Re: Now that it's released, is WP7 worth it?
I completely agree with MikeElGiga23. Its a VERY good base for a 1.0 OS IMO. I can see it growing fast if MS keeps up with updates and features like Android/Apple. Having them in control of updates should help with this HUGELY.

With that being said, the productivity of a smartphone isn't really there yet. There's not a variety of apps like Android/Apple have, but its slowly getting there. Like I said earlier, there's a few that I miss from Android that I used everyday. Turn by turn nav is one thing. I have a dedicated GPS unit, but I don't carry it with me everywhere. This weekend I was out of town and was going to grab my phone for GPS, then I remembered I didn't have my Android phone with me. I was able to use Bing Maps to get directions, just not turn-by-turn spoken ones.
