Microsoft lost their minds, that's what happened, lol. They turned WinMo into a poor iPhone imitation. If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy an iPhone. I would not wait 3 years and then buy a crappy imitation.

Revisiting this thread, I see there are some ppl who have changed their tune remarkably since their militant days of bashing the old 6.1/6.5 ppl.

Might it be that the impending WP7 straight jacket is too straight for you all?

i said i was buying a wp7 but after the recent release notes, i'm not going anywhere near it.

I know... I noticed that...just giving you a hard time! LOL!
I just don't understand why ppl tend to buy on rumor & sell on fact.

I'm still excited for WP7! I'm the only one though....

No more having to build my own custom ROMs to remove all of the HTC crap and fix the issues with WM and then still have random weirdness....w00t!

android doesn't require custom roms and they still have usb hard drive, expandable memory, and COPY AND PASTE.

I've been using Android on my TP2 and know plenty of people who I've recommended Android to. Even though I use Google everything, I'm not a fan of Android. I think the UI leaves a lot to be desired. I hate the stupid menu button, I find it to be annoying. It slows down and needs to be reset sometimes just like WM.

I think WP7 has the best mobile UI out of all of the platforms right now. I don't use my phone as a thumb drive so that's not important to me. If I have 16+gigs of storage, I don't care about expandability. Copy and Paste isn't something I do so I won't miss it.

I hate the iPhone with a passion and iPhone UI > Metro UI..it doesn't get any more straight forward then an iPhone as far as UI

SPB Mobile Shell is the best mobile interface, by far. And it will be on Android in the near future, and not on Win Phone.

We'll see how you feel about that storage when you get a new phone and try to transfer all the stuff off your old phone, and your only means is by using a zune interface to "sync" it to your computer and then you have to get it to your new phone form there.

I would much rather just take out my storage card, and put it in my new phone, with the worse case scenario being I connect my new phone as a flash drive, and my old phone as a flash drive, and quickly transfer the files from one to the other.

I don't need some zune software telling me what I can and can't "sync" to and from my phone.

And if my storage card gets full, I want to have the option to buy a new storage card without buying a whole new phone.

It's funny how wrong you are. I already have a Zune....the Zune experience is excellent. It's only for media so that's the only reason you have to use it. All I have to do is plug in my phone, it'll suck down what I want from the Zune software. My contacts, texts, etc all sync to My Phone so when I login with my Live account, they'll all just appear on my phone as well.

Everything else from my TP2 doesn't/won't go to WP7 so no problem. Also, if you fill up your phone...delete some stuff from it. If people are so into hacking/modding/customizing their phones, surely they can do some simple tidying once in a while.

There's no reason to plug your phone into your computer anymore. That is entirely old fashioned like PalmOS and PocketPC. Embrace the future!

SPB is ugly and cluttered. I want simple and clean. I use Titanium right now but Metro is the perfect interface for me.
