I must say it's very impressive.
I got my iPhone the day it came out 4 years ago and did not even bother to switch to Android. But when WP7 was announced I wanted to jump ship but was reluctant.
The announcement of 4S (instead of 5) and Siri exclusivity, really made the switch. I thought it was not a clever move by Apple - at least from my point of view.. but that's another story.
All, I have to say.. I'm glad I made that switch.
I told the ATT guy to let me turned the screen on for the first time (after reading how impressive the AMOLED screen is, I have to try it myself). And I'm floored. The live-tiles are so vibrant and impressively looking. The animation is slick. There are so many subtleties that you can't help yourself but appreciate Microsoft for taking the risk to not making another iPhone clone.
The interface is very intuitive. The action menu will always be within your reach and will always be at the same spot and you don't need to figure out where the thing is. The back button is the best since sliced bread. I first thought the back button was a silly idea but I'm so glad to be proven wrong.
I'm still using my iPhone just to communicate with my wife using Facetime (who's currently travelling to Asia). I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I can't help my self but to feel a bit ancient everytime I use my iPhone. (On a side note I hope they quickly bring in Skype to the Marketplace because Tango is subpar compared to Facetime - both the video and audio quality).
Anyway, I was born and grew up in Asia where Mango is probably the sweetest. Unfortunately I don't like Mango at all. But I will make a special exception for this particular Mango. I love it. I really do.
