What do you think of Windows Phone 7?

For those of you who don't know about wm7 you can find more info here... http://www.windowsphone7series.com/

I have mixed feelings about windows phone 7 from what I've seen.
Are you planning on getting a wm7 phone when available, switching to android or another os or sticking with wm6.5.

From my standpoint, if Android gets better Exchange support, I will go in that direction. If not, WM7 will be the target.

wm7 just looks kind of plain, im not happy with the demo at least

[Meanee]

Considering SDK information not released yet, and what we saw was an early build, it's too early to tell. But what I saw impressed me and for me, unless Microsoft pulls some idiotic move, it's WP7S for me.

Side note, I am calling it WinMo 7. The name MS gave it can go suck a big one.

As most Windows Mobile hardcore users, i'd feel bad if I didn't "give it a chance". So when the TP2 successor is out with WM7, i will give it a shot. if it's not to my liking, i'm hoping something else grabs me in a good way that can meet my needs.

I am thoroughly underwhelmed to be honest

I am not sure how ppl can tell?
Seriously - Have you done that much research in the last 24 hours since it came out?!

Hate it.

The zune interface is effective and simplistic for a media player, but it is not detailed enough for a smartphone. In my opinion, WM7 looks like a dumb-phone with an S-Class UI or something similar.

It's incredibly obvious who MS is competing with and that is such a turn-off for me. If I wanted an IPhone, I would buy one. Microsoft has completely lost my loyalty with this latest iteration.

I like my phone to be customizable in every way so that I can make it my own.

I like my phone to be able to have multiple apps open at once.

I like my phone to be able to run an app developed by ANYONE.

I like my phone to allow me more control over it's functions.

I like my phone NOT TO HAVE APP HEADER TEXT CUT OFF THE SCREEN.

Everyone can call it "innovative" all they want, but to me they can keep it and I'll gladly jump to Android.

I don't know what to think for now :-\

As far as i can tell, they haven't said either way on customization, or multitasking or non marketplace apps. With htc saying they are bringing a unique user experience to WP7, there is hope for customization.
