Switched

I did it. Before me lies a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 Android powered smartphone. The Omnia 7 will stick around for a few more weeks until Mango is available and got its chance to prove whether Windows Phone can hold up against its competitors.

The two things I can already say: Android is more feature rich and offers a greater level of choice between apps, even system applications such as keyboard or mail, for literally all purposes conceivable. On the downside, Android feels incoherent and difficult to operate for the uninitiated, it is buggier, and it looks frolicky, if not to say muddled in places, thus providing much less of a streamlined user experience than Windows Phone. I love Android but picture my mother to founder on Android while readily mastering Windows Phone.

For the time being, Android offers a better trade-off between the good and the ugly for my intents and purposes, yet I can still picture me coming back to the interface grandeur of Windows Phone.
