Makes your life easier if you are a Live user with WP7, but it makes your life easier if you are an iTunes user/have an Apple acount on the iPhone, and are a Googler (G-mail, etc.) with Android.

Wow, really? Wow. People who think like that haven't picked up a MS phone since WM5.
Hi Sven... I think you missed my point -- it's not that those of us who have actually picked and used the phone don't think it's simple and easy to use. It's that the MEDIA and the SALESPEOPLE have this perception that WP7 is geeky and not something regular people will want to use.

I totally agree -- Android is the ultimate 'geek' phone from what I've seen -- but it's still selling WAY MORE than WP7 and even exceeding iOS in some markets.

The problem is the sales force and the lack of product.
