I'd prefer a Windows phone to an iPhone anyday.

I'm not holding my breath for this one, Mitch.  I know it's only been snippets of prototypes, but what I've seen of WinMo7 hasn't impressed, and I just hate that home screen!

I have to admit, even though I had no intention of owning one, the iPhone 4 is an amazing bit of kit compared to the 5 year old Sony Ericsson steam driven thing I was using.

Initially I wasn't at all impressed with the aerial issue which was a huge problem for me but the free case seems to have sorted that one out.
