While I still carry a WinMo flag, I'm now an Android users..... but you have to admit, it sucks that a WinMo phone just doesn't work great outside of the box. It takes manufacturer UI mods, and user usability tweaks to make it livable. On of my few gripes.

My TP2 for instance, it didn't use the native WM 6.1 UI out of the box, it took TouchFlo3d to make it attractive. When WM 6.5 roms started leaking, not even the Zune like interface improved windows efforts.... but the new versions of HTC's sense certainly did. I flashed all the great roms to make the phone speedier (although I must admit, the stock rom was much better on the TP2 than the TP).

My Android phones didn't need any interface changes. For the most part it uses the stock UI + a few widgets, hardly what you would call modification.

To each his own though. I'm hoping that Microsoft learned their lesson and WM7 will become a real competitor. Apple caught them flat footed. And, although they are lagging behind Google, Apple, and RIM in user growth, WM has many redeeming qualities.
