Windows Phone Revisited

So I wandered into a phone store to play with Windows Phone again. No one was in line of course. Liked the thin clean font and unique paging animations. Nice vivid colors.

But the main screen's square tiles seem a bit odd. But if you use icons like everyone else I'm sure Apple will sue.

Minor complain 1: This is a PHONE, but you have to press quite a few clicks to get to the dial pad.
Minor complain 2: The calculator app has no scientific functions?

I think the best feature will be tight integration with Microsoft Office. Other phones may be able to do that but Microsoft can probably do this better.

Lack of apps is going to hurt Microsoft. Idea: someone write a code converter that convert other apps's native Java code (or Objective C) to Microsoft?
