I currently have the Dell Venue Pro, prior to that, I had the HTC HD7S. Biggest drawbacks from post-Mango? Hmm...

The lack of Skype, the lack of quite a few apps that I miss, the browser is finally worth a damn, but it's still second rate, the way it handles multi-tasking isn't up to par with the N900, it's on par with Android... and honestly? The battery life on these phones isn't stellar. It's not bad, but I've had better.

The one-hand operation of the UI though, works in its favor. The email client is actually good as well - just doesn't mark read items via IMAP as read on the server, I find that WAY annoying.

Is it perfect? No. But a few live tile apps are great for glimpsing what I have for mail, for Google Analytics for my site(s), a few decent games, and it's quick to go into the camera (something I find awkward still on Android)...

I actually "like" WP7, but I can see the gaping holes in what's not there.
