I just got done using the Touch Pro 2 for a month and sent it back to try out the Hero. In one sentence: I'm glad I did.
I really liked the TP2, but I like the Hero even more. I would say Android is just as, if not more so, stable than the TP2. I've only used the Hero for 3 days now but I haven't had it lock, or freeze, or slow down enough to where I had to restart it.

Its hard to comment on the functionality because it depends what apps you use on WinMo and if they're available on Android. The exact same app might not be available but I'm sure there are other options to completing the same task. And thats what it comes down to, being able to adjust to completing tasks in a slightly different manner. The web browser is great, as good as anything available for WinMo, imo. Email is very good, GMail integration is top notch. Everything you can do on a computer with Gmail is available on the phone. The only thing I've seen people have a problem with is downloading attachments. One way I've got around this is setting up my yahoo account and when I need to download an attachment from an email I get from Gmail I just forward it to my yahoo and download it through that account. Kind of a hassle, but it works and I don't download attachments very often.

One thing I have to comment on is the software keyboard on the Hero. ITS AWESOME! I haven't missed the huge kb on the TP2 at all since I've sent it back.
