Really ? Even when the earlier versions of windows mobile sucked, MS actually handed out the developer tools and paid a lot of importance to third party apps - just as they did on the desktop. I know, having worked for a developer shop that actually developed applications for Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms. Social networking life is built into the new windows phone, and is getting extremely good reviews. It is said to seamless integrate with the contacts/photos etc, and provide a very usable interface to facebook. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2361374,00.asp - A range of big-name developers will be on board for the first apps, including game developers Electronic Arts and Glu Mobile, social networkers Seesmic and Foursquare, the AP, Pandora, Sling Media, and SPB Software. Providing evidence to support your claims might make them more believable. Right now it sounds like just an Apple/Android fanboy rant, that too one who does not actually know much about apps or integrating them into "social networking" life.

It would be unfair to say that "the old one sucked, so the new one must too". Neither have you given any reasons to substantiate / support your claim, nor have you tried to point out known/possible deficiencies in the new version. Instead of merely saying that you wanted to "share that experience", actually sharing that experience might have been a tad more useful.
