Cons

No copy and paste, Tiny power button, Lack of variety in apps
Great touch-screen, awesome social phonebook, comprehensive support for webmail, some cool exclusive apps from LG, low price for WP7 Look and Feel...
Windows Phone 7 still rough, Gamble on whether Microsoft will catch up, Camera settings won't save, Camera has room to improve, Most bundled apps not really added value.
Uninspiring design. No easy way to switch between apps. No multi-tasking
Mediocre sound quality, Camera quality is not good
Generic LCD is a step behind Super screens, Awkward microUSB port cover, Smallish power button
Abysmal speakerphone, no 3rd party app multitasking or copy/paste, few applications available, no task switcher
