Re: From Touch Pro to Moment?

I made the same switch (Apache>TP>Moment)

I was sick of WinMO, but i didn't realize how accustomed i was to it.

My take:

Pros:
-screen beautiful - and capacitative is much more natural feeling
-app store makes android. so many things...for free, on demand
-syncs exchange out of the box via moxier mail app acceptably...though GAL access is confusing at best
-Android allows you to use any app to do anything, and it's natural. for instance...in my picture gallery, i hit the share button, and i'm presented with the option to share via gmail, work email, facebook, twitter, etc. (whatever you have installed that will take a picture as an input)

Cons:
-sooo different than winmo in that it's decentralized...from figuring out task managers to installing a completely seperate app to manage SMS..and a seperate spot to manage audio alerts for each app
-built in voice command SUXORS...and tends to find google contacts prior to exchange (when all my "good" contacts are in exchange - i could clean this up to fix it)
-no tethering (miss my wmwifirouterfree.cab)
-doesn't use the same mini-usb connection i've accumulated 16 adapters and cables for (cheap-o "micro" usb cables that fit moment available on meritline.com)
-non-integrated office document support (free read-only apps)

In summary...even with its shortcomings..i can accept it. It's a new toy to play with, and with subsequent OS updates and hopefully soon-to-be-rooting, i should be able to close the gaps I currently have with it. Plus, Android is exploding right now with so many new devices - the app store is only going to get bigger, cooler, and just as free (for the most part).
