The truth is anybody waiting for WP7 is fooling themselves. Waiting for Microsoft to get WP7 mature enough with innovative features that people want and need are in for a very long wait. I remember waiting years for MS to address problems with their Bluetooth stack. History has shown that MS never seemed to care, they had a monopoly so there was never any need for them to do anything more than the bare minimum, for years MS has totally neglected the platform and their customers. The only thing that keeps people loyal to MS are peoples’ dependence on Outlook and exchange server.

The chances of MS developing an OS that has a user friendly interface with innovative features are slim to none. Actually I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see WP7’s user interface ultimately being a C prompt (C:>) and a stylus with the equipment manufactures having to apply a shell to make it usable.

The best people can hope for is that MS does a less than average job copying Apple and Google. It wasn’t until Apple’s success with the iphone, and later, the success Google had with Android, that MS even started putting any effort into their mobile OS. If MS wants my business in the future they have to earn it, I refuse to give MS the benefit of the doubt any longer. MS must do more than simply copy Apple and Google to win me over. For me, WP7 is dead on arrival, no copy & paste and no tethering equals NOWAY. As soon as I able to upgrade I am abandoning ship and going Android…..

Thanks for letting me vent, and have a great weekend everybody...
