Calling all Windows Phone owners!
 

I just found out that at lease a few other people on here are fellow WP7 owners and figured why not start a thread for all things WP7.

What do you like/dislike about your phone? What cool apps are you using? Did you get the NoDo update yet? Anything WP7 related is up for discussion.

I have a Samsung Focus and I love it. I'm diggin' the new ESPN app that was just released.

I have the HTC Surround and I love it, I mostly spend my time with XBL games Fruit Ninja and Burn it All have been my favorites so far. Don't have many apps on it but I love the Netflix app.

Whats Nodo?

i plan to get one later this year when my current contract is up and allows me to upgrade my phone. and i plan to get the "LG Optimus Quantum"

Nodo is the update that had been coming since January that adds copy/paste, better app performance and a few other things. It is just now getting rolled out to the majority of users but some people have had it for awhile.

I've had my phone pretty much since it dropped and I love it. It's a phone, so...whatever with that. It works. I can make/receive calls and text messages, which doesn't seem to be enough for a lot of people. I could care less about the worthless apps.

However, I love the XBL features built into it and I love being able to get achievements in games on the thing. I've wasted a sh*t load of hours on a bunch, but Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night is probably my favourite. iBlast Moki, Parachute Panic and Revolution are also decent time wasters and I'm a little ashamed to say I own both Star Wars games, with Cantina being the one I spent the most time on. Really disappointed that Katamari turned out so sh*tty thanks to the awful accelerometer controls.

Also, I like to check out my Live friends list when I get a chance. I can usually spot when some of my friends have woken up and what some others have been doing when they don't go to work or are "too sick" to do anything.

Yeah the XBL integration is real nice. I'm a big Fable fan so I am glad to see that the the Fable Golf WP7 game ties into your actual Fable Xbox game. I can see alot of other cool WP7 / Xbox game tie ins like that happening in the future.

I think I've probably logged more time on bejeweled and fruit ninja than anything...

the the XBL integration is one of the main features that makes me want to purchase a Windows 7 Phone

Have you guys seen this?

looks interesting

Me! I have Windows Phone 7. Samsung.

How do I block a number in my Windows Phone? That's one thing I can't figure out, and it's a feature I've enjoyed for at least a couple generations of phones now.

I can't figure it out either, which probably means it's not possible yet. If there's one thing lacking in WP7 devices it's little things like that. How is it possible to release a phone without the ability to have custom ringtones at this point? I just want a regular ring for calls, but all I can use are weird beats and jingles.

I know, How am I suppose to have the Ninja Turtles theme? Sucks.:tcry:

It's supposed to be "on the way", but who the hell knows? It could never happen.

This isn't entirely related, but I want this to be my ringtone so bad.

I would call you everyday.

You're openly insulting everything that songs stands for, my friend. You neither walk straight, nor be straight!

You could never be more right. :(

oh man, wasn't aware of that

As far as blocking numbers there is nothing that I am aware of at this point either. Maybe there will be an app down the road.

The "no custom ringtones" and the camera settings resetting everytime are the only things that really bug me about WP7. Someone did figure out how to do custom ringtones, but it required a jailbreak.

EDIT: Here is a link to an MS answers article about number blocking. They say it's not possible but there are some apps that might help. They don't mention what ones though.

Also, no way to turn ringer off but leave alarm on. And I can't alter the "snooze" settings" beyond the default 5 minutes. Lame.
