The gHacks Windows Phone 7 Review, Pt 5 – The Verdict

So the time has come!  I’ve had my HTC Mozart review handset for a week now and I’ve written here about various aspects of Microsoft’s new smartphone operating system.

If you missed any of the previous parts of this review, you can catch up with them here…

Windows Phone 7 Review, Part 1 – Unboxing
Windows Phone 7 Review, Part 2 – Setup & The OS in General
Windows Phone 7 Review, Part 3 – The Main Apps
Windows Phone 7 Review, Part 4 – Living with Windows Phone

But the time has finally come for a verdict on the OS and my recommendation on whether you should actually buy one.

Now I’d like to think that I’ve praised Windows Phone 7 where it deserved it, and criticised it where it didn’t deserve any.  One thing is very clear and this is that Windows Phone is 7 a version 1 product.  The mistakes and problems that exist are all minor, Microsoft have released a much more polished OS than Apple managed with the first iPhone, and I would expect some of these problems to be fixed early in the new year and the rest by the end of 2011.  e can be certain that, for the next year at least, updates to this phone will be regular and frequent.

For the last part of this review I want to focus on switching to Windows Phone for owners of various different mobile phone operating systems and handset types.
