I received the phone on Friday the
6th and as someone who has had Blackberry's, Windows Mobile (old versions),
several Android devices and even tried an iPhone for a while, this is the best
phone I have ever used.
The phone itself is solid, well built and has a great feel to it. The screen is a nice 4.3" inches which to me is the sweet spot. I think the iPhone's screen is a bit too small and some of those 4.7 inch screens just are a tad too big. My previous phone is a HTC Inspire which also has a 4.3 inch screen. Setup - A breeze!!! Email setup with my Corporate Exchange server was as simple as putting in my email address and password. Magically, everything started syncing, contacts, email, calendar, task, etc. I saved all of my photos from my old phone to a MS SkyDrive account. Log in to your Windows Live account on your phone and everything is there. Apps - Yes, the reports are true, there are less apps in the Windows Marketplace then on Google's or Apple's. Before deciding on giving this phone a chance I checked the Windows marketplace to see what apps I would miss if I did move. Your mileage may vary, and I recommend you do this as well before jumping into a Windows device. Check ESPN, Fourquare, CNN, and some other major apps. OS - I was absolutely surprised on how much I like this OS. The onscreen keyboard beats any keyboard I have used in Android and the iPhone.
Phone - Obviously, this is a phone so that functionality is important. I actually really liked my Inspire and I am a fan of HTC phones, but I found myself constantly dropping calls and lately it seemed to get worse. I also was doing hard resets on the phone every couple days (turning off, battery out) just to get things working again. The call quality is great. Speakerphone is loud, louder than the HTC which is great when driving. BlueTooth setup took seconds in my car and I was able to play Zune through BT onto the car audio system easily. Battery - Inspire - max 5 hours before it has to be charged, and this is typical of most android devices. The iPhone is a great phone, no denying that but for me, I prefer a larger screen, and until the iPhone 5 comes out with a larger screen, its just not for me. Would I recommend moving from an Android device to WP7 -- absolutely. Android has its strengths, but WP7 is more polished and faster and just works better.
This may be the phone that gives Microsoft and Nokia the push they need to become a contender.
4/10/2012 Edit: Took the phone off the charger around noon today and have used it moderately today (couple calls, facebook, twitter, streaming about 1hrs worth of music off Pandora, very few SMS messages, about 200 email messages and about 40 replies, WiFi radio on all day, but no connection so cell only).
