Why Do Are Need To Buy a Windows Phone 7 Phone?

We will be cheering for Microsoft on this one. They need a good mobile device in their lineup. But if you're ready to buy a Windows Phone 7 device on day one... why?

There are plenty of reasons to avoid a Windows Phone 7 unit—it's a first-generation product; it lacks some basic features like cut-and-paste (although that's coming); other mobile operating systems are more advanced—but we think we understand those differences pretty well.
