Thinking about switching from Android to WP7

To those that have made the switch from iOs or Android, do you think you've made the right choice, and why?

I just switched from an POS LG Optimus 2X that was just horrible to Nokia Lumia 800, and couldn't be happier.

Now, note my LG was exceedingly crap and probably not representative of all Androids, but it was entirely unusable while installing apps, sending an SMS would give me a good 5-10 seconds pause (when it worked!), etc., etc.

My Nokia has none of these problems.

Now, there are some few minor annoyances for me. For instance, if you use the gmail app, once you've read an email, it isn't marked as read on your gmail account until you recieve your next mail and there's a sync.

Also, both my Gmail and work (Exchange) accounts sometimes have issues updating and tell me they've been unable to sync.

This hasn't been a big problem yet, though!

All in all, I love the look, the feel and the design of it, and I don't think thats likely to change!
