Sahas Katta, a self-confessed fan of Windows Phone's design, went down to his local Microsoft Store to pit his Android 4.0-powered Galaxy Nexus in a speed test against Microsoft's smartphones and, surprisingly, came out on top. The tests are geared heavily in favor of Microsoft's services, but Sahas still managed to outdo them when tasked with showing the weather for two different cities. The Microsoft Store assistant already had weather tiles for two cities pinned to her Start screen, but Sahas similarly had two weather widgets on his Android homescreen and, importantly, had disabled the lock screen on his phone, allowing him to show the requisite info within a moment of pressing the Galaxy Nexus power button.
For shame, MS. Your contest is already rigged so that WP7 devices are made to win, you then change the rules at the last minute to "smoke" a phone that did actually beat you in your own game. This is why I don't trust this marketing stunt; they'll find ways to make you lose or disqualified.
You may argue that Sahas may have pre-configured his GNex with the appropriate tweaks and widgets, but let's face it; the WP7 phones are also made to win specific tasks by showing the correct tiles in the first place. So, I think it's also fair for users to use hacks/jailbreaks/root in order to win the challenge. Why restrict the challenger, when his device can technically do more than what it has as stock?
