Well?
I wasn't comparing the hardware whatsoever. I was comparing the presumptuous cheapskates who just have to have a TP2 now and then keep their fingers crossed that twelve months from now it will work with WM7. Chances are, it won't, at least not the way it was intended. XDA-Devs will cook up something, no doubt, but it won't be 100% compatible.

Also, how will all the hardware between now and then be the same? The hardware and the featuresets with every manufacturer, carrier and OS is changing all the time and will absolutely change in the next year. Can you name any phones on the shelves in the U.S. right now with Snapdragon or Tegra? No, you can't. One year from now, you will.

Got it?
