Charlie Kindel takes a look at the Samsung Galaxy SII with Android--not impressed

Former General Manager of the Windows Phone Developer Ecosystem, Charlie Kindel, who recently left Microsoft,  won an Android-based Samsung Galaxy SII--arguably one of the best Android phones out on the market right now in terms of features and availability. In turn, he decided to post his thoughts on the device and perhaps more importantly, the OS itself.
Now lets be clear: Kindel is not pretending to be unbiased here. Working for Microsoft for 21 years and being key to the development of Windows Phone does not leave one impartial. Having said that, the man is no longer with Microsoft, has no vested interest in the success of Windows Phone and can say what he wants. (And anyone familiar with ex-Microsofties know, they often say some unabashedly awful things about the company, rarely pulling punches).  Knowing all of that though, Kindel's assessment is still at least interesting--he does know design, usability and certainly technology.
So what did he think? Well, he tends to really rip Android a lot in terms of UI, stability and battery life aka the usual reasons people get tired of Android. Even if you don't agree with his review, it's a fun read for a Sunday. To tease the piece, we'll just post his summary:

"A typical non-geek consumer would be absolutely-fraking-crazy to pick an Android phone over a Windows Phone. Windows Phone is vastly more refined, cohesive, and easy to use. Period."
"People who enjoy “managing” their phone might enjoy “managing” their Android smartphone. Those folks will probably forget how much fun “managing” a smartphone was after they’ve used Windows Phone for a while. Instead they’ll see how much fun it is to “use” a smartphone."
