Have used windows phone for over 2months and can say i like the layout and functionability better than droid or iToys. Of course there arent as many good apps yet but maybe soon?

It's odd that Microsoft is seemingly becoming an Apple clone, all the while employing the "Sony Strategy" (don't bother Googling that, I just made it up xD).

I've been hearing this from many users I deal with. I don't like 8 but for a phone or possibly tablet it is pretty easy to use and now put on top of it that you don't have to buy a new device but can upgrade your existing OS is a huge advantage over the other guys.
