The battery life is probably related to the small batteries in these phones. I'm not sure why they did it, but the Surround only had a 1250 battery in it. The tiles are mostly updated via push, or a manual checking of the People hub (for facebook updates).

I don't like not having smart dialing either, but going to People and Search can be just as fast as going to Phone, Dialer, then searching.

Screen size varies between phones. I'm happy with the Surround's screen size, but I don't do much web surfing on it. The Evo is too big for me, even my Captivate was borderline, but everyone has their own opinions on screen sizes

It honestly took me about 2 weeks for WP7 to really grow on me, and now I like it and I'm not sure I could go back to Android...I definitely can't go back to WM. The only thing pulling me back to Android are the app choices really, but hopefully it'll grow fast with WP7.
