What Windows Phone 7 DOESN'T Have
Remember all the fuss that was made about the iPhone not having cut-and-paste in its first couple of OS iterations?
Nor will it have memory card options.
Shock and horror...a Windows Phone without a memory card slot???
True. However, it will have embedded flash memory similar to SDHC cards. On the plus side, we could be looking at a 64GB memory module.
As far as third-party apps go, it won't have a mobile version of Mozilla Firefox, either. Mozilla was in the process of buidling Firefox for the Windows Mobile platform, but Windows Phone 7 changes everything.
Essentially, Windows Phone 7 will be a closed system like the iPhone and not an open-source one like Android. Then again, this is Microsoft so this should be no big surprise. There will also be no multi-tasking for third-party apps and you will only be apple to get your apps from the Microsoft Marketplace.
Darn.
Oh well. It's still got a heap of competition before it's even available. The proof will be in how the market reacts to the on-sale/contract models.
Until then, it's not really an iPhone-killer yet.
