Wrong dude, I have it installed NO adverts! They were removed in an earlier version ( 'paid' version has been free for some time).
What features are missing that make iOS and 'droid better? Isn't this the issue?

I see. Well i have a droid and its way faster, smoother, pics open instantly, notifications (don't work on wm), photo tagging, sharing, fb messenger, etc. There's really no comparison. But, you're right it's the best for our phone

Toast and tile notifications work, tag and share, fb messenger is inbuilt in OS so why add to app?

Currently using the Incredible, but Windows Phone 7 seems really awesome. Microsoft says devices will be ready for the holidays on Verizon, and my wife just said Merry Christmas...so I wonder, should I?

It's hard for us to answer that question without a little information on how you use your phone. Personally I had to sacrifice some functionality coming from Windows Mobile but for me it's well worth it because the overall experience is so much better with WP7.
I really like the idea of xbox live gaming, netflix streaming, and office being built in. I do use exchange, want some form of tethering, like apps that use my camera for things like augmented reality and bar code scanning.
I have multiple gmail accounts, multiple live accounts, and work exchange. On Android I can have these all setup with active-sync.
This is just a sampling and given how young the platform is I would expect to give up some things I have return use too.

I highly recommend an HD7. They come with sound producing front grills at each end. There is a lot to like about WP7 but right now it is a little shy of features. That will change as time goes by.

Syncing all your various email over the cloud is no problem although you have to have a seperate tile for each account, no tethering yet except by hack only the lg phones have any sort of augmented reality - this is version 1 software - I like it and will stick with it but some features are missing
I have tried all three main phone OS's and even though there are a lot of missing features, I prefer Windows Phone 7.
What about DLNA streaming to my xbox? I'd like to browse and beam multimedia from my phone to my xbox. I don't want to navigate with my xbox. What about video?I hate that .3gp isn't supported by the xbox or ps 3. I thought I read that they shoot in wma right?

Wp7 uses activesync for hotmail and exchange, and google has google sync. It supports multiple activesync accounts. That isn't a factor. Activesync IS microsoft technology, you know.

Its really a nice gadget to have, fast smooth but you may feel the lack of some features which you are already familiar of. If you have the extra cash to burn then go for it, just dont expect WP7 to satisfy all your 'techy' needs.

battery life for me seems on par with my hd2, not great, not bad. Depends really on screen brightness and how much you use the device.

I think only the lg's have dlna streaming right now, seems like if one supports it, it shouldn't be that hard for all wp7 to support it down the road.

Yea if that's hat ur looking for.

Great news for HTC phones!
Can someone make it clear for me, why isent there a Official Youtube app?
because idiotic google didn't provide MS with the proper APIs needed to make a good YouTube app, they wanted to integrate it in the music+videos hub. to lighten things up a bit that MS YouTube app now opens to the new html5 page which works really well.

Hi all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?

Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

Official Twitter, despite having no tablet UI.
I'm very particular about twitter clients, I would be using Twica if it would show replies to somebody's tweet - which it doesn't. And a bunch of other clients don't show trending topics or look downright ugly.
Thanks for the replies, I am trying out TweetLanes!

TweetCaster Pro on my Galaxy Nexus had that functionality and I can't get it on the tablet. If I'm missing something please let me know.
I really wish there were more choices with TweetMarker support besides just that and Plume. Tweetbot is by far the iOS app I miss most on Android, I only hope something can compare eventually.

Scope, use it for tumblr and twitter.
Is there a Twitter client which synchronises your position in your timeline over multiple devices? For example, if I check my timeline on my phone I then have to remember how far I got when I later check it on my N7, and then repeat back and forth every time I use the other device.
Oh wow, nice - I missed that he updated his app for the N7!
Haven't tried it on my N7 but I like Ubersocial on my phone.

You're looking for TweetMarker support and so far your only two options are TweetCaster and Plume. Note that it has to be enabled in settings on both devices before it'll work.

You can't ask better than Google talk built in your android device, which is connected to Google hangout and YouTube. Meaning you can video chat up to 10 people at the same time from any device. Pc via android via iPhone, etc. Plus you can watch YouTube together and share screen view and make effects. Best of all you can talk from Wi-Fi and lte. Everything is interconnected.

I like sidecar for the "see what I see" functionality. Does the same thing as all the others with the added ability to share what your camera see with the person you are talking to so they can "see what you see". Its pretty awesome...to me at least
The point is that it should be INTEGRATED and one button use... if you have to fiddle with everything and only us nerds can use it then we will never use it with the people who we really want to see during a conversation
