It mirrors almost EVERYTHING about it. From the push notifications to the jacked up non expandable memory to the closed file system. They basically took a carbon copy of IOS and changed the interface to tiles and called it WP7. I mean you void your warranty by just changing the SD card for goodness sakes.. that has apple written ALL over it. Why do you think they'd go from winmo which was a pretty complex OS to an OS thats basically as locked down as fort knox? And ive toyed around with wp7 and im curious as to which areas it outshines IOS in. With everything being done via the "cloud" what happens when you're in a jacked up service area?

That's why I'm not with ATT. Besides... I believe that jacked up service is almost exclusive to iPhone.

I can tell you that's true. I'll admit that 3G coverage is poor compared to Verizon and Sprint since its not available on their whole network, but EDGE coverage has been available everywhere I go.

I'm at my mom's house now and the Surround is actually getting service here. My sister and bro-in-law have iPhones and they don't get any service here. I've brought the Nexus One, Captivate, Fuze (Touch Pro) here and they didn't work as well as the Surround is so far. The only one that is on-par was my Nokia E71, so that's saying quite a lot for reception for the Surround.

I'm out in the middle of nowhere in the hills in Missouri, atleast 30 minutes from any town too.

As far as battery life goes, its about the same as any other smartphone I've had. I charge it every night and so far its lasted me all day with moderate usage.

You are comparing things that are similar but because I use both devices it is my opinion that WP7 is way smoother. I use the Focus and the screen is more responsive then the ip4. If you use one and compare it side by side you will see the live tiles are awesome and Facebook is by far the best of all OS.
