#2... also it runs internet explorer bringing the pains of having to do non-standard web development hacks to the mobile world too. So from my very selfish perspective, I really hope, Windows Mobile will never really take off so that I don't have to really deal with Internet Explorer Mobile.

#4Intentionally provocative headline. He says it is a reasonable alternative if he had to switch but not good enough as it stands.

Wouldn't it be better to hope that it takes off so other better browsers are ported?

#6lol, what a blatant marketing stunt attempt. M$ is a dead company, at least until they fully embrace open-source and standards, mainly HTML5. (No-oh our software is too precious to be open-source herpa derp => remote-exploit-flaw-a-month)
What I am switching to from my iPhone 3GS, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. On the laptop side, there's still nothing (even close) to replace my MBP17", but I'm happy beyond description that I can escape from the iTunes hell.

Windows Phone 7 uses IE9 and that is a darned good browser.
I dont know what browser Windows Mobile uses but its irrelevant since Windows Phone 7 replaced it.

Huh? I've never heard this complaint before.
Windows Phone 7 may be missing features and apps; its stark styling may not be to everyone's liking; but at least it's fast. It flies on a 1GHz Snapdragon. The newer Qualcomm SOCs can only be faster.

#10I don't think apps have a major impact on purchasing factor for the general public. I would imagine that the most important web properties would already have Windows clients.
I feel the real reason is that the hardware so far has been really bland and nothing catches your attention. The Lumia has a fresh design that could kickstart the 'wow' factor.
