For those saying how bad the previous Windows Phones were and as a result won't be looking at Windows Phone 7: This is a complete reboot. There is nothing of the old phone left, they wrote everything from the ground up again.
That said, at the Windows Phone 7 conference I was at last week it was very obvious that this is still very much a version 1 product (despite the name) from Microsoft. Usually, when it comes to Microsoft, it is better to wait until about version 3.
Will I be getting one? Maybe. I am a .NET developer and it would be the easiest phone for me to develop for, however, I'm also very happy with my Android phone that I have just now.
