However I've grown weary of:
1. Sluggish Screens
2. The number of soft resets required every week
3. The pitiful state of Windows market place
4. The necessity of spending hours finding the right programs to tweak the phone
5. The number of hard resets necessary and the hours spent bring the phone back

I probably could go on, but those reasons are enough for me to move on next summer to Android. Rather than learn the lessons from Android WM7 seeks to give users less control rather than more control modifying the system and using 3rd party applications.
For it's lousy browsers alone, WM deserves to become irrelevant as Android matures.

So what??

Why is waiting until Android grows up a little & actually does all the functions you have today in WM a bad thing??

Hey redd...
You think people aren't developing because they don't want to develop for the platform... Or because they will be developing something totally different as soon as wp7 comes out so why waste time developing for an OS that will no longer be supported by Microsoft due to the new OS?
Why do you think we don't have an official Pandora app for Windows 6x but they already announced the one for wp7?
New phone with new OS new development once phone is out.
Just my thoughts.

What really cracks me up is, for the last six months everybody has been raving about the awesome TP2 hardware keyboard (legitimately so)

Now, all of a sudden we don't need a hardware KB anymore?? What happened, did everybody give up texting so they could buy a shiny new phone LOL (that in its current state has less functionality than a Windows phone)....

+1 on this. Withg WP7 not using the .NETCF it's not just a simple switch to code verything over to WP7. Devs are gonna have a hard time justifying hours spent into WM6 with only a couple more WM6 devices going to be released. Plus everyones either switching to WP7, Droid, or iPhone.



Everyone gets the "Joneses" bug and wants to jump to whats cool. I've already seen a couple ppl with EVOs switching back to their TP2s. Give it a couple months and the forum will be packed with threads about "Upgrading their EVO to a WP7 phone". It just is what it is. The way our culture has programmed us. But thats another thread...
