Lumia ads here on tv are horrible. E.g. this

does it get more impersonal?


They have placed the Lumia in stores next to the iPhone 4S.
I still think wp7 sucks at winning customers in store. First thing you see are those ugly tiles (how somebody can say they're not ugly is beyond my comprehension), and while everything is nicely animated there is no immediate emotional attachement.

For example its difficult to see when an UI element is clicked. Something to get used to I guess but every customer out there expects a big fat visual hint.

Maybe I'm too conservative, but everytime I touch a wp7 handset it feels alien somehow. In constrast to ios, android, webos and meego.

econdly, the version of IE on Windows Phone 7 is actually IE Mobile 9, which is not the same thing as desktop IE9
Problem is buying a mobile phone is not a rational decision, in fact its something very emotional for most people out there. I guess MS does not understand this.
