For the next 30 days, I'm going to test drive the Windows Phone 7 to see how great it would be without my iPhone. I picked up the Samsung Focus last night and it took me two hours to reconfigure my existing SIM to my new test subject. So far, it seems to be worth the effort.
As far as features go, I was really excited about being able to use Xbox Live Marketplace on my new 7. I'm considering getting a few games and trying to entice some of my Xbox pals to come play with me over the phone. Trouble is that I realized they don't use Microsoft Points and I would actually have to get my credit card out. Until I do all my research, I'm going to just download the trials and see how the games render on the phone.
Right off the bat, I'm finding that I needed to download the apps I used to enjoy. Of the many apps, there are a couple I'm sorely missing so far: TweetDeck, GetGlue, and Words with Friends. Keep in mind that this is Day 1, so if anyone out there can help me find my missing apps, I'm all ears.
Meanwhile, I have to reboot my computer for now so I can complete the mandatory Zune software install. Wish me luck!
