Windows Phone 7 BootLoader?!?

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:57:17 +0000

Now here is something we all know about. It appears that the HTC WP7 device HTC HD7 has a bootloader! Say what Jason?!?! No this is not because of a custom rom, or anything like that. In fact the article says we don’t know why it showed up. It just did. We all thought that a Bootloader existed but we were not 100% sure. Now we know that the old SPL system is there somewhere at least.

Now with that being said, it could be because of the SD Card got corrupt and it failed to boot up properly. The phone owner Sam Gibbs had this happen to his HTC device and he’s not too sure why it happened… Let’s just hope that it is fixable or he should be looking to HTC to get a new device.

Now with this picture we can see how some things work on WP7. Could this lead to a ROM? Possibly, but more than likely not; it might lead to a way for it to start happening. WP7 needs to be cracked open, we are all aware of that, but in given time. Microsoft is keeping things underwraps for now… What does this mean to you PPCGeeks, could you invision a custom WP7 rom? We already know that we can write using the provxml files. Now this? Whats next? You tell us below!

WP7 Data and Voice Usage Summary vs. Apple iPhone!

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 15:30:05 +0000

So the luming question about Windows Phone 7, and the live tiles is: How much data do we need to plan for? Is this going to be a HUGE spike in service costs since everything is live, from cloud data? Or is this going to be about same usage as other phones? Well my fellow PPCG Fans we do have an answer for you!

Although it is still early in the game it does not look like WP7 uses abnormal amounts compared to Apple’s iPhone. It fact it looks like less! Well the article goes on to talk about the WP7 Voice experience, well I can sum it up for you 1 Drop call in 5 months. Hows that for you Apple Fan boys!!!

But here let me quote Paul Thurrott.”I have still only dropped one call in five months of use, yes. In fact, you may know that I just spent 8 days on the road, and I made many calls in Seattle and that area, and in Las Vegas, then a call from Charlotte, NC on the way home, and then a few from Boston. Not one dropped call on the whole trip. It’s been night and day, as we say.”It might be noted that he is using the Samsung Focus that REPLACED his iPhone.

Hey Apple, any comment about this? Want to blame the network again? AT&T is good, maybe the iPhone is the true issue!
