Back to discussion!

Personally I'd take an iPhone 4 over an arrive because:

1) Better battery life
battery is replaceable ,lasts as long as I need it to

2) Fully working/integrated 3rd party multitasking
coming as soon as developers release apps for multitasking, I couldn't get this to work on my nephews iTouch or on my cousins iPad2
3) More/better apps
because the iPhone isn't alive until an app is opened making it just an app launcher
4) Jailbreak scene (themes, better UI, settings, tweaks)
wp7 has this too but I dont really care for it as I like my device as is out of the box
5) Screen resolution
WVGA is adequate for most things out and not many things may support the higher resolution
6) personally i HATE hardware keyboards
dont use mine,only took it because its the only wp7 from sprint at the moment. software keyboard is much more accurate too, corrects all my mistakes so I rarely have to use the del key or enter full words

7) Folders
wp7 mango has jumplist and live tiles
8 Tethering
available in wp7 via hack but I don't care for it because my sprint speeds are currently shit
9) change wallpaper
wallpaper can be changed in lockscreen and can adjust according to artist playing
10) better gpu
games dont perform any better than they do on my arrive ,still renders html5 with higher framerate
11) basically the OS is more stable and not at all buggy. Mango RTM will be very close to this but I would much rather rock iOS5 personally.

dont know how it is on your HD2 but my arrive runs circles around my nephews iTouch before and after mango. iOS5 is copying mango verbatim but yet apple sues others for copying them or even using the word apple

Having said that I'd take my HD2 over both phones any day of the week (and twice on Thursday) but that's just me.
