I have a Windows Phone 7 mobile

I wanted to try a Windows Phone 7 device because I would like to consider this platform, as an alternative, and perhaps a better alternative, for some of my clients.  In Australia, it does not have all the bells and whistles of the iPhone.  It does not have a cohesive ecosystem, as does the iPhone.  I have been let down with a couple of the main applications I use on my iPhone, not being available.  Short a music/video streaming service supported natively, is somewhat of a let down. 

I think the Apple infrastructure as a whole is a more compelling, well rounded solution.  That may go without saying, being that it is mature compared with the Microsoft solution, so we may have to reserve judgement further, and wait for release 3 (Tango?) and Nokia'sentry into the Windows Phone market.

It is painful to listen to US commentary on Windows Phone when the ecosystems differ wildly across countries and regions.  Apple definitely appears to have it together worldwide.

I want to believe....
