The resistive screen on the tp2 leaves a lot to be desired. I can tap on something extremely tiny on a capacitive screen and always get it vs the tp2 which hardly recognizes screen taps in the browser. This is my opinion. Where I see windows shine is the fact that you can play all types of codecs for video and you can really get to the guts of the phone through the registry. I will miss that the most.
Windows has more apps but your stuck always searching google.com or forums, to get the apps that are not in the app catalog. Android has everything at the tip of your fingertip.
Compass with google maps and street view, android market, capacitive screen (big plus), android 2.01 coming with google navigation, fully customizable without cabs that may or may not work, multi touch, pinch zoom, visual bookmarks, widgets for anything you can think of, pandora fully functional, and a UI that doesn't crash.
I am not putting down the tp2 because it is a great phone for the business user, but not for me. Windows is very dated at this point. Android will saturate the market and soon most phones out there will be android. With updates from google coming pretty steady, it makes windows look really stale. HD2 will change the game a little, but that's going to tmobile.

I totally feel the same. Took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh, and just to correct you. The Hero/Sense is getting 2.1, not 2.0.1. That is for Vanilla Android, ie: Droid.
