I think that this article basically his the nail on the head in most respects. I agree with his complaints as well as his thoughts on why it's good. I currently own a WP7 device but am looking to pick up a 920 or 8X in February when I get an upgrade available.

In the end I think he really nails it in the last paragraph: overall this is a solid offering that is hindered by lack of apps which is due to a lack of consumers (...which is largely due to a lack of apps?). If more people take the plunge, then the apps will come and this will become a non issue.

Time will tell, I guess!
