I'll have to check out the Windows Phone 7. My guess is that it's
similar to the HTC HD2 with Windows 6.5 OS - beautiful to look at but
aggravating to use. My daughter didn't like it - she's the expert. I
tried it but rather use my Samsung Behold II with it's simpler interface
even though it has a less integrated look. In the end, it got passed
down to my son who seems to like it fine.

Nokia used to be a player but is in the little leagues these days. HTC
is pretty much dominating the smartphone market currently and without
their support, WinPhone7 would be would be dead in the water.

Microsoft has been telling us that stuff for years but I have no reason
to believe that Windows ever left DOS behind. You might say that I
mistrust MS.
