I have windows mobile because up until this point there's really been no other option from a business perspective. Push email from exchange and a true RDP client are *requirements* for me along with tethering.
Sprint does not offer any tethering with the Hero and Verizon does not offer it with the Droid phones (although that is due to change). PDANet offers a solution, but for business use I'll pay the carrier for a 100% working solution. Exchange support on the HTC devices was good - the droid seems to be fine (although not all SSL configurations currently work with it).
I have no beef in general with Windows Mobile other than it's been quite poorly designed from a memory management perspective for a mobile/embedded device for years. They tried to take a step forward with 6.5's memory manager and hopefully 7 will continue to improve on this. I've used it because it's been the only option.

While I vaguely get your point it still makes no sense to purchase identical hardware when in a matter of months you will be able to get a 1 Ghz processor (a large step up from 528 or 550 Mhz). The Hero/Eris from a "specs" standpoint is a larege step down from the TP2 in screen and a push on the chipset. (I have no plans to buy a Motorola device personally).
While Android as an OS is intriguing from a developer standpoint I am not about to purchase 2 phones out of pocket when I can wait 4 months and get something that will run better and offer more flexibility in the future. To pay $350+ for a phone as a novelty just doesn't make enough sense for me to do so when I can take that same money and apply it to a device with much better specifications in such a small amount of time.
When the 1 Ghz devices roll onto CDMA from HTC (Here's hoping for the Bravo/Passion) then I will plunk down my money for a device that should serve me well for some time. If Android isn't up to snuff from a business perspective then it's back within the 30 days and back to Windows Mobile.
