It seams Microsoft is feeling out the market to see who to copy. I wish they would stick to d-pads and one handed operation.
As an end user and a WinMo user since the days of the Velo I can say I've given up on WinMo and my next phone may be an iPhone, the 1st Apple product I will ever buy. I've played with my friends G1 and wasn't impressed. I was thinking the whole time my hacked WinMo is better than this.
I currently have an AT&T Tilt with a custom ROM because the default ROM from AT&T is abysmal. Even the dialer is useless. The Tilt is my favorite phone to date. I like the 2 buttons on the side and the jog wheel. I have been eying the Touch Pro 2 but @ $300 + memory I feel like I'm getting a better value with the iPhone. Also, Microsoft is already talking up WinMo 7 and from their track record over the years will abandon all hardware so my new Touch Pro 2 will be obsolete a few months later or won't take advantage of some totally new concept of licking your phone to make calls or something.
Also the apps just suck from an end user point of view. The reason I have stuck around with WinMo so long is because of Sling Player and Remote Desktop but those are available on other platforms now and are designed better. Evernote is a joke on WinMo but glorious on the iPhone.
Between headaches trying to sync music to the phone and weak apps and high pricing, I will be jumping ship for my next phone. Maybe Android will bring something compelling to the table but right now the iPhone is the one to beat.
