Windows Phone 7 Getting Mutli-Tasking, IE9, Twitter in 2011
Should we wait?
If you get one now, you might regret it because of the possibility of hardware and OS improvements leaving us in the dust without support. Probably not but it's happened with every other mobile OS.
We're still in the first generation of hardware, and it's a high-end spec, so it's too early in the lifecycle of the OS for the hardware to be fragmented like that.

No, they were very clear that all of these features are coming to ALL Windows Phones.

Plus, Microsoft has promised that when WM7 is updated, it'll be updated across ALL WM7 phones at the same time.

Well, yes and no. Not necessarily exactly the same time. Carriers do still have a say in the process; they must approve a major update (same deal with an Apple iOS update, actually.) Apple does a good job of making everyone think they're in control, but Microsoft isn't going to let an update be delayed if one carrier drags their feet on testing.
Thanks, Rich.
