Just like the cars, most people prefer automatic. Windows Mobile will have to do a lot to win back the lost crowd.

Just remember that most enthusiasts prefer driving sticks.

I've been operating my Omnia (which has no softkey or OK buttons) pretty much with my fingers since I got it 3+ months ago. Occasionally I'll use a stylus, and I do miss certain things with my fingers (icons in the title bar, scroll bars in drop-down lists, etc.), but it is possible.
As far as Windows Mobile improvements go, check out my Windows Mobile New Year's Resolutions. I have lots of ideas to improve the Windows Mobile experience.
