That's not really true though. I used the Windows 7 Phone -- I thought it was pretty good. I think the App market model in Win7 is far better than the app market model in Android. It can't promote number of apps but I use maybe 10 applications on my iPhone.

Integration with Xbox Live kicks the crap out of the iPhone and Android.

The user interface is pretty good and innovative. At least you can't accuse them of ripping Apple off.

Overall I think it's a pretty good phone offering. Personally I'm a happy iPhone user and I don't see myself switching anytime soon but I don't think spreading FUD is being intellectually honest.

This makes it sound like it is competing more against the PSP than iPhone or Android. I have maybe 3 games on my iPhone/iPad combined (well more, but those are for my child) because I didn't get either of these devices to game on.

EDIT: So I take it someone disagrees that Windows 7 is differentiating themselves by being more a gaming platform and thus competing closer to a PSP type device (e.g. a device that is primarily for games) than a smart phone?
