Depends on the front. HTC has put a lot of work into it's SenseUI, I use it on the android phone I have and there is a version for windows phones. On WM it only goes so deep, so eventually you end up back at WM and some of the screens in that OS haven't been changed for years. Suddenly you are staring at a screen that looks like WM 4. On android it makes a big difference too, it's very clean and easy to configure. My phone has seven home screens which can be customized in almost any way from full screen widgets to 1/8 sized screen widgets showing almost any kind of info, launching apps etc. This IMO is another advantage over iphone which can show almost no info without actually opening apps.
Verizon just got a version of the HTC hero on it's network, the eris, it's like 100 bux and is a good strong phone. Basically the same phone I have. Verizon left that phone alone, I'm not sure if they disabled GPS like they have in the past. One of the reasons I didn't go with Verizon is the level of control they pound into that phone, I've got a GPS chip, let me use it without having to pay even MORE.
