I'd say about one in fifteen posts about switching platforms mentioned interest in Windows 7, myself included. Will I be switching? Depends on if my current service gets worse. My S2 is fine, but useless without a network. So if Verizon can't do anything and RIM won't, then I want some alternatives, and not just Android.

You're complaining about Verizon's network?

BIS actually. For the past month data just doesn't work right, and it doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or 3G. Verizon can usually get things working for a few days, but then something different starts happening. Verizon offered a Android replacement but I turned it down.
