Default Goodbye, WM

After 8 years with WM, I bought an iPhone on MON. It's not perfect -- sealed battery, no card slot, incomplete BT profile -- and I miss some of the software on my HTC handset. But...

1) This thing is generally much faster and smoother-operating than any WM handset I've ever seen -- including viewing HTML email and Office attachments on email.

2) The graphics and UI touches are beautiful.

3) It's cheaper than any WM handset with comparable specs, at least on my contract.

If MSFT can come out with something that matches the iPhone's strengths while besting its weaknesses, I'd consider switching back. But, given the glacial pace of WM imrovements over the last few years, I'm not holding my breath.
