I don't believe that one bit. You say you dropped an iPhone in a cup of tea?
Now, had you said..
You'd have been completely credible.
Best troll post in the thread
Lol, I didn't know they don't come out. What a stupid design :/
Well who wants to hear my quick review of the WP7 software? No one? Well i don't care what you say!
It's brilliant - no better way to phrase it really!
The integration with Facebook and Windows Live is great as i can see all my friends updates without having to go into Facebook.
E-Mail - is great, so easy to setup Gmail and Live Mail (took about 15 seconds to set up).
The UI - is soooooooo easy to use. I thought the huge tiles would annoy me but i actually quite like them, especially the people tile which provides a live stream of Facebook profile pictures.
Zune (Music & Videos) is easy to use and looks great.
Xbox Live - games are good, but expensive. I haven't bought one but have downloaded many trials and all the games looked great and had no game lag at all.
Marketplace - it's a bit of a barren wasteland at the moment so not many good apps to choose from (Also, apps are more expensive then Apple App store and are about equal to Android).
Umm, yea... that's about it.
It still needs work but it is v1.0 so it's not going to be perfect just yet as it's still missing some little features that most mobile users need.
Overall - 8/10
BUT
I have just bought an iPhone 4 32GB off eBay for £500. The only reason i've done this is because i love the iPhone due to the Apps and the App store has LOADS of them. I have about £150 worth of Apps and about £200 of music and videos and it seems a complete waste of money if i can't use them!
If i was new to the Smartphone market - i would choose the HD7 though.

There was no poopoo to clean off.
This has made this thread worthwhile
I pretty much agree with everything you said there, it does need work (mainly in the app store, along with things like copy paste) but it is a very under-rated piece of software! I think it offers (or it will offer with a couple of updates) a better and more user friendly phone experience than the iPhone.
The official thread for it is here just incase you missed it - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18186073

take it to bits. Dunk it all in that cleaning alcohol... then leave it on a shelf above a radiator for a week.
put it back together and away you go..
Why dunk it in the alcohol? because it will remove all the waters stains that will conduct electrisity.. DONT TURN IT ON

Genius.
I did this 2 weeks after getting my 3G at uni. At a bar pitcher in one hand, iPhone in the other, 'testiculating' away and then 'Plop'. God knows how I didn't even clik for about 4-5 seconds to see it top end down floating in my voddy and orange 
Propped up/ on the ice it was half submerged(sp).
Was still on and working but couldn't hear my friend on the other end of the phone so the speaker was bust. Spend about 30 minutes in the SU after realising how royally smashed I was. Phone on the radiator overnight and it worked the following morning. Became very temprimental 3-4 months later and was eventually replaced on the house insurance. Water damage sensors had been activated too.

Speaking of iphones, has anyone actually witnessed an iphone user using it as a...phone? Everybody seems to be tapping it instead of calling anyone while staring at its screen with passion for hours on end completely transfixed.
So don't worry OP, you can still use it as the status ornament that it's intended for!
