People that actually flash & customize phones is VERY small in comparison to the number of people that own smartphones.. and with this new wm7 thing looks like itll be even smaller lol

You just gave a reason why people will buy Windows Phone 7.

A lot of our devices probably can but Microsoft wants to make sure it only runs on devices that can run it to it's fullest ability. If they allowed it to run on our phones people like you would be shitting on it for not running as smoothly as the higher end phones. Another no win situation for Microsoft.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. And carrier reps never lie or over exaggerate. I only know a couple people with Android devices and no others are considering it that I'm aware of. And people are working to get it on our devices because it's new and a new toy to play with. Just like other UI's. Android is to the mobile market what Linux is to the desktop market.
