The more I look at it, the more it bothers me that Harmattan is as complete as it is with anemic funding but a passionate group that produced something that's pretty damn good... but feels incomplete.

Windows Phone 7, well... it's a basic restart by Microsoft that also feels incomplete. I have an N9, went on a trip overseas, made my way back to WP7 because of a few things that I actually missed - performance was not one of them, which Microsoft touts all of the time. It was a few apps that make my life simpler... Google Analytics via PhoneAnalytics, WhatsApp, (better system for) Browser Bookmarks... and a few other contact positives.

But I'm not your average user - neither are any of the TMO members. I actually dislike holding a phone to my ear, so bluetooth better be flawless. I can't say that for the N9. It didn't like my car stereo - which paired with my Android, iPhone and WP7 phones without incident. It would sometimes ring in my Bose Series 2 earpiece, sometimes it wouldn't.

The N9 would sometimes hang up if I put somebody on hold. WP7 sometimes would hang up when I was switching between calls (prior to Mango). The battery life on both aren't really something I'd write home to anybody about but I find that my WP7 is lesser than my N9 on heavy usage.

But back to my statement about not being a typical phone user. I've figured out that I want a simple phone experience. In, out, informed in a moment's glance. Both WP7 and Harmattan give me that. I miss the time and notifications on my screen. Hell, I miss double tapping my screen to wake it up - man, I've been tapping on my monitors, my Xoom and TouchPad tablets, hell... I think I double tapped my car stereo!

But WP7 is a pretty easy to use OS. Harmattan is an easy to use OS. But as it stands, there's just a few apps that I want that Harmattan doesn't have. That and Skype video - which WP7 doesn't have yet either.

The only thing that bothers me, I know I'll be going back to my N9 once PR1.2 comes out. But there will be no Skype video calling. Just video calling via other means. They get that, they have a killer app. Skype is just so well built-in.

Lumia 900 in the US... means that everybody will think that I will have one of those phones when honestly I have the N9. That also aggravates me.

Oh well...
