There are definitely a lot of choices for mobile phones today with even more on the way. I have developed and used many different phones and on different platforms. It all comes down to your requirements and then finding the OS and hardware that best supports your needs. If you are looking for a solution that will be around and is well supported then windows mobile wins hands down. The the launch of 6.5 recently and the announcement of the zune hd, I think you will see the type of apps and UI that you are seeking.

I would say the Wait for the Palm pre to come to the UK! That phone looks immence and is set for a June release in the States.
The new HTC looks pretty neat to (makers of G1) and looks like it will be fun to use. Saying that, the amount of games and applications the iPhone has is a really big draw.

I agree that WM make good phones and provide great Exchange support, but most of the apps for WM are not very interesting, useful or are geared towards business users.

It is quite funny to read “Android or iPhone, because these are where the action is” while until today there are more applications being released for Windows Mobile than for both of these platforms.

Maybe your WM phone is a corporate phone and you are not allowed to install anything on it, and this is your problem. However, just look around and you will see a world of applications.

The problem with WM applications is still price, due to the shops that sell them, which take 70% to themselves and leave only 30% for developers. I hope this will change with the WM marketplace.

Regarding the iPhone, the previous post says it all: it is for kids.

Regarding ANDROID, it is a great OS, but it still lacks applications, and I believe this is what you want. Additionally, ANDROID is being built to be the WM parallel by Google, so emphasis on both OSs will be the same and in the future we will see good consumer and business phones from both.

The iPhone is where the action is.

The iPhone has the best apps, the most games (more than Nintendo DS and Sony Playstation Portable combined), the best browser, and the best and most active developers (more than 35,000 apps and growing).

With iPhone 3.0, the possibilities for applications have become huge. The iPod interface on the iPhone will be the standard for many hardware interface devices – allowing new types of applications and hardware uses that won’t be available on other devices.

Of course, one can also get the iPod Touch if one doesn’t want to get a new cell phone.

Ask your kid which OS would he or she choose. You’ll get a simple answer: iPhone.

It’s got to be the Android OS. I mean, it’s made by Google, what else do you need?!
