• The first 48 hours with my new Windows Phone

  A week and a half ago, I activated my Windows Phone with my AT&T cell number. I was playing around with the HTC Titan on WiFi for a little bit on Thursday night after the Windows Phone event, but I wasn’t able to really try out some of the features without cell service.  After transferring…

• A backstory

  The reactions I have gotten over the past weekend from testing the new Windows Phone that I won were somewhat surprising.
