Have to disagree with that statement. Nothing can be as bad as Windows Mobile. Regardless of what phone platform I use in the future, because of past bad experiences with Windows Mobile I will be very reluctant to ever go back to them.
What are you disagreeing? People who used to own Windows Mobile phones now are on Android because they can treat it the same way.
You get a ROM and customize the crap out of it to your liking. I had to do that with my friend's G1 last month as I went through a tedious process of downgrading to 1.4, flashing a recovery manager (5 times since the cyan version didn't work), then flash a base, flash a radio, and finally flash the ROM (Super D) which apparently has a GTalk issue.
Then setup the SD card with apps2SD by partitioning it with a ext3 then FAT32 partitions and then customize the backgrounds/icons/launchers to your liking. Took me a whole afternoon to do that.
You use app closers because multitasking is poor and eats up battery life which is what also happened on Windows Mobile.
Android has a better base and support than Windows Mobile did.
I do a similar fashion with my Windows Mobile phone. I cooked my own ROM, flashed a base, flashed a radio, and flashed my ROM. Then I install apps to my liking and customize my backgrounds+ lockscreens.
Like I said earlier, I'll jump to Android Honeycomb if WP7 doesn't mature to my liking by then as it'll also depend what Sprint will do with its phones. At least with WP7 there is some hardware standards and GPU acceleration.
