*yawn* what a total overreaction.

remember some Driod phones have faster processors than the TP2.

I found the browser on droid eris & moto droid clumsy often forcing wrong orientation and with significant lag. the eris is a poor performer as it has SenseUI also. The motorola droid keyboard was dated & bad (vs TP2) and the menu softkeys poorly designed and confusing. Android itself was confusing and disjointed. Email was a mess requiring one app for gmail and one app for your other mail. no slingobox or havaTv support among other disappointments.

Droid Eris onscreen keyboard caused too many typos (vs TP2/Imagio/WVGA)... seemed like it was poorly done with low resolution screen contributing... keys too narrow.

Droid Eris- if it had 2.1 and turn-by-turn preinstalled - and with some tweaking (disabling Sense, etc) is a decent cheap smartphone for a chick however.

There is no perfect smartphone or smartphone OS at this time. we all need to realize that.

FINALLY! - with Windows Phone 7 Series... we are taking accountability for the entire experience. That means you will not see layers, like HTC Sense or TouchFLO built on top of the UI by OEMs or MOs (mobile operators). - Aaron Woodman, Microsoft Director of Consumer Experiences
