has anyone tried these in our car? i really really really like the focus and think it will be my next phone over my current iphone 3gs, though i'm not entirely convinced yet. i think if it didn't work in my bmw that would be a deal breaker. thanks for any help.

Eww Windows 7?!
Seriously. Are you sure? So far, every single one of my friends who tried Windows-based phones were extremely disappointed. Why not just get an iPhone 4?

i had the iphone 4 and returned it. call quality was terrible and reception the worst of any iphone i have owned thus far. in the 2 weeks i owned the iphone 4, i dropped 60% of my calls and more calls than i ever dropped with the 3g in 2 full years of use. i went from the iphone 3g to the iphone 4, then afterwards bought a 3gs on ebay. besides screen resolution and slightly quicker processing, there is virtually no difference in 3gs and 4.
I picked up a Motorola Milestone 2 (like the droid 2 but works on AT&T 3G). I can make calls again!

What applications are available for the Windows 7 phone? Will there be a open platform for developers to offer applications like the Iphone and and the Androids?

I have the ability to get a new phone. I have the Dell Streak now, Thinking of getting a smaller phone (4-4.3") for those days when the Streak is just too big.
Right now considering the captivate which is also a android.
I like the fact that most your info in stored in the 'cloud' so going back and forth from one android to the other should not be a problem.
Sorry I did not look too closely, is there a Google voice and gmail app?
