Also, can't wait to be done with iTunes forever.
YES! The Zune software is so much nicer.
I love Zune but hate the old Zune devices (not the HD). Kept crashing and erasing stuff

I made the switch for a short while. Lost my iPhone on a ride at universal and that same night i bought a Focus online and had it overnight shipped to my house. Two days later they found my iPhone in perfect condition. I switched back and forth between my iPhone and Focus for a few days, but ultimately decided to keep the iPhone and resell the Focus because i was used to iOS and didnt want to learn a new phone, plus there were some features WP7 didnt do that i really missed having on my iPhone(even though some only came after jailbreaking). But every now and again i think about getting another WP7 and selling the iPhone.
P.S. Sorry for the long post and making everyone read so much.
People are going to get bored and switch around between every OS, it happens. However I think that Microsoft has a clear vision, and the amazing software support from MS will keep people interested in the platform.What'll be interesting is if, in a year or so's time, anyone switches away from WP7 because they're fed up of tiles. Right now it's a new thing and a different take. iOS has had the grid since day 1, and it's staleness isn't helped by a lot of Android handsets ripping iOS off and having virtually the same thing.
I've heard a lot of stories of the hard drives on the old brick zunes dying, stories of bad batteries, etc. That being said I have heard some bad things about the Zune HD as well, but nothing that makes the device any less compelling in my eyes. I would still own any Zune over an iPod, the Zune UI is so much nicer to use.I have the 80Gb one, never had a problem with it. My sister's HD has had more problems, including having to be replaced soon after we got it. The software is also buggier (having the wrong song titles and band names for certain songs). But they're both great, regardless.
That's pretty much my story too. And I'm a graphics guy as well. WP7 is elegant, the way OS X is for desktops computers.I saw a commercial for WP7 and immediately fell in love w/ the graphic look of the interface. As a graphic designer it won me over immediately. I went to the AT&T store and played w/ the phone and was sold.
I've left both Android and iOS and ended up here with WP7. I left Android because I found the OS to be too laggy and buggy.
Did you ever find a way to transfer all the old SMS/MMS from the iPhone to WinPhone 7?
I have my current 3GS for well over 2 years now. Hate to lose all my messages.![]()
