You can boost your Gamerscore playing games on Windows Phone 7. It's a very nice interface and works flawlessly. It's going to get more and more popular too so while its app list isn't as big as Android it will be soon.

Cool and agreed it is going to grow in populatry . and I live the keybored and Japanese intergration looks as good as iOS to.

but but the only thing is I have no Xbox 360, since I prefer SONY for that stuff^^


Well that's an easy fix. Pick up a Xbox 360 along with your Windows Phone 7. Very soon you'll be able to play Halo and track your Halo career stats and monitor your friends with the new Halo Waypoint for WP7. I've heard you'll be able to even control your Xbox 360 soon with your phone, which is cool. Microsoft has plans to intergrate WP7 with Xbox 360 so the two devices will work together. Windows Phone 7 is kind of like Microsofts handheld game machine.  You really can't go wrong with an Xbox 360 or Windows Phone 7. Great games and a great phone.

I'd definitely pick WP7 over Android and iOS.

The key difference is the way things are organized. Android and iOS gives you apps for doing all your stuff, where WP7 tries to keep things integrated into logical hubs. All music you listen to can be controlled from the Music+Video Hub, regardless of where you're playing it from (same goes for videos), and People Hub contains all the information you need on your contacts in one place, rather than your phone contacts being in one place, your email contacts in another, facebook contacts ..., etc.

I'd take a WP7 phone for the interface alone.

I agree with this, the Metro UI is slick.

Go with Android, its open source, can do anything and everything, and fast, and i am not talking about pirating, i'm talking about everyday use, the others are just too closed and strict , so you will have to certain stuff to work on certain stuff.



Read through recommendations cautiously, I have noticed people who particularly favor the xbox will almost always have and recommend Windows phone. Maybe a Microsoft thing.

Anyway, I have an Android phone (Nexus S 2.3) and I can say that it is no doubt a great OS (Vanilla Android/Cyanogen Mod). Much like PullusPardus says on top^
I have used extensively many Android phones, the Iphone 4S and a few Windows phones, and they are all good OS

Therefore I can only offer 2 recommendations.
1) Wait for a fully detailed Android 4.0 review
2) Get out there and use these phones to see which one suites you best.

It's because as of right now the W7P is the best OS out there.

And if you really want android get the W7P anyways because you can dual boot a W7P with Android if you want...best of both worlds.

Yeah, it's just stupid users who don't get it so that handsets with windows logo on it are having less than 1% of market as of today. Lol, even Bada OS which nobody heard of among those boards is selling (twice?) better! Even the previous version of WP7, windows mobile 6.x is selling on par with the "best ever" mango-bango. And it's not like WP7 sales are demonstrating sign of future growth xD

Not mentioning the fact M$ is giving away those handsets wherever they can: buy xbox, get the phone! Even Nokia now is going to present bloggers and programmers with 100'000 devices of theirs in 2012Q1.

It's like saying "buy PC because you can run Wii/PS games there!". Not every WP7 devices out there allows booting Android from SD, and even then you'll be using not an official Android but just some port/mod of it from XDA developers or similar.
