i think ppc is gonna start to change

with all the changes m$ is making to winmo i think we are going to be seeing alot more defectors to this side.
1 no more sd cards
2 no 3rd party apps
3 only 3 form factors
4 no more overlay ui's
i think that these are all gamebreakers for winmo

Re: i think ppc is gonna start to change

Since we're still 6+ months away from its release, hopefully they will come to their senses.

The SD card thing I could live with as long as there's 16Gb or more of internal storage, not the crappy 4Gb like we had in the Diamond.

The 3 form factors is probably alright. My guess is you'll have a full touchscreen, one with a slider, and one like the Trophy.

I think the 3rd party apps is still up in the air. By default, Android (at least the Nexus One) turns off installation of apps outside of the Market, but its an easy checkbox to turn it on.

With that being said, I love my Nexus One. I can still install custom ROMs and I think its a good option for WM users.

Re: i think ppc is gonna start to change

I agree, I have been a long time WinMo user, and was very excited to hear about WP7S, but once the details were revealed I have really kind of lost interest. The Evo announcement yesterday from Sprint (my current carrier) may be the nail in the coffin for me and Windows Mobile.

Re: i think ppc is gonna start to change

I think many will leave WinMo for Android in the next few months, with even more when the EVO 4G and Nexus One are released on Sprint. Android just works, and people are tired of hacking to hell their phone just to use it.

Agree on all counts. I'm just tired of WinMo in general. Flashing to fix, flashing for the sake of flashing. I know, just stay with stock or a well known ROM, but at the end of the day my TP2 is just too damn slow now I've played with some of the Android devices.

Believe it or not, one of my biggest gripes about switching would be the lack of posts / threads here on PPCG for the newer Android devices Sad but true, but hopefully over time that will improve.

Re: i think ppc is gonna start to change

We have added many new users as of lately that are Android users and more and more of our WinMo users are converting, so I think we are growing nicely. In time, if Android keeps on with the momentum that we have seen thus far, I would be shocked to not see a pretty even number of Android and WinMo users here.

Re: i think ppc is gonna start to change

I agree.. WM is getting tired and old...and with the direction wm7 is going.. where else is everyone gonna go!!! Android...Why.. cause like rain said it just works... plus its open source.. and plenty of hacking to be done.....We have a nice small android group here on ppcgeeks... but im gonna say this time next year it will be pretty even...That is if most of the wm users here can let go of sero...lol.. I think that is another factor for why alot of people put up with wm..
