I think reading some of the comments here it is almost like the console wars extend to anything Microsoft do. I would suggest before you slag off the WM7 you actually try and spend some time with it. I have found it to be very competent, some niggles for example the lack of a weekly calendar view and no out of office support but these points aside it is now my OS of choice even over Android. The first update is expected this month with some performance improvements and the obligatory Cut and Paste add on.

 

They really need to work on their business side of WM7. Its mindboggling that they have the user experience, and entertainment side down...but they kind of dropped the ball on the business side with the things you mentioned it lacks. It also doesn't have Microsoft Exchange integration yet...thats rediculous. Windows Mobile 1.0 had this...

Actually it does have EAS built in and for Email the phones are excellent, things like getting to a persons details from email are extremely easy. They have missed some aspects like the out of office but then we get Office 2010 and Sharepoint. Overall though I am happy to switch to this phone for my daily business use but hope they add the OOA in particular.
