Default Windows Phone 7 - Android - iPhone

Now, battle it out...

I havent seen a good 3 way cage match for these so thought I would start one.

I just got a Windows Phone 7 and like it even though it has some missing or limiting features. But,,,,updates are coming in Feb.

So what's so good about Windows phone?

I always thought it's pretty similar to Android.

puts every contact in one hub, updates them to your windows live and vice versa.
Import outlook contacts (with a little effort and utility) , ease of integration with social neworking, email accounts.
Send pictures to sky drive.
Voice recognition for Bing searches.
With Zune integration, can sync songs , videos , pictures, pod casts to your PC wirelessly while its charging.
Like the last one a lot.


One of the weirdest quirks is , you can't customize your ringtone, got to choose a factory one for now.
Also can't upload videos to the web.

iPhone 4. Because it's easy to operate, rarely skips a beat, and works hand-in-hand with my MacBook Pro.

I hate technical bullshit and Verizon can suck my dick, so the iPhone is the obvious choice for me.

Lol Kolby, you summed it up. I have the iPhone 3G and am upgrading to the 4 very soon. Can't wait - I've been on the iPhone for almost two years and I'm sold on it. Love the thing.

There's just no going wrong with an iPhone. I had a 3G for a while that was given to me by my girlfriend-of-the-time's parents. Once we broke up I got the same Droid that my Dad had been rocking for about a month--BOTH of them ended up ******* up. I finally convinced my Dad to cancel Verizon and change over to AT&T simply for the iPhone. Best $700 of early cancellation fees ever spent...

Nope, it never fails to remind me, either. Goes wonderfully with iCal, too.
