so now we are picking on wp7 because of lack of LED notifications? jaja wow i dont think iOS has them presently either, and xbox live games run circles around any iOS game so who cares about some angry birds? and besides its coming anyway, wifi isnt always on because it runs more battery but i do think u need wifi to download the pushed updates.

ok so IE9 when it comes out in a year might be pretty decent, we'll see where the Android browser and Sarafi are.
The fact that Android is based of the linux kernel and iOS is based off unix is not relevant here, they are still better operating systems at the moment and for at least a couple of years. How does writing all of your code "from scratch" make things any better than basing it off of an efficient open-source operating system? WM6.x was WinCE based, and you're going to tell me it's the paragon of efficiency and a great user-end experience? Not if you're not a power user like we are, most people can't figure out heads or tails on a WM6.x phone.
Don't even try to tell me WP7 games can even approach the quantity or quality of iOS games, it's mostly just a bunch of puzzle games from what I can tell, every time I go in to marketplace to download a new game or two, they are not even on the same level as iOS games, and they don't run half as well on a 1ghz snapdragon as they do on a 600mhz apple chip (3GS) or a 900mhz A4 (iPhone 4).
MS admitted themselves that WP7 will be "beta" for 5 years before it gets to where they want. By that time Android will be on Pancake or something and iOS will be version 7 or 8 with all sorts of new features and phones, then we'll have to see what's really what.
the reason iOS doesn't have LED notifications is because iPhones don't have LEDs... makes it kinda hard don't ya think? It would be very easy to add it to iOS code when/if they put those blinking lights on their phones. WP7 devices DO have LEDs and the code obviously needs more work. I am not mad at MS for putting out a beta stage OS because the market is the ultimate beta tester, hell Cupcake came out with all sorts of goofy bugs.
The point here is that in a practical sense iOS and Android blow WP7 out of the water with features, phones, specs, market share, and popularity. I don't know a single person who owns a WP7 phones.
having said ALL of that, i enjoy running WP7 on my phone and do like the good things about it that iOS and Android don't currently have, it's just that because it's a new-born it's bug ridden, not as "secure" as MS would like you to believe, and lacking a few essential features. And because the 7008 update was an epic failure, they pushed the damn NoDo update back again to make sure they don't brick anyones phone. Who the hell knows when Mango will actually get released.
