Thumbs down Windows Phone... IS IT?

I just don't get it...

Microsoft has the next:

Windows
Windows Mobile
Hotmail
Windows Live Services
Windows Phone
My phone
MS Exchange
IE Mobile

and still.... you cannot power on your windows phone... do the magic... and have all your live/hotmail data on it.... i just don't get it...

i know... you cand have emails and contacts.... BUT what about the rest...

- no more than 50 emails at once... no option to download the hole message...
- the sent mail are not saved on the phone (with the settings done right)
- adding a contact on the phone will stay only on the phone... if you would like it on live contacts... you have to do it manually... on the stock rom this ended in a error... i don't know with newer versions... but still...
- no photo contacts
- NO CALENDAR sync
- no upload to live services from the album.... HOW's THAT MS?... you have youtube, facebook... but not your own service?...
- no acces to skydrive... you cand do it for photos... but with a too simple interface.... facebook has much better integration with photos...
- MS My phone does it all regarding to syncing.... and that's it... why not interacting with the live corespondents?...


and others that i cannot remember...


BUT....

GMAIL can do Exchange
Facebook can do photo share
Youtube can do video share
Opera works way better than IE

and now... WHY DO THEY CALL IT WINDOWS PHONE???? it should be ANYBODY'S PHONE

all the MS competitors have much better integration on a MS platform than MS themselves

So... is there a chance will get this in the future?

This seems a bit of a rant, but it also seems something that Microsoft are certainly addressing with Windows Phone 7.

One minor note about Exchange though, is that there are no devices that implement the full and complete set of Exchange Activesync tricks, apart from Windows Phone. It is the best experience, when on a WP, and you get stuff like SMS syncing.
