perhaps the best iPhone clone in the market (gratz to MS for so perfect iOS3 copy). Unfortunatelly they included all iPhone disadvantages (even antenna deathgrip! - rofl), but skipped the only good thing - screen (resolution and quality). Hope WP8 will fix it.

Like others said,the phone's hardware can do much more but the os limitations are annoyng and useless.And the old htc hardware issues are here:audio not doing so great,camera shots lack detail and has anyone spotted the pinkish spot in the centre of the photos?

IMHO Samsung Galaxy S with Froyo (and lag fix) is still the king. It has everything you need (except the camera flash), but the competition lacks some important features too(either one or more of the following: front camera, Adobe Flash 10.1, removable battery, good screen, good UI, 720p at 30FPS recording, Open GL 2.0, etc).

What a waste of screen real estate to put such an inferior product into.I hope that the next generations of s-lcds can help to create a proper screen for these mini tablet phones.Interesting comment the reviewer makes about the antenna death grip dropping two bars....hmmm where have i heard that before.

these limitations are simply pathetic (especially the non-expandable memory limitation).

What jumps out at me are the WP7-specific limitations. Feels like buying a car, but the manufacturer forbids you from going on the highways. The phone can do things, but the OS doesn't allow it.
