Except it does have a lot in common with the Windows Phone, as I already said, plus a lot more.

Sure, the 7 phone has a different UI, and apps you can download, and higher specs for the phone. I can't think of much else that is different.

Do you guys really think that people are excited about Windows 7, much more than they were excited about the kin? At least the kin had its special niche, W7 phone is trying to take on giants like the iPhone, Android, whatever Nokia can pull out, revitablised Palm, Blackberry.
