Sprint HTC Arrive: Windows Phone 7 is not ready for landscape keyboards

Summary: Sprint and HTC are getting ready to release the first CDMA Windows Phone 7 device. The hardware is quite nice and the slide-out QWERTY keyboard is one of the best ever on a phone, unfortunately the operating system does not really support these types of keyboards.

  • Really shows what utter clowns microsoft are.

    Arrogant, Deaf, dumb and useless seem to be microsofts motto or mantra.

    They should really give up and quit inflicting mankind with their crapware.
