This really is a big deal. MS has needed a major OS refresh for nearly two years now (arguably more). There was a lot of pent up anticipation among people who have been waiting for the next MS OS. It's not about waiting another 6 months. It's about the fact that these people have already waited 2 years!

I've been a WM user for 3 years, and I'm more than sick of it. In fairness, I already decided some time ago that my next phone would almost certainly be Android, though I do see some promise in WP7. I hadn't totally ruled it out, but even before this announcement I wasn't sure I could wait for it to arrive. I want a new phone now. My upgrade just hit, and now I'm just waiting another 2 weeks for SERO premium. (Even that extra month has been agonizing, but I'm cheap enough to do it.) There is absolutely no way that I'm waiting.
