If I wanted an Android device, I would have clearly came out and said so, something I would never do because like I wrote, I think the the Andoid UX is crap. I never advocated for the Blackjack. I just said I was holding on to it a little longer until the WP7 mango update materilazed and the next refresh of devices appeared. I don't six months is not too long of a wait for me. When it comes to navigation, I would like to have the native Bing turn by turn navigation like the one found on Windows mobille 6.5 which is pretty good.

I really don't care that much about Windows mobile 6, and I would not wish it on anybody especially and average users who I always recommend to get WP7 devices. The Blackjack just buys me time until I get the WP7 update and device of my dreams (or as close as possible).

@theteerex
Although I don't have a device, I have played with a friend's for a good period of time and watched enough videos of the OS to have a pretty good picture of how the OS works. That is how I came up with the concept drawings because I DO know how the OS works.

@Keith

Like you said, the UI is innovative and nothing beats Xbox live. But I'm a big believer in delayed gratification, and I want a device with larger storage without being worried whether or not the SD cards will work, a HTML 5 capable browser that takes advatage of all the new capabilities of BIng and compatible websites, custom ringtones and such.

Those are all valid points. But, I have lived without them up to this point and I believe I can wait a few more months to have those features you mentioned together with the ones planned to be available in the fall that I care for more.

Pretty good comments for and against. What I'm amazed is people making comments claiming bashing the OS when I clearly said that I'm just delaying getting a device until the things I deem important to me make it to the OS. A lot of people are content with the OS as is. I'm not. what is so bad about that? The Samsung BlackJack I have has no modifications. I don't care about skins or tinkering with custom ROMS. I don't love it but it does most of the stuff I want it to albeit not well all the time. The reason I'm keeping it a little longer is akin to saving money to get what I really want (A WP7 device with the Mango update) and bigger storage, instead of settling for something right now that I don't necessarily like but will make do.
Are we at a point where we cannot talk about the shortcomings of the OS? I've written articles and come up with concepts that quite a few people like on what they would like to see in the OS. Why would I be spending all that time if I hated the OS that much? I love WP7 but the little things that I would love to see are not present and I'm lucky enough to have to have the chance wait out until it is upgraded to my liking. That doesn't stop me from advocating it to friends and family who need the phone right now and I know their use case scenarios would be fulfilled by a WP7 device.

The history tab does list all those items chronologically because once you tap on a particular item say calls, it takes you to the call history with that person showing calls from and to the person including missed calls. I Kept the What;s new tab for longer form notifications status from Facebook,, Windows Live, Photo sharing sites like Flickr. Basically stuff that you can comment on.

This would just be another way to check your history with a contact especially if you haven't talked to them in a while. instead of having to go to say the email inbox and search when the last time you emailed John smith , or when the last text your received from him. swiping to history saves you the time of having to dive into all those applications in one place.

When you go to the people hub and tap on a persons profile, this would be the page that would appear starting with the profile tab.
You are right the IM is based on linking chat with WLM
