Re: Whose getting it?

I'm still on the fence here. Wikipedia says the following about what Windows Phone 7 doesn't have compared to Windows Mobile 6.5:

Windows Phone 7 lacks some features that were found in earlier versions of Windows Mobile. Features that Microsoft claims will arrive in the near-future include cut, copy, and paste,[74] full multitasking for 3rd party apps,[75] and Adobe Flash.[76] Windows Phone 7 supports upgradable storage via an SD Card; however SD card memory is merged with the phone's internal storage, and changing the SD card causes the phone to reset to factory settings.[77][78] Windows Phone 7 does not support connecting to Wi-Fi (wireless) access points which are hidden[79] or have a static IP address,[80] tethering to a computer[81] (although it can be done via a hack on the Samsung Focus[82]), videocalling,[83] VoIP calling,[84] USB mass-storage,[85] universal email inbox,[85] universal search,[85] a system-wide file manager,[83] Bluetooth file transfers,[83] USSD messages,[86] or custom ringtones.[87]
Windows Phone 7 devices only support syncing with Exchange ActiveSync[88] over the network. There is no support for syncing with Exchange ActiveSync using a cable or cradle.
In the enterprise, Windows Phone 7 does not support Office documents with security permissions,[89] IPsec security,[90] on-device encryption,[91] strong passwords,[80] or internet sockets.[84] While the older Windows Mobile phones supported the full range of Microsoft Exchange Server policies, Windows Phone 7 only supports a small subset of Exchange features.[92] The Calendar app no longer has a 'Weekly' view.[80] The list of past phone calls is now a single list, and cannot be separated into inbound, outbound or missed calls.[80]

Has Microsoft gone overboard to match the Iphone and forgotten its business users?
