 WP7 slow? not user friendly? unneeded animations? Phone confusing?  Whats with you and trolling these days?

All these things are the reasons most reviewers praise the WP7 OS as it does them well. If you said that it lacks some features iOS and android have, I may have believed you...

I have to disagree disolitude, there's a lot of user interface problems with the phone from the reviews I've read.

 

Probably the two biggest are the difficulty of getting to google maps and google search on the phone, compared to even my shitty smartphone that has them straight from the desktop/menu.

 

Additionally, If you own a mac it seems pretty clunky to get it to connect to a W7P, compared to iphone or android.

Sure, my droid came out a year before WP7, but thats one of the challenges Andoid has...not standardized hardware. One phone may be slugish while another is fast. WP7 is pretty much all the same experience.

Both Android and WP7 have standard hardware requirements that can be followed or exceeded.

PS: RIM is Research in Motion, as in the Blackberry. Significant in the U.S. (perhaps the U.K. and Canada as well?), but not as much in mainland Europe and Japan.
