I Won a Samsung Galaxy S II – My Review | cek.log
From a WP7 user’s perspective (also don’t forget that he actually developed the WP7 platform). Not flattering at all.
Summary:
“A typical non-geek consumer would be absolutely-fraking-crazy to pick an Android phone over a Windows Phone. Windows Phone is vastly more refined, cohesive, and easy to use. Period.
People who enjoy “managing” their phone might enjoy “managing” their Android smartphone. Those folks will probably forget how much fun “managing” a smartphone was after they’ve used Windows Phone for a while. Instead they’ll see how much fun it is to “use” a smartphone.” -

Also, the fact that Amazon has based the Kindle Fire on Android 2.3 is going to guarantee even more headaches for developers (unless Amazon beats other OEMs to the ICS upgrade)
Interesting links (weekly)
