>I still have an old WIn 6.x device. The contract with my carrier expired over a year ago. I had been holding out for a new WP7 phone, but don't want to wait another 6-9 months for it to be on Verizon. I really don't want an Android device and don't want an iPhone. I would prefer a consumer phone rather than a business phone (Blackberry), so I'm stuck wondering where to go.

>>I am still a bit of a noob in the mobile market - and I have to admit, I REALLY like Android. It just plain works and works well. I'm still trying to understand the depth of the Android market - so far it seems a tad lighter than I initially assumed - but maybe I haven't come across all the big apps yet.


NO CDMA phone hasn't hurt the IPhone one bit. It is still growing. MS has to concentrate on 1 core market at a time to be sucessful.
