During my N900 days I mess up with terminal with in build terminal.Lazy to ssh.
Worked well for me.

yea still loving my Nokia N900 keyboard. Not selling it

In a perfect world, windows phone plus meego swipe to me = win

lol, not a fan of using terminal via a small screen (regardless whether there's a physical kb lol, personal preference), so still a ssh fella here lol

I couldn't have said it any better

It is. App Store is about apps, come close or not, doesn't have anything to do with a better iPhone or not.
The concept and build of Windows Phone is just like iPhone.
Simplicity, Stability and Reliability.
Limitations and Restrictions, Controls; No access to storage, everything have to use their software to do (e.g. iTunes for iOS, Zune for Windows Phone; can you see the similarity? This is what iOS created, and now Windows Phone is the only OS that follows, but for a smartphone OS standard, this is just so not right)

Catching up or not, it's just a matter of time, for smartphone/experience users, this should be general understanding. All those you mentioned, is just what what iOS start, so there's no difference really; they fall in the same category, and to most users, many of those things doesn't matter, if it does, they would've go for Android or a proper smartphone. So, in general, Windows Phone is just like iPhone but better where it gives something that iOS still does not offer, such as the Social Networks Integration. In today's world, Social Network plays an important role apart from apps and games.

The Tiles is not a proper homescreen, but still something LIKE a homescreen, in essence, still better than iOS with APP MENU only. Homescreen and Desktop is different, homescreen is a proper screen for HOME, it doesn't have to be desktop like. How each OS design their own HOME it up to them, to Windows Phone, this is the HOME screen, but for iOS, the HOME itself is the FIRST PAGE or the APP MENU.

As for restrictions, I'd say both are LPPL, no need to go into details like ringtones, both s*cks; Jailbreak is a different matter, for Windows Phone, it may have its own jailbreak too.

I'm not insulting Apple, maybe you don't like Windows Phone. For me, I never like both, equally; I have iOS myself, but I wouldn't pay for an iPhone, when I can get an iPod Touch for almost 1/3 of iPhone price; In fact, I enjoy what it can do, 99% the apps/games that is, the animation is smoother and more interactive than Windows Phone, so if you say prefer, I would prefer iOS for it's graphics, Windows Phone is 2D, it's plain and ugly for me.
BUT to compare, both are the SAME, Windows Phone basically follow whatever/most iOS path, with all the restrictions, limitations. BUT, they do offer better things, like a homescreen, and the best yet, People Hub. Let's be honest, the People Hub is something special on the Windows Phone, although, it's not something NEW for people who owns Maemo/MeeGo.
In short, both are in the same category, Windows Phone simply offers "more" of what iPhone can offer. In Windows 8, there will be external storage support, by then, there will be even "more". It's just a matter of time and this is SOFTWARE not HARDWARE.

Got 2 is better than 1. Choice. There's certain things Virtual keyboard can't do and there's limitations.

Added on February 14, 2012, 10:23 amMeeGo will surely be a better option; It only lacks apps/games, mainly WhatsApp now. Else, it could've gain many customers/users.

As for now, Windows Phone 7.5 have much offerings and suit satisfy most "general" user. Honesly, those user's of iPhone hardly utilize their OS anyway. That's why I said (generally), Windows Phone is a better iPhone whereby it offers general users something "more" to them. It's just a matter of apps/games but as long the apps/games that they need are available, it would be able to meet their requirement/needs. (e.g. WhatsApp is available on Windows Phone, and more to come).
