No Custom Ringtones For Windows Phone 7

Microsoft what were you thinking? No custom ringtones? why on earth do they not allow users to have their own personalised ringtone?

These are a really huge set backs for the younger generation of the tech saavy phone lovers. 30 to 40 ringtones are available as native tones and thats all you get! As of now the lastest firmware doesnt let you set your own ringtones (Yes not even a mp3 support). Maybe its possible to have custom tones in the future updates of the firmware but as of now microsoft are showing their empty hands! Luckily some carriers are cashing into this feature by providing more ringtones along with the subscription plans.

Maybe just maybe microsoft could sell more ringtones in their live market store, but who would want to spend their savings on a ringtone? This is one of the aspects that Windows phone 7 might lose its market to the already mighty Iphone and the Android devices. Lets wait it out and see the future updates on this features and for now lets keep our fingers crossed.

How to reset Windows Phone 7

Here is how you will have to Reset your Windows phone 7 device.

To reset your device you'd have to think whether to do a hard or a soft reset. Hard reset is a general term used to format your phone and restore your default factory settings and a soft reset is done when your phone has instability issues or it hangs pretty often. The soft reset flushes out your data in the RAM memory and gives you a faster running OS on your mobile device. Earlier on your windows mobile 6.5 and above, you normally had to press down certain keys on your device or you'd have to use a pin or a stylus to press the reset button inside the phone panel and so on.

 However on Windows Phone 7 to make a hard reset you have to go to the Settings, About screen, where you'll find a "reset your phone" button. Hitting this button will revert the device back to factory condition. Though a soft reset is'nt neccessary for the windows phone 7 because it has far supperior firmware stability, but you can do it by just simply turning off the device and turning it on again or you can just direcly remove the battery and replace it back.

Facebook on Windows Phone 7

Facebook application for the windows phone 7 has been released recently.

It can be downloaded for free from the marketplace. However Windows phone 7 has a very good facebook integration from its "people and pictures hub" app native on the device. This app is designed only for the facebook. It is pretty much well designed for the phone. Some of the features like video uploads and instant messaging are absent in the application.

On the whole its a pretty decent app for the people who want to have a quick view of their profile and stay in touch with their friends. This app doesnt help users to go "Desktop Computer Free" to operate face book.

Windows Phone 7 or Android?

The major battle over the Phone OS has just started. The Android vs Windows Phone 7. Letsfind out who gets the upper hand!

Home Screen
On the home screen of the android you can find clusters of Icons and text fields. This isn't pretty to look at the first glance. Only a tech savy guy could figure out how to go around the icons to make use of the phone. But a normal layman would spend hours to just figure out how to make one simple call. On the whole the screen looks messy with lots of icons. One benefit is that the user has multiple pages on the home screen where one can have lots of icons outside its main menu so that they can have a very quick access.

Where as on the Windows Phone 7 the home screen is just beautiful as it can get. Windows phone 7 sports the "live tiles" which has very obvious icons that even a 5 year old kid can make a call within 2 minutes. The screen comes out alive with its active information or pictures popping out every few seconds. But you make think that it goes hard on the battery, but to your surprise it doesn't. The tiles are neatly stacked on the home screen and the navigation is a breeze.
Winner - Windows Phone 7

Applications
Android phones come out very good in this round as it has atleast 20,000

HTC Trophy Windows Phone 7 Review

HTC Trophy which was codenamed as "Spark" is the latest for HTC Windows Phone 7 to be out on the market today.

The Hardware.
 The HTC trophy is not much of a high end hardware device. It sports a 3.8 inch capacitive touch SLCD Screen which supports 480x800 pixels of resolution, 1 Ghz snap dragon processor, 512 Mb Rom and 576 of RAM, 5 mega pixel Camera with LED flash, WIFI and Blutooth 2.1 Support and 720p HD video Recording. It provides a 8 Gb storage space. It also includes various sensors for gravity, compass, proximity and ambient light etc..

The design
The device weighs around 140 grams which is quite heavier compared to its android models. The screen isn't plastic surprisingly its glass. The ear piece is barely visible on top of the glass screen and sports 3 touch buttons for back, start and search with LED background glow. One of the main drawbacks is that there is no front facing camera. It sports a 3.5mm Jack provison for your Music Headphones.

The battery
 Trophy's 1300mAh battery and its ability to power the handset through the day. As you'd expect, battery life drops quickly when using the camera and video recording functionality even without LED flash support. On one particularly heavy day of usage, we shot about 15 minutes of video and 30 stills forcing us back to the wall charger after about 10 hours.

The camera
Trophy basically has re-incorporated the same camera hardware from the HTC Surround Handset. The camera does exellent job shooting outdoor daytime shoots but does quite poor on the indoor and at low light situation. Flash feature sometimes over bleeches the images making it look pretty bad.  Trophy shoots H.264 encoded video at VGA resolution to a .MP4 container. While you can change it to shoot MPEG-4 encoded video at 720p resolution to a .MP4 container, the video resolution resets each time you exit the camera app. Overall the performance is not bad as compared to the older windows mobile in the series.

The Wrap Up
At the end of the day, you may find the trophys is not exactly the best smart phone out in the market, but it does justice to the price it is offered at.

Problems with HTC Windows Phone 7

The first negative reviews about a Windows phone 7 will be the HTC Trophy.

Users have been complaining that it is relavently slower device when compared with other Windows Phone 7 devices. Users are complainig in two important aspects. One which will be the speed and second being that the trophy sports a cheap quality display. The HTC trophy had been compared with the Samsung Omnia 7 which is pretty similar in terms of specifications.

The Omnia sports the same hardware like the Trophy but with little changes. Users feel the Omnia 7 is noticably faster than the trophy. The same game run on trophy which was run on the Omnia, loads much much faster than the Trophy. Also some users feel Omina 7 display screen is more responsive and snappier on the navigation side. This is a severe beating for the HTC phone manufaturer. It has also been said that the speed related issues might be due to slower storage cards on the Trophy.

Htc must release a firmware update which will improve the screen responsiveness and speed related issues. If they fail to do that, HTC Trophy will fade away from the market.
