About time Microsoft got with the game.

UI looks pretty neat actually.

Assuming they don't screw it up royally and there's an alternative browser for it, it'll be on my next phone.

Haven't seen anything that makes me want that over an Android. By the time it comes out it'll be competing with iPhone OS 4. I'll stay my excitement until I see how it stacks up in 2011.

Yeah, I hope it spurs some good competition.

The mobile Office suite, proper integration with Exchange and not having to use iTunes are the draws for me.

Looks like they are building off of the Zune HD layout, which I've heard is quite nice to use. I wonder what impact this will have on the iPhone/Android market share?

Probably nothing at all. Symbian has the majority of the smartphone OS market, almost 50%, iPhone is way behind at around 10% and Windows is at around 7%.

I might not use it but its good for competition.

I do like the fact that you can get away from iTunes though.
