I also don't liked being locked into Windows Live & Bing. I am just so accustomed to Gmail & Google Search. I may hold out until some reviews are out, but my Xperia is crumbling in my hands as I said before...lol. I share your same sentiments. I also don’t liked being locked into Windows Live & Bing.

I've been using Windows Mobile in all its forms since PocktPC 2002 (PPC 2003, 2003SE, WM5, WM6, WM6.5, WM6.5.3). But WP7 breaks everything I liked about Windows Mobile: -Huge software catalogue (WM software won't run on WP7). -Wide range of personalization options: HTC TouchFlo, Spb Mobile Shell, Winterface, etc. You're not locked with the same homescreen "one-size-fits-all". -Open: you can install software downloaded from any source. -Desktop synchronization. This is all gone with WP7. So if I have to discard my old software and change the way I work with my PDA, I may as well change the OS it runs for one where I find the flexibility I require. And that's what I did. I can't say that it's been a smooth transition, I've lost some functionality, but gained some as well. Now I'm looking forward SpeeedReader on Android ;) . P.D.: I'm not saying WP7 is bad, with 9 months before release many things can happen. But as things are now, and seem likely to be in the near future, Android seems a safer choice.
