ohh, and the freedom bit.. android isn't free. it comes with a cost; privacy. (although once rooted, the shackles can/could/have be(en) broken.)

1) The iPhone is linux/unix based. It is more efficient and uses its better hardware much better than WM could ever dream of. The processor is better (A4 looks to be MUCH better than the snapdragon especially if it uses the hummingbird cpu, which it looks as if it will). The only REAL competitor for the iPhone is Android. It can do most of the things WM and Android can do and some they can't.
Unlike WP7 iPhone OS4 can copy/paste, multitask, change the UI, give full access to the file-system (jailbroken), etc...
2) Agreed, Android's openness is a very high point, and as I do praise the iPhone for it being a worthy smartphone if you know how to use it as such, I honestly prefer Android for how much I can tweak it, mod it, hack it, etc...
3) How much Flash content do you actually browse on your phone, and how much of it isn't available in other formats?
As far as the thread goes, I tend to agree that WM is dying, and other than the novelty and utter difference of WP7 keeping me interested, there isn't a whole lot to be excited about.
