Chris Pirillo has just posted a video walkthrough of Windows Phone 7 Series:
What I found most interesting is that it takes exactly 3.0 seconds to open an email from the inbox (16.10 into the video). That’s about 2.9 seconds longer than it takes on an iPhone. There are also THREE transitions happening when you click on an email from the inbox:
- Transition from inbox view to a view with just the person’s name
- Transition from this view to a view with (a) person’s name, (b) toolbar, (c) menu
- Transition from this view to a view with (a) email contents and (b) toolbar
If Microsoft indeed want corporate users to use this device they should remove most of the transitions and focus more on workflow and efficiency of using the device. That’s what you want to show up if you want to keep your corporate Windows Mobile users from switching to iPhones.
