Yawn, d reason is to have a lock solid controlled platform.Test d waters, gage customer feedback, add/ajust/adapt.D reason is to avoid what cuased 6.5 to be a problem to some, where men installing shit apps, dat max out CPU etc. Basically to avoid what happenign with android right now. and ive already posted many articles in dis thread, relating to both batt life, and d current retarded state of d android OS. If u want go back and read, i not finding/reposting.MS choose to take a core experince and perfect it, do it better dan anybody else. And IMO dey suceed, browsing d web, listenign to music, Email, Sharepoint, Speed, Slickness, FB Integration, etc etc etc, are d BEST! on wp7 dan any other platform. Dat was MS orignal goal. Dey suceed, now, slowly expand whiles still retaining d core solid experience.So 5 years down d raod, it wont be just another 6.5 with ah facelift with shitlaod of issues. Like android is and faster becoming.http://pocketnow.com/android/editorial-androids-flawDis is juss one of many many examples, of what happening to android, which is what happen to 6.5, which is what MS trying to avoid with their strategy, and which made apple Numero UNO!If u still need more explanation than dat, den i doh know what to say again lol.
Lets not forget that you CANNOT take that wp7 install on hd2 to use the online features that 'better than anybody else'. So what you have is the ability to place and end calls...in style.
