So let me get this straight - you think WP7 is better than Android? I suppose if you don't want to use any software on it it could be a close tie (or back it up apparently). I think you're searching for reasons that WP7 is better and not really doing a side-by-side comparison.
Much more features included in the Android OS
The Android OS is more customizable
More apps available in the Android OS
Look - zillions of apps for Android - just a few for WP7. taadaa! case closed. Sort of the reason I use Windows for my desktop instead of Unix.

http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/105884.aspx>But, he got some things wrong:
> - Microsoft decided against microSD support on Windows Phone 7 devices. Nope. Microsoft did not say that. It was a decision by the hardware manufacturers
> - Mobile hot spot. Did Andriod support this in version 1?
> - Market place. Comparing apples to chimpanzees. Android had a long time to ramp up and get apps into the store before WP7 came along. I agree that more android apps are added daily than WP7, but I have yet to look for a WP7 app that I want that I can't find, except one that I'm working on. But the same app is also missing from Android too..

>>OMG - just google Android vs. WP7 and see the 1000's of links.
>>
>>>How is Microsoft's phone OS and software seriously lagging behind?
>>
>>Cause it stinks compared.to Android (see above 1000's of links)
>>
>>>FYI, Android is in for a nasty legal fight. Oracle has already filed suit and now a consortium including Microsoft, Apple, RIM, and others has bought Nortel patents that Android infringes on. If forsee Android devices becoming much more expensive.
>>
>>yawwwwn. Another patent fight among the computer software big-wigs. Doesn't change the fact that the Android one is better.
>>
>>I will give one thing to Microsoft though - everyone is pretty much on the same version - which is a problem with the Android devices.
>>
>>I'm really really hoping that the new Windows 8 OS and Windows 8 Phone OS are good though - like I said before I'm a windows guy and I'd rather have a windows device - but it has a long way to go to catch up.
>>
>>>>You mean WP7.0? What happened to 6.5 and such?
>>>>
>>>>I just think that Android (which is now activating 500,000 a day) is vastly superior. Wish it wasn't the case as I'm a windows guy - but fact is Microsoft's phone OS and software is seriously lagging behind.
