What do you think of Windows Phone 7?

Oh, I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish the same things with 7, that's not the issue. The issue is that I don't want to abandon all the familiar, well-loved programs that I've used since 2005. Also, I like the way 6.x is structured, I know it inside & out, and I don't wanna have to learn a new OS. I like having all the options that I do now with 6.x, I don't need/want a 'simplified' OS. This is why I keep saying they need to offer both 7 & 6.x.

All in all- I'm sure if I HAD to adapt, I could. But I like the way things are now, and I just hate being unnecessarily uprooted.

Kabuk... Tell me about your childhood...
Were you a happy child. How many schools did you attend? Military brat? LOL.
I know what you mean. I resist change too but I figure if this is where things are headed... So am I... I even signed up and got a facebook account and guess what? I found my long lost sister. I haven't seen her in about 20 years. Sometimes change is good. I'm looking forward to the second and third release already. lol

ohh ok. I follow you. But wouldn't you want a phone that can do the same amount of things in a much simpler way?

I understand the money invested in apps part.

then don't upgrade. they're going to have 6.x devices at the same time. you can continue to run your outdated apps into the ground. If what you're upset about is apps, then you should be happy because we're finally going to get some awesome ones. All the current good apps will likely be refreshed or ported over anyway.

I think the ui is unfinished. Everything will likely be spruced up. If you look at the zune hd ui and compare it to wp7, you can clearly see how unfinished wp7 really is... they just needed something to show or they would've been hammered by everyone. There's obviously a lot that wasn't mentioned or explained. There's going to be voice search, but they didn't show that off because it's not done. Did you see the dialer? it's very plain looking and obviously not done, which has to be why they didn't bother showing it. The xbox live hub was static too. One of the reps mentioned that when it's done it will be fully animated, almost like the xbox live experience. They had undeveloped placeholders throughout, so expect to see something different at the end of the year.
