Why did you choose W7 over Android ?

[JohnMcD348]

I simply chose it since the phone was free. I had a TP2 and began having trouble with it after owning it just after the first year. I payed a few times to get replacements since I didn't carry the coverage insurance and it was 1 hardware issue after another. Finally, they offered to exchange me up to a new Arrive phone w/ WP7 on it. I figured I'd give it a try for a few more months until my upgrade path came open and then I'd decide whether to stay Windows or go Droid. So far, for me, the jury is still out. I'm waiting to see what happens with the platform later this year and whether MS really puts any significant support and input into it or leaves it to flounder.

yea they aren't going to leave it to flounder. the experience in WP Mango is better than anything Android can offer (tho there will be some android supremacists that will disagree and flame over this statement).

I do agree it will not flounder. WP7 is coming together MUCH faster than I thought it would. After Mango RTM, it will really be a force to be reckoned with.

I don't agree with the second statement, but also not going to say Android is unequivocally better. they are very different and it's really a matter of preference after Mango. I prefer Android, but for a lot of people WP7 is a better choice. I find myself booting into WP7 for some games/apps and the overall UI at times, then rebooting back to Android for some other things. After I flash 7720 I will probably use them 50/50
