Android, Apple no thanks for many personal reasons, but lo and behold here comes WP7 and I find out that for all practical purposes... it seems they are just copying apple and android

No multitasking
No Outlook sync
No Hot swap SD card support
No cut and paste
No File System Access
No real customizations
No backwards compatibility
H*ll the first one Ive seen for sprint doesnt even have dual cameras
No No No No NO is all they are giving...

So I mean seriously... WHY does anyone want WP7? Is there something good about it that I am missing and IM not talking about the hardware because they could have included that in any phone... WTF am I missing? What's the good?

No multitasking - Partial multitasking on this release.

No Outlook sync - This is release 1.0 of WP7... Give it time

No Hot swap SD card support- I don't kno what to tell you about this other than I have a 16gb card in my TP2 and have 4000 songs and several movies on it... Still have room. And still have room on the cloud

No cut and paste- on release 1.0 ( it's comming )

No File System Access - MEH?

No real customizations - It's release 1.0 give the devs some time.

No backwards compatibility - It's a NEW OS... Never before done...

No need for everyone to jump on the bandwagon right away...
I want it because I feel like I'm going to be part of a Beta testing team. Even though it's not labled beta... It might as well be.

Give it some time and this is going to be a very nice OS. At release date... It's a pretty good one.
