Wow, looks like they really dropped the ball on this one. I was hellbent on a Win7 Nokia piece but looks like I'll get a Galaxy or an iPhone now.

Thoughts?

Waiting until 2012 and getting good, quality hardware is better instead of rushing it to the market. The day the partnership was announced, 2012 was already being spread around as the expected release time frame - perfect for those of us who are hitting our 2 year after the original handsets were released.

I'd take careful consideration if you are still interested in a WP7 device in the future, because now, every smartphone is an investment because of apps.

WP7 only supports one hardware configuration though

Huh? No, it doesn't - it does only support one resolution currently, but there are BASE hardware requirements that are (or rather, were) high end only.

You're acting like there won't be another hardware release by any other manufacturer ...
