I came from WP7, before that Android, before that iOS. And I can say that the functionality afforded to me via Harmattan is on par with WP7. They both swipe/gesture heavy UI's, but WP7 is a bit more refined in a few areas - namely how once I synced my Google Mail account with all of my contacts, I didn't have to open up/setup Mail for Exchange to grab the contacts separate from the mail like I did on the N9.

Minor difference. But on Android, it was rather seamless - big "no duh" moment there, I know - but the experience was better there. On iOS - forget about it.

WP7 isn't as bad as folks around here say. It's a phone for consumers that want a smartphone that has really dumb controls. Android is a smartphone that can be as complex or simple as you decide - I'm a custom ROM tweaking chump, most are not.

But it's seriously not for the folks here. Harmattan is quite intelligent. In fact, I'd say it's rather sharp, brilliant even. But still not fully fleshed out. Not yet.

And that's a damn shame. And worse... WP7 will only benefit from the Nokia engineers and the N9 won't get its chance.

People will buy what they think fits their workflow. WP7 fit mine somewhat closely, but I felt limited. N9, I'm learning how it fits into my workflow.

And so far, it's fitting pretty damn nicely...
