From the survey on smartphone usage we conducted recently, we know that web browsing is a top priority so we will be taking a very close look at the new Internet Explorer browser on Windows Phone 7.

The survey also indicated that multimedia playback and messaging were also heavily used features so we'll be testing the Zune player and getting in touch with the on-screen keyboard. But what other parts of the smartphone experience need close examination and comparison with iOS, Android and BlackBerry OS?

Let us know by posting your questions in the comments section below and we'll post our responses in a follow-up article as soon as we get our hands on a phone. Please try and avoid posting "my last Windows Mobile phone sucked and I hate Microsoft" replies in the comments of this article, there'll be plenty of time for that in the coming weeks.
