    We don't know your thoughts or intent dude! Nor can we see the expression on your face when you are typing. That's what emoticons(;):p:D) are for, or at the least something like "jk" or "lol". You gave nothing but plain, dry statement...

    Looking at the iPhone and the Nokia Lumia 900 side by side it's clear to me which one is the beautiful one. In terms of apps, I'll have to see about that, I can't really get past that hideous windows tiles on the Lumia 900, not its defunct design; it definitely looks better in any color but black.

    I'll be honest: I think iOS still has much more beautiful apps, and that's coming from someone who's used Windows Phone 7 ad their main phone for over a year now.

    I understood it was a joke and I didn't need any of those things....He's using an iPod and is on an iDevice forum obviously he's not serious.

    WP7 looks great, but the experience is also made by the feel and performance of the apps. Judging from various reviews of the Lumia 900 (most notably Josh Topolsky's), the apps simply don't perform as well as they should.

    Microsoft needs Windows Phone 8; they need to solve these problems now. I don't care how good the hardware is if it can't do what I need it to do smoothly. It's what drove me crazy with earlier versions of Android (note: I hated Android until Gingerbread, which I still didn't care for, and Android 4+ is the only version I will recommend), and it's what Google has fixed in ICS.

    Similarly, Google has started reigning in the whole UI conformity issue. Well over half of my apps use the ICS Holo style now with the Action Bar, swipe views/columns, stacked notifications, etc. I can't recall any consistency in Gingerbread.

    If every Android developed switched to the new layout, the Play Store would be a beautiful place. http://developer.android.com/design/index.html

    Glad Woz is finally speaking his mind, course it's eery he didn't start will Jobs passed away. But since Job's has passed Woz has praised open source and demonized closed source systems. Has praised Microsoft's interface over Iphone's. And his talk with Linus Torvalds (linux creator) was amazing.

    when Jobs, prone to violent outbursts was around Woz pretty much stayed on the downlow or parroted what Jobs said. Now It's finally great to have the real Woz back!

    He's been doing things this for a long time. This isn't new at all.
