windows 7: iphone series (2 steps forward, 3 steps back)

[skoobz]

WTF is going on? sure, some of the stuff i was happy to (FINALLY) hear was going to be incorparated: cap tscreen, zune intergration and xbox live. but the more i learn about its offerings, the more shittier it becomes. if i wanted a damn shitty locked down dumbphone aka the iphone, i'd get one by now (hell, EVEN FREE with no monthly charges you still won't see me looking stupid with an iphone)(my work let us chose our own phones, and 1 out of 5 chose and iphone, the rest of us carry a blackberry)

this new os from the peeps at redmond are pissing me off. no ext flash mem?!! no multi-task? no usb functionality? you have to put stuff on the phone through the zune software like what apple forces you to do with the itunes?!! my personal phone is a sprint touch pro2 and that is the best phone and when i heard all the cool stuff that the guy on stage was showing off, i was floored. now reality sets in and it's like the iphone.

i guess once the newness wears off and the tp2 starts getting long in the tooth, i guess my next phone will have the sould of a webos and if they aren't around, then i'll be carrying 2 blackberries.

there is hope though...it's called series so many all the great stuff we expect (hackability, functionality, customizity (that's not a word)) will be on the windows 7 starter edition. or something.

what about any of you? do you share my frustration and dissapointment at windows iphone series?
