I probably should mention that I am currently using an iPhone 4s(promised I'd give the OS a fair shot); and after a little over two days of use, I am finding the iPhone doesnt have much to offer over WP7. A couple of things that stand out in the iPhone is the sense of refinement of their 3rd party apps(telenav has a very nice polished look, and runs much more fluid than its WP7 and android counterparts); and the android-esque notification slate is a really nifty way to deliver glanceable updates(I love how the weather and stock feed is on the ball). But the OS, as I see it, is really two steps behind WP7.5 and Android.
Just a sample of a few nagging differences:
-The menu system is quite unintuitive and vague
-I find myself wishing the back button was a dedicated key
-I am really dissapointed to learn how Podcasts do not self-update without a computer being present.
-The home screen is a mess!

In closing, I really think that if iPhone users(even some android guys) were to give WP a shot, I could see them selling off their iDevices and being content with WP7.5. I feel that Microsoft's lukewarm app collection is the only thing really keeping them from winning people over.

supposedly WP has 90% of the most wanted apps that android and iOS have either by being official or generic however alot of the things people get apps for are already in the OS.
