If they make it really user friendly then I'll think about it, as long as they don't stray away from the point of it being a phone first.

User friendliness is exactly what they've aimed with WP7, and it's what I like so much about it. It's all about making your interactions with the phone easy and natural.

off topic but,

tbh, I think my next phone will be Android if anything, unless something else better comes along. iPhone works wonders after you jailbreak it, but Apple is still being dicks about flash which is the ONLY problem it has after you hack it. WP7 is another example of closed platform that's going to fuck me over one way or another. Though I'm sure most users won't even notice the difference since the percentage of power users vs regular consumers is very big.

I'd rather have security anyway, hopefully it doesn't turn developers off too much.
