I was looking at Windows Phone seriously the other day. The UI seems pretty nice, except for that bit about text running off the screen. I don't know why anyone would think not being able to read entire words is helpful. The default apps are really nice looking. Some of the apps made by other companies also look very nice. The foursquare app screenshots look super nice. I also find the xbox integration appealing. But if you take a close look at the app store, you see people griping about not getting updates, not getting features found on Android and iPhone apps. I couldn't find a decent task management app the quality of Things on iPhone or Astrid on Android. There's no Google Voice integration. If I wanted to make an app I would have to have a Windows computer, you can't do it on a VM. I think Windows Phone's app store is about where Google's Android Market was just as the original Droid was released. You would really, really want to have a Windows Phone to put up with the dismal app experience. Some people don't really install apps. I know some people who have owned iPhones since 2007 and have bought hardly any apps. I think people like that could switch to a Windows Phone and be pretty happy, but I don't think I could. Not until I can make apps on a Mac at the very least. Also you can't sideload apps the way you can on Android. It just doesn't seem like a better experience.
