That might not be a good news bro; Windows Mobile Excels! Particularly WinMo 6.5;
See these videos:

Omnia running WinMo 6.5 and HTC touch flo 2D or Manila 2D

To take a closer look at WinMo 6.5, See these videos

iPhone VS Windows Mobile 6.5

If you find the interface a bit sluggish from the above videos, it might be due to
a) Early Build of WinMo 6.5 (Its not the final version, its still in development process)
b) The phone used in the above videos is TouchHD - so it may be the reason for sluggishness or due to the fact that it is RESISTIVE touchscreen.

Now, imagine a phone of these softwares strengths and Hardware Power of Omnia HD (AMOLED capacitive touchscreen,360 x 640 pixels - 3.7 inches, 3.5 mm audio jack, 8 GB/16 GB, 8 MP 3264x2448 pixels, HD 720p@24fps, D1 (720x480 pixels)@30fps)

Simple WOW!
