Windows Phone 7 Follow-up and My New Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize

     I said I was going to post a follow-up to my Windows Phone 7 review.  Like I thought the newness wore off and the harsh reality set in, Windows Phone 7 was not for me and here's why.  First, there were several apps that I had on my previous Android phones that did not have any alternatives in the Windows Phone Marketplace.  Secondly, I was very disappointed that the phone did not scan barcodes like Android phones.  You had to take a picture and then it didn't even detect the code in the picture half the time.  All of this led me to the realization that Windows Phone 7 just isn't up to speed with Android and I didn't want to find myself still waiting for those apps to be developed after 6 months or a year.

    So, I took the phone back and picked up US Cellular's best Android phone at the moment, the Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize.  This phone is a great Android phone with an awesome battery life, a large vibrant screen, and plenty of apps via the Android Market.  If you saw my pictures and video of the Tesla concert I just attended, all those were taken with my new Mesmerize.  I was impressed most with the video quality.  This phone is amazing and I'm glad I finally have a nice reliable Android phone!
