    WP is steaming forward, and the epic and ever lasting battle for the best WP device is starting, leaving everyone else in the dust. Here is Samsungs version:

    It's like putting a Ford Fiesta engine in a Ferrari. :/

    And the engine would require 1 billion update before it would even start-up Not a huge fan of a WP.

    This is so true. At least the Android engine isn't half bad, I much rather prefer hybrids though:
    You know a Mexican (MeeGo) engine with Dalvik
    or the opposite an Android engine with fully implemented Twin-Turbo system, I mean C++/Qt.
    I could see myself settling for a HP engine with Dalvik, if the price is right!

    Given the choice if WP and Android when all else is equal, I would chose WP every time.

    It won't really be a Galaxy S 2 without the exynos chipset.

    I think I'd let Windows Phone 7 mature before I purchased a device. It definitely has potential, but it's not quite there yet.

    Exactly. People forget that WP7 isn't designed like Android, to run on any chipset. Or do you put it in the suggested hardware, or Microsoft won't license it.

    I fail to see a good reason why WP7 would be the OS of choice (in comparison to any OS). Id much rather go for symbia even (better browser though).

    large tiles and screens that dont fit on one screen...preference i suppose.

    Hehe reminds me of the old rule of thumb on MS products.

    Only get it after its been in the market for 6 months +, so you can then get the fully patched version
