Well doesn't all those have the same cpu, ram and OS? So I would say they are the same :P Just a matter of wich screen size, camera you want and if you want a keyboard. Hard to judge wich one that is the best as it is just a matter of personal opinion.

I can only tell you which is the worst ;)

Re: Microsoft announces new W7 phones. Which one is the best?
 

Depend. Can be installed on them a decent OS? Because im too spoiled to use a phone without multitasking or cut and paste, to say the least.

Missing in the cloud (vapor?) of news about that today were missing a few things, like battery life (for such big screens) or apps (ok, being unfair here, the amount of apps will dwarf the amount available for iphones, at least the in the malware category)

My pick
 

The one that runs Meego and has all the required firmware drivers...:cool:

Exactly, and this will easely be offset by small changes in price. In the end it will be a matter of which one of these producers can sell their device for the least amount of money, while Microsoft gets their $15 no matter what. This is pissing in your pants to keep warm. Microsoft is already dictating the hardware platform this OS will run on.

Right now only Apple, Nokia, RIM and Samsung are free to make the hardware they want. These are the four that will survive in the long run in the smartphone arena.

Because we all know that great hardware specs is the key to gaining large market/mindshare and customers satisfaction? ;)

Re: Microsoft announces new W7 phones. Which one is the best?
 

i agree, they all should be roughly the same, but, maybe the samsung might have the edge of the samsung galaxy s hardware on it

my favorite right now are all the htc ones (specifically mozart/trophy/hd7), and also the dell venue

Re: Microsoft announces new W7 phones. Which one is the best?
 

That Dell has the best looks, imho - but it looks HUGE in that person's hands.

Re: Microsoft announces new W7 phones. Which one is the best?
 

it's a matter of personal opinion here. i'd go for htc devices because i already used a wizard and kaiser. i preferred w/ physical keyboard so quantum and hd7 is on my list. hummingbird beats snapdragon and samsung only has it...hard to choose...
