Don't go Winmo! If you are someone that likes to try and make things work then maybe a winmo phone. I am dumping my TP2 because it is such a pain to keep working right. Seems like every time they fix something 2 other things pop up and cause more issues. I have not gotten my incredeble yet so I can't say what it is like but it sure seemed nice when I played with it in the store

Re: Hi all some advice please ??

Wow. WinMobile for me has been very stable. There really are lots of applications for it, just not many being created at this time due to a bit of stagnation on the home front. I would suggest looking at what you want to accomplish with the device and if having the latest/greatest is that important to you. I went from a Sprint TP2 to the Evo and for the most part it was painless. However, what was painful and continues to be painful is getting use to the screen keyboard. To be frank, it bites.

If you are not use to things like auto answer with your Bluetooth headset, then Android. If you are not use to having no one hear your phone do anything, than by all means Android. There are other tiny little things here and there.

If you want Office compatibility, you gotta buy it with Android and just a bit of a secret, Documents to Go has its own set of oddities.

Would I do the switch to the Evo again? Nope. I would wait until a keyboard in the flesh shows up with the same/similar capabilities of the Evo.

I say windows mobile has a ton more apps than android. If you take the 13k soundboard apps, 11,231 theme apps and the 14k rongtone apps you come up with the same 3 apps wm has. But with wm they are free.
