Andoid is too fragmented. Windows Phone 7 has the same screen fluidity as an Iphone if not better, and also provides live updates to all major services like facebook and your emails. Blackeberry comes close. Facebook is actually integrated in the OS. Add on top Xbox, Zune and MS office and you have a winner. Android dies of battery failure too quickly cause the OS is hungry. Manufacturers also prefer not spending their own money on developing extra interfaces. for me the only question mark is the battery life, else i am buying tomorrow. The reason these mobiles are similar is because microsoft ask them to only provide the best hardware, so you know when you buy a windows 7 will be decent.

      Os 7 is the best in mobile os. But it design is not attractive and stylish. Understand the customers taste, as me prefer straight line , please make thin and sharp edges mobile as lg bl40.

        ive noticed that my local phone stores have only just one wp7 coming in the next few months,its not even been highlighted,its low key,kinda like wp 6.5 was,good for a little bit of variety but will be low popularity overall in the end. The pc geeks will love it i guess,the awful ui is right up that alley

          Connie, 12 Oct 2010The best things in life are free. In smart phone terms that... moreNot in gaming. Don't think that WP7 is going out without a fight. Seems that Android has the most to lose with the WP7 launch.

            The best things in life are free. In smart phone terms that refers to Google's Android. It is definitely the best and it is free. Difficult for the other also ran's to compete. Android is kicking ass and taking names.

              Android is going to face major pressure from WP7. Most average users can't really tell the differences between OSes and just look at hardware. With hardware coming from the same manufacturers, price will be a key differentiator.

                It will be a miracle if windows phone 7 succeed ,it is the worst and ugliest OS for a phone I've ever seen.

                    Interestingly the hardware profile is synonymous to each other, with the only major difference being the smaller screen size in HTC trophy in comparison. And OMNIA cannot get that old this sooner, as it was such a competitor with winmo 6.5 of his age, back then and and SAMSUNG has convincingly retained the trade name OMNIA in the latest WINDOWS 7 avatar.
