I don't care what the ios and android fanboys say, win mo 7 is awesome

I really like WP7 and will likely sell my Droid X for one once they hit Verizon. For the time I had the HD7, I honestly felt it was more efficient than iOS or Android. I can't quantify it, but I just found myself messing less with my phone to get the information I needed. And the entire OS was so smooth and fast and I could uninstall all carrier apps with no problem. Having a native Netflix app was great and something I miss with Android; nothing like being able to stream items from my watch instantly queue any time.

MS is taking the Apple route with phone locking. See the Dailytech article.

Square tile widgets being your "homescreen" is the suck. But then, Im someone who likes a nice GUI, bells and whistles, and graphics. So YMMV

Definitely YMMV, because I HATE nice GUIs, bells and whistles and ESPECIALLY graphics. I think you're pretty much alone in your love for those things blackangst.

I wouldn't mind playing around with a WP7 phone, but there doesn't even appear to be any inbound for Verizon. I'm saddened by that, because I expect I'll want to stick with Android, but I'd at least like to confirm one way or the other. Especially after a service pack/major update, I think it could be a good platform, especially considering Microsoft is holding a tight leash on the platform. I love Android, but recognize there is a real problem in the overall approach by the market... and it forces a lot of research to determine which will be a good phone, likely to receive strong community/developer support, and how likely it will get official updates in a timely manner.

I've been treated quite well with my Moto Droid, but this Spring/Summer I'll want to get an LTE Android phone, and I don't want to choose the wrong phone.

I think WP7 hits the Big Red in Q1 of this year.

Well, between you and I am alone, yes. But I certainly am not when it comes to the love of eye candy And yes, thats why I said YMMV.
