I guess ms was making a half-assed try with the new start menu, and 6.5.x has some finger friendly menus, but as soon as you dig much deeper than that (like into office applications), you have to pull the monkey stick out.
IMO, wm 7 looks like it exhibits the same old tradition of too little to late. In the videos that I have seen, it looks like they tried to come up with some kind of retro theme, and, from what I have heard, they locked the phone down (no more cabs) and made no provisions in the os system for external storage (sd cards).

When comparing the Evo to the HD2, the stylus argument kind of goes away, since both screens are capacitive. While they do make a stylus for capacitive screens, it's just like you would be touching that area with your finger. I don't believe they have pinpoint accuracy, like they do with resistive screens. I do kind of (read only kind of) miss the titanium home screen. I liked how you had access to your emails, texts, calendar, etc, all from the home screen. And you could scroll through them, right on the home screen, by swiping left, or right, without having to dive into the app itself, which I do agree, led you back to the crappy WM applications that the launcher so desperately tried to conceal. Sense was not something I liked in WM devices. When I had my mogul, I never used sense. It was always titanium only.
The only WP7 phone I know of right now to use non-sd card memory is one of the dell phones (I think). All the others appear to use micro-sd cards. Although, you must take your phone apart, and void your warranty, in order to replace them. So, non-replaceable memory is only a half-true statement.
