The only feature you actually have that she cannot do (or iPhone4/latest BB) is the tight relationship to Live.. and on Android you can actually tie to Live in many ways via 3rd party apps. It will only continue to get better as MS has now opened up their framework for quick and easy traversal among WP7 and android/iOS. 4. Using either Amazon, Google's Music, or iTunes, you can keep all your media off your phone and use from anything else from any Android or iPhone, respectively. Hell, with Google Music I have my music also through my Ps3 or Wii. Can't do that with your Live based setup. 5. Samsung is awesome for tech (I love my Fascinate), however, I certainly hope their software upgrade policy is better than what the US Galaxy S phones had. Otherwise you'll be waiting for a year to get Mango. 7. Android = free or really cheap apps. WP7 and iOS = pay. |
Just a few things to add:
2. That flexibility comes with several disadvantages though, like decreased performance and stability.
3. You'll never have other platforms where you can get achievements that go into your Live account though. The user interface is also a big plus, and even one installed on an Android phone can't match the full integration found in WP7. The slickness and usability is one of the things that make WP7 stand out. 
4. Google Music seems like an odd comparison, since right now it's basically cloud storage for your already owned music.
5. Microsoft are strict enough with their update policy that all users ought to get their updates in the same time frame, regardless of the manufacturer.
7. Half the apps on WP7 are free, and another 20% have free trials. Make of it what you want.
