To those that have already written off Windows phones as failures, have you used one? What are we basing their premature demise on?

I think MS has an opportunity with Windows 8 to get people committed to their ecosystem. You'll pry my MacBook and iPad out of my cold, dead hands, but I'd ditch my iPhone for a new Android phone in a second if it weren't so darned convenient to use in conjunction with the other two gadgets.

I quite like the user experience on the Lumia 900. Windows Phone 7 might be the most complete out-of-box mobile operating system, with native Facebook integration and MS Office baked in.

The smartphone market is a very big pie...
