but you have to understand that you are in the minority.
What you want in a phone isn't what the other 95% of users want. They want iPhones, they want simple, user-friendly, and apps (the 3 things winmo really lacks).
MS doesn't give a damn about flashing, modding, copy/paste, changing the UI, themes, or any of that stuff. MS cares about market share and profit, and millions of dollars spent on surveys and digging into what people want has birthed WP7.
The only thing they advertised about the HD2 was that it came with transformers, had a big screen, and was "fast"
Now with WP7 they actually advertise the OS, which they could never really do before. This thing is going to give them a better shot at getting some market share.
Why would I get WP7? It's simple, fast, efficient, integrated, great hardware, user-friendly.
You don't have to soft-reset every 4 seconds even on a stock ROM, there are actually supported apps in a centralized market place. It already has a netflix app fully working where they are trying to iron out the kinks in the Android version.
It is basically iOS repackaged and run more efficiently. What did Bill Gates do when Macs came out? Copied the awesome (at the time) UI and made it cheaper and more available. That's exactly what he's doing here.
We just need to realize that this is not made for US. Look how many iPhones are in the market right now. And most Android users don't even know how to move files onto their SD cards let alone root and flash.
