I dunno... its not that bad. True, they cant compete at this point with their rivals, but IMO WM7 could change that. I allways felt that it has way to few aplications when compared with Apple or Nokia ( still havent tried a Droid) and as someone esle mentioned it they are a bit slow.
On the hardware side... they where never that big. I remember heaving a MS keyboard back when I was like 8 or something... since then I barely saw any here...
