And now a Android designer has taken a swipe at Windows 7:Android is 'for computer scientists' and iPhone voice control is 'not new' says fiery Microsoft CEO
'The biggest advantage we have over Android is that you don’t need to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone,' said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at San Francisco's Web 2.0 conference this week.

So that got me thinking, which UI would you choose? This is not about the handset maker, it is about the UI. Also Ihave kept the choices as iOS 4. Android 2.3, Windows 7 and Blackberry v6.Rubbish UI
Android interface designer Matias Duarte has hit out at Apple and Microsoft for making useless interfaces.
Showing off Android 4.0's attempt at balancing design with flexibility, Duarte claimed that Jobs' Mob clung on too closely to real-world metaphors which were not just cartoonish but were too reminiscent of crude early web design. All of these applications are designed in this real-objecty, faux wood paneling, faux brushed metal, faux jelly button kind of thing, he moaned to Electronista.
It all looks juvenile. It is not photorealistic, it is just illustrations which is what they used to do in the early days of the web, he said.
“If you tried that today, people would be laughing, unless you were doing it in a kitsch, poking-fun-at-yourself, retro art way," he said.
Windows Phone 7's Metro UI was also pants, he said. With its tiled and hyper-stylized interface it was based on the look of urban signage and left little room for flexibility, Duarte said. He thinks that Android 4.0 was closer to the web, where there was a large amount of freedom to customise the interface and make it special, but certain common elements were standardised.

I know next to nothing about Nokia so if the Nokia people want their UI provide me with a pic and I will edit the first post with it and then vote for that UI if thats your choice.
And I know the best way to get to know your UI is to use it but I am curious to see from the screenshots which one is preferred.
