I am a recent convert to a Windows 7 phone from an Iphone and am loving it. Lists like this one all over the web helped me to avoid the Iphone hype and come over to a real platform. Thanks.

So far, I only saw one major development, which is better than all the phones out there;
Sync over Wifi.

The rest, well, is just an improvement not an innovation.

A very good development!

But.

The worst thing about liking or not liking is that it will be on the market in one year. Waiting until december.. And that’s too late at that time to make a difference with the new iphone and Android, Google.

[...] According to MSFTKitchen, Microsoft has told manufacturers to not install their own user interfaces and keep the original – dubbed "Metro". As well, they have also told manufacturers to not put in any backwards compatibility with the Windows Mobile series – so those apps on the old one, not going to work (and it might be for the greater good).

Something that I like so far is the mandated hardware spec. This is good for end users and developers, because there will be no guesswork.

I really think that the developer features are going to be the star here. It seems that with a lot of smartphone vendors, the developer experience is an afterthought. However, Microsoft has a good track record of providing a greate end-to-end developer experience. Mix is going to be pretty cool.

very good! I like it very much, it’s elegant and a nice new concept.
I always hope that MS will produce a Zune phone of their own with MS brand and not HTC or others.
Hoping for the silverlight support, in and out of browser!
I think the reason of the unsupport of Adobe Flash is built in Silverlight technology.

I think that there are still many ‘secret’ features which will be revealed in due time – to keep the anticipation and to fight with new features of iphone os 4.0 and newer versions of android. I still think that things like multitask, myphone support, games, 3rd party apps won’t be left out and they will surprise us even more cause even though at the beginning I wasn’t impressed with what they shown but now after few hours I’m very impressed and I’m waiting to see some real devices like k01 running WP7.
Hopefully every WP7 device will have HDMI to output zune videos to big screen like zuneHD does, besides using browser on 720p screen with bluetooth mouse and keyboard would be great
