I've gone to Android smartphone myself (sporting a fine new t-mobile LG G2X) and one of the reasons was because no flash in WM7.

I suggest you consider finding a HTC HD2 to use - you can flash WM 6.x, WM7 and Android 2.x.x on it. Pretty cool you can set it up to dual boot so you can boot it into WM7 or Android Gingerbread. ... that's what I did, so I was able to play around with all the OS's without having to buy another phone. As matter of fact the only reason I even bought the LG G2X is because the HD2 doesn't have a front facing camera and I wanted to video chat! hahahaha. Anyway after several months of tinkering Android won.
Only thing that I liked better about WM7 is a) there is a netflix app you can get to stream videos to your phone and b) I was impressed with the way it handles contacts and lets you create meta-contacts. Pretty much everything else Android seems better.
