After three days: WP7

After about 72 hours with the new phone there are somethings I want to clear up, add or just clearly make up excuses for.

Lets get started. The Google Calender omission, there isn't one it's there you just have to know where to look. Settings>email & accounts>Google the click calender. I had to restart the phone to get it to sync but it did!!! So those of us who use Google calender will be happy to know that the option is there.

The email deletion without opening up the email thing. There is also a way to do that, the design is a bit odd but it works. click in front of the email then tick boxes show up with one of the options at the bottom of the screen being delete. Since there are tick boxes multiple email delete is a possibility which is great.

Now going back to Google calender for a minute, in my defense I will blame Palm and webOS for this (lol). It's called Synergy. When you first load up a webOS device it asks for you accounts what you want added and if one of them is a gmail it syncs email, contacts and calender in one shot. No need to configure this.

There is also no "Just Type" or Universal search from the main screen and this makes me a sad panda. I really miss that.

I also miss the phnx Twitter app, But that's not something WP7 can help.

Speaking of Apps the Marketplace doesn't have a search option. If it does I can't find it and it's really annoying. Having to scroll through all of the apps to find the one you want sucks. If you know the name of the app you should have a search option. Type and go. 
UPDATE: There is a search option just not on the Marketplace itself you have to use the Search Button next to the Windows key to search. At every other point in time this brings up Bing. 

The virtual keyboard is really good, probably the best I have used. Also the auto-correct is awesome. I liked the auto-correct in webOS 1.4.5 a lot I didn't like it too much in webOS 2.1 but WP7's works really well. I do have a physical keyboard but I find it awkward to use a landscape keyboard I like. Besides the WP7 team did a great job with the virtual one that I don't even feel the need to use the other one. I think webOS can use a virtual keyboard on the pre 3 or larger screen phones.

I am still digging this phone and the OS. It has been 3 days and I am not wanting to return it unless a pre 3 is coming within 30 days. I'll be back in a few days to let you know how it's going for the week.

RoX over and out.
