Actually, I would have strongly considered WP7. My only issues with the current line-up of devices is the lack of backwards compatibility with WM. There is no reason that MS had to do this, as the basis for WP7 (Windows CE) is still at the heart, and a compatibility layer wouldn't have been too hard (just saying......)
MS has done a lot right this go around. The hardware standardization (including video and CPU requirements) is something that has been strongly needed to compete with iOS and Android devices. From what I have seen, it is elegant and MS is not going to make owners by a new device (cough*** Apple ****cough) to get multi-tasking.
It just seems that VZW is not going to give it a fair shake, and now that the iPhone is available..... It may be too little too late when they come out.
Thanks!
