Sure, you may get more graphics with a snapdragon processor, but if your phone is used primarily for work or just for communication, then that's a mighty large power-drain.
And, equally, capacitive screens have their own limitations; i.e. no stylus. Fat-finger friendly-only may work for the luddites, but I know after 10 years of WinMo I still use my stylus 30-40% of the time.
Sure, I think WinMo needs to start setting the bar with respect to h/w, but I don't think that should come at anyone's expense. The quickest way to kill WinMo, or any other, is to try and replicate someone else's success to the 'T'.
As for this thread: FoF.

not disagreeing at all with any of the stated here, but when you think about it, wm is still ahead of the hardware game with the exception of capacitive touch screen. When we first read the specs of windows phone 7 2 years ago we were scratching our heads a bit because we knew it would be powerful - even moreso than the most powerful phone at the time (which was the tilt perhaps). Its tough to argue if microsoft is spearheading this campaign for snapdragon and monumental ram, but it can be argued that microsoft is making oem developers very aware to keep a partnership in the future, the hardware has to be much different. That aside windows is evolving and I think will still blow us all away and I think again people will not be dismayed.
But even now, touch pro 2 can go toe to toe with android and iphone and do fairly well. The problem in windows mobile is advertising and the nuts in the blogosphere *pointing at noah of phone dog for example* for continuously bashing windows mobile and calling anything else the shangrila. Opinions differ on devices granted, but comments such as windows sucks bla bla bla is dismissing what is being done in the industry by microsoft - which is a lot. Just sayin...
