* how about cheap:android €60 on prepay v €380 for wp7, €460 for iphone. this is ireland so your country may vary.
* how about writing code on the device itself:symbian and android can do this. wp7? friendliness to gpl for me counts here to.
* how about battery life:this would be symbian where you can last days of heavy use. iphone and android barely last a day for me. wp7?
* how about the ability to run your own version of the os:cyanogen mod for android. this way i can remove all those preinstalled apps that i will never use.
i've used symbian since 2004 (loved), ios since iphone 3g (liked) and am now on android (meh). i've played with every version of wince/pocket pc/win mobile and all without fail have been woeful. microsoft has fouled their own nest before launching wp7. why would any one who tried any of those previous versions give the new one a chance?
i'm not the average consumer but many average consumers ask me for advice. these days i recommend fluffy v flexible. if they want a fluffy easy to use phone then get an iphone and if they want flexible then get android as there are so many choices they can find one that does precisely what they want.
