    Everyone's talking about what an iOS can do and an Android can do...here is a thread where we write about something that only a Windows Phone can do and others can't...

    Lets start with FB and Twitter's integration.

    I don't think any other OS has this...

    They "have" it but it's not individualized on other platforms. I can make individual or group tiles with contacts to see their feeds only whereas on android or ios, you can go to someone's contact info and see their activity, but it's an inconvenience to have to to each contact you follow closely
    I own an LG Optimus G but the majority of my posts are on WPCentral. Go figure

    With WP the lock screen music controls work with third party music apps such as slacker and iheartradio. This is something I really with my android could do.

    This will be rather short list.

    Anyway.. :

    WP organises all apps by alphabet. This makes browsing very easy and efficient.

    Allthough I think it should also have some kind of file explorer to keep track of files and folders. But this is a feature only WP has, so it can be added to this list.

    cheers

    ICS has this. At least on my bionic. I agree it is a nice feature.

    I'll have to double check. My rezound has lockscreen music controls, but I don't think it does anything with streaming music.

    I can't make the lockscreen music controls appear with Slacker or iheartradio on my rezound (ics). Works fine with music stored on my phone.

    How can we forget , the lovely Zune music player. Amazing backgrounds of the artists playing.

    Though, I might add two things here.
    1. Now with an application called Ubermusic u can achieve the same thing on Android devices.
    2. Zune usually got my artists wrong. I've complained on MS forums several times about this, to no avail.

    Nonetheless its a kick *** feature.

    25GB/7GB of cloud storage FREE for photos, videos, docs. In future for backups, games and apps. Who needs a SD card? :)

    App-link!

    My photos app can talk to my integrated Facebook and Twitter and bring those pics right inside my photos app.

    My music app can talk my lyrics app and can get me lyrics for the song I love right from inside my app.

    My Office app can talk to my SkyDrive and bring me my documents from the cloud when I want them.

    My picture hub can also talk to my photo editing apps like fhotoroom and thumba photo editor to let me edit pics without having to close my pictures hub.

    Dedicated camera button that launches my camera even without unlocking my phone! - and that gets upload straight away to Skydrive without me even having to worry about it.

    I love the fact that when I yank my headphones out it auto-pauses the music. :D

    That came in handy the other day when I downloaded my work schedule from Skydrive and checked my hours using excel. ;)

    Can it do SmartDJ which mixes songs from the library and market? Can it cue up songs right from the market on demand? If not then it isn't better.

    I also have a sound enhancer on my HD7 so the equalizer point is moot. It's better because it can auto generate playlists combining library songs with market songs. Some of these songs could be ones you hadn't heard in awhile and you can even download the songs while they're streaming.

    Most android phones don't have a physical camera button, so no they can't do that. Many of them do have quick access shortcuts on the lock screen, but it's still not as fast as WP.
