    Like everything new, it is appealing for a while.

    I prefer the Windows Phone interface to Android and iOS too. Android 4.0/ICS looks interesting, but I still would go for a WP/Metro device, if I had to choose a phone right now.

    But its not new, as someone who has been using it for over a year, its only grown on me, not detracted.

    If anything the places where metro hasn't been applied with the spirit of the design pattern bugs me more, but those are becoming fewer and fewer.

    Oh and that the offline translator app only supports a couple of europeian languages, why not all it supports online, or is it a totally different approche they use, I duno, its my main bugbear!

    I agree, its all appealing for a while only. Whats will happen with windows 8 arriving, will windows phone 8 take this integration between the OSs to a better level? Still, apps are a rip off from MS

    Agree - in my case a £30 Alcatel OT800. Battery lasts for over a week between charges, Hardware keyboard, passable email client. Has replaced my Android ZTE BLade as primary phone as I can leave it switched on without micromanaging power all day or dashing between chargers. Someone somewhere forgot all these gizmos are meant to be used when you're away from home.
