Will the quality of apps be on par with iOS and Android? It will be some time before we know the answer to some of those questions, but from what we've seen so far, the outlook is promising.

Microsoft says it's confident that the Windows Phone Marketplace with launch with more than 1, apps and games when the first phones ship in the U.

The company expects to release several hundred apps per week till the end of During our review period, there were about apps available, including some of the more major and mainstream apps such as Twitter, Slacker, Foursquare, OpenTable, and Fandango. Our concern going into the testing wasn't so much with the quantity of apps the apps will come but with the quality. However, we were heartened by what we saw when we checked out some of the available titles.

Many of the apps, such as Twitter, Slacker, and IMDb, have adopted the same type of panoramic interface found in the hubs, so you already get a familiar feel as you're using the apps. They're also quite eye-catching and full-featured. For example, in Fandango, you can watch movie trailers within the app and purchase tickets. You can check out more Windows Phone 7 apps here. Xbox Live Xbox Live wasn't fully functional or live on our Samsung Focus and HTC Surround review units, but once it's officially turned on, you'll be able to personalize your avatar and your gamer's profile and achievements.

You'll be able to try all games before buying. A number of the games took a while to load, but once going, the gameplay was smooth and fun. In Twin Blades, a zombie-slashing game, we were able to maneuver easily even on a smaller touch screen, thanks to well-placed controls. Without knowing what the final experience will be like, it's hard for us to really make a judgment, but the Xbox Live integration could be a key differentiator for Windows Phone 7.

Maps and search Bing serves as the primary search engine on Windows Phone 7. A press of the phone's search brings up the delightful Bing app into which you can enter your search term either by text or voice. Bing will then display Web results, as well as local and news items for the search term. If you choose local, results are listed based on your current location, and tapping on a listing will bring you to a new page with the address, phone number, link to directions, and if available Web site, hours of operation, and reviews.

Turn-by-turn navigation is offered in both vehicle and pedestrian modes as text-based instructions, but there's no option for mass transit or bicycle modes as there is with Google Maps. This probably is fine for a majority of people. However, in cities like New York and San Francisco, it would be nice to have those options, since mass transit and bikes are popular modes of transportation.

Overall, we were quite happy with the navigation experience. The Bing search engine was quick to return results, which were mostly relevant to our searches. Our position on the map was sometimes off by a half block or so, and map redraws definitely took some time. This is one area where we miss Nokia's Ovi Maps. Directions were also accurate, and we liked that Bing showed both a smaller map view and text-based instructions on the same page so you don't have to switch back and forth.

You can view each separately, though, and Bing offers traffic data as well as an aerial view. In mid-May, Microsoft updates its Bing application to bring voice-guided navigation to Windows Mobile devices and the plan is to bring this to Windows Phone 7, but it won't be available at launch.

In terms of search on the phone, Windows Phone 7 sadly does not offer universal search. This would have been a particularly useful feature, since the platform holds so much information.

You can search within the People hub, e-mail, and Marketplace, but hopefully Microsoft integrates universal search in the future, so that you can look up an item from any point on the phone. In the past, competitors like Apple were lambasted by the public for not having such features, so you'd think Microsoft would take precautions not to repeat such mistakes. We understand some sacrifices had to be made in order to meet the holiday release deadline and that they'll eventually be added in a future update, but these are some pretty key and basic features that we would expect to be included out of the gate.

Criticisms aside, there's a lot we like about Windows Phone 7. The Zune integration is killer, and the core apps are much improved. We also commend Microsoft for being able to acknowledge that its old OS wasn't working and taking a chance on rebuilding something from the ground up.

The end result is something fresh, fun, and functional. Some people will cry that it's too little, too late for Microsoft, but should there ever be a time when manufacturers should stop offering customers a choice? That would be a sad, sad day. Microsoft's long road to a comeback won't be an easy one, but at least it's now headed down the right path. Free YouTube Downloader. IObit Uninstaller. Internet Download Manager.

On the upside, the same support thread reaffirmed that OEMs have no facility at all to block updates; carrier tyranny can be avoided through buying unbranded full-price handsets. This is a monumental cock-up.

Failing to install properly is bad. Corrupting firmware and needing recovery is terrible. Bricking handsets altogether is inexcusable. Who on earth wants to schlep into a store to get a new handset just because Microsoft and Samsung screwed something up? In spite of the handsets being available for four months now, in spite of having a month or more to test the update, it doesn't actually work.

I don't know how many different firmware variants Samsung has—probably one per telco branding or more—but it's not going to be thousands.

Testing all the different variants was certainly something Microsoft could have done, but apparently has not. I'm sure that Samsung has some blame here too—the problems thus far appear to be limited to its handsets—but if Samsung has screwed something up, Microsoft should have noticed this and forced them to fix it before shipping the phones to end users. As someone who uses and likes Windows Phone 7, I can only hope that this is mere teething trouble, and that future updates will be perfect.

But I'm fearful that it's actually a sign of things to come. Even with the minimal variation between makes and models that Windows Phone 7 has at the moment, it looks like it's already too much for the update process to cope with. I can't help but be disappointed. Part of the promise of Windows Phone 7 is that in spite of the range of manufacturers, the software is consistent across different devices.

This screw-up makes it look like that consistency is only skin-deep—under the covers, there's ample scope for things to get screwed up. And this was just a minor update—what's it going to be like when we see major updates like the multitasking upgrade that'll come in the second half of this year?

This is the local storage unit and the OS image is obviously pre-loaded. Other sources will require the device to be connected to the PC and I can safely assume that you need an actual signed OS image to be able to load it. So once you have this selected, you have to set the way KITL runs. By default, it is set to Disabled, but you can set it to be either Active or Passive. Kernel Independent Transport Layer. Once you are prompted to select the boot mode, it can be either Cold or Warm.

If you select Cold, the phone will be automatically reset to the fectory defaults when loading the image, so as I said - backup your data. Warm boot will apply the settings to the OS for the current session. Saving settings will mean that the device will boot with the same bootloader options everytime you start it.
