Aside from the usability/ergonomics issues, the esthetics seem off. But that's a purely subjective thing.
I HATED the Zune UI, and although I have not tried WP7 in person, I have to say the UI is FUGLY.
My opinion, of course, may change, after playing with the WP7 personally. Who knows, anything's possible.
WP7 has 3 major fails right now: no copy / paste, no multi-tasking, and not able to swap SD cards unless you wipe the phone and start fresh again.
FAIL FAIL FAIL
The first ones on WP7 of course will be happy as a pig, loving being guinea pigs for crapola OS verson 1, and profess undying love for it.
Just like Windows versions where I don't jump onboard until service pack 1, I'll be staying far far away from WP7 until at least revision 1. But I can never see myself using WP7 over Android, or even the lowly iPhone.
