    It's nice to see that Apple is now offering free phone location service in response to Microsoft. Competition is good!

    What a perfect gift for the holidays…thanks OhGizmo! I wish people commented on your other entries as much as this one; comments are half the fun of a site like this.

  • conedude13

    OMG! ITS TACO TUESDAY!! and i would TOTALLY tweet that from this phone if i had it!! :P

  • k8te

    I read that the browser for Windows Phone 7 is pretty good.

    I have never owned any Windows OS based smartphone, and I would love to own one!

    Oooh, shiny Windows 7 phone, sooo pretttyyyyyyy

  • http://www.facebook.com/fictionfactory Trevor Alder

    If only I could do more, with SOMETHING!

  • http://twitter.com/deleolowoyo Dele Olowoyo

    I do more with less by using awesome phone apps. There are many useful, fun, and creative apps out there that help make life a little bit easier to manage.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7U2C3SDKSSCPKIRR7GKXM3WCZ4 Josh

    I could do more with less by using my phone for everything, as opposed to a phone and a computer and having to wait until I got home to do anything internet-based. This would save me tons of time which I could then spend with my family.

    If I won the Windows Phone 7, I would visit ohgizmo more often with a mobile web browser that actually works (WM6.5 not so much). :)

  • Andy

    I will visit t-mobile store during this weekend. Eager to see how this phone stacks against Android.

  • sgschm

    Doing more with less means creating a tight budget and sticking to it, avoiding impulse buys, and saving for rainy days. Peace of mind generates productivity.

  • http://twitter.com/RyanWoirol Ryan Woirol

    I could really go for a corndog right now.

  • http://www.facebook.com/danny.blau Danny Blau

    make ME the winner! you know you want to!

  • gizmo_duck

    If it's the Dell Venue Pro, hopefully it's a unit without all the problems I've been reading about like not accepting any SIM card.

  • Johnal

    With this phone I'll spend less time staring at a screen, and more time staring at a big screen.

  • Yogi

    I get more done by using the Microsoft Outlook junk filters to see less spam.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HM3DEMTT22NKDTHVRCIFKB7IY4 Raphe Cheli

    I would surely get more done with fewer devices if I had one good one that consolidated the functionality of several!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_QL3DYBC5VMCHT3PJWHC5MA5IV4 turtlebird

    I do more with less by baking from scratch and cooking meals instead of grabbing fast food or eating out. It not only saves money, but it's also healthier. I really need a new phone!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BWQ5BJUF4AOAIL4WKND3RA6DPA Vin Iso

    During Thanksgiving, we eat more with less time! Haha, how do we do this? We always have a potluck for every Thanksgiving dinner. And we're all luck that everyone brings delicious food! It would be awesome to win!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_DT2X7IELP6AJBSH3X7MZGHHWGA Team O

    If I had a Windows Phone 7, I'd use the camera on my phone more because of the dedicated camera button that can be used even when the screen is off.

  • feffrey

    Yay it is not over 9000 yet!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1603971880 Howard Abraham

    Microsoft says we can expect 3000 apps in Marketplace by the end of the week.

  • http://twitter.com/alexcue alexcue

    I wonder how this thing stacks up to higher-end Android devices like the X, Galaxy S, or Nexus S. Gonna have to get my hands on it to be sure! :D

  • Yogi

    I get my screen more organized with less hassle using Windows 7’s Snaps feature.

  • conedude13

    there was supposed to be pretzels today at work. someone didn't bring them in tho. i'm sad. winning this phone would TOTALLY make me happier tho!! :P

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=2600601 Emily Thornton

    I bring snacks with me everywhere, especially while travelling. This helps avoid the low-blood-sugar rush to an awful fast-food meal.

  • k8te

    Can Windows Phone 7 be used as a hotspot (infrastructure mode) like Android?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HM3DEMTT22NKDTHVRCIFKB7IY4 Raphe Cheli

    We do more with less by periodically holding garage sales to help us de-clutter. We then use the proceeds to buy the whole family dinner at a nice restaurant!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=9332899 JJ Murphy

    During the holidays, I tend to premake some things that go great in 3-4 meals. Like cornbread. It is great in stuffing, as a panini, etc.

  • http://www.facebook.com/danny.blau Danny Blau

    today is a strange work day. work to be done, practically no one in the office, yet here I am trying to still win this phone! haha.

  • http://twitter.com/deleolowoyo Dele Olowoyo

    Doing more with less means keeping your cars as long as possible especially when they are paid off.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BWQ5BJUF4AOAIL4WKND3RA6DPA Vin Iso

    One example of me doing more with less is carpooling with friends to school (when I don't take the train). Being college students, we'll save all the money we can and it's so convenient that I have a group of friends that all live pretty close! It's fun to see each other in the mornings, ha and eat breakfast on the go. The phone looks awesome!

  • http://twitter.com/RyanWoirol Ryan Woirol

    I believe this comment is 20x different than my last

  • http://twitter.com/Jyoken John Wesley

    I spend less money buy checking out books from my local library instead of buying them.

  • feffrey

    ouch i just cut my self

  • Johnal

    This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for having a chance to win this phone!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_QL3DYBC5VMCHT3PJWHC5MA5IV4 turtlebird

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for people who pour their hearts and souls into blogging! I am especially thankful for the phone giveaway as I am in desperate need of a new one!

  • sgschm

    Doing more for less means buying a gently used car that's been cared for and maintaining it carefully for another ten years.

  • sstran

    i love giving out coupons as presents. Like ill watch your kids for an hour or help you clean your house. they are cheap and effective. so everyone is happy

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1603971880 Howard Abraham

    One app I find really interesting is called “Podcasts!” It allows you to stream podcasts rather than having to download them. It has a well-designed menu that is very consistent with the WP7 theme. Podcasts are organized by category.

    I appreciate not having to store podcasts on my phone. It leaves more room for apps. :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=2600601 Emily Thornton

    I work at a library, so I haven't bought a book (other than gifts) in years. Support your local library, and do more with less!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HM3DEMTT22NKDTHVRCIFKB7IY4 Raphe Cheli

    We do more with less by making a list before we go out shopping and sticking to it.

  • http://twitter.com/RyanWoirol Ryan Woirol

    Damn, I am really hungry. Good thing there is a feast in my future

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rafael-Amador/100000959448504 Rafael Amador

    my dogs want this phone for me to find them dog parks

  • feffrey

    yay happy turkey slaughtering day!
    (I say that in jest cause I love killing and eating turkeys.)
