Re: have you USED android yet??
Yes, I've used one. My dad got a Droid and I was quite impressed, and I've been playing with the emulator a lot lately. I think Android is pretty impressive for such a young OS. It's evolving and expanding very quickly. There are areas where it falls short of WinMo, but WinMo has been around much longer, and frankly has never moved at the pace we're seeing from Google.
Besides, WM is now officially a dying platform. WP7 is a totally new system. Despite what they say about continuing to develop WM6.5.X for awhile, I doubt we're going to see much more coming from hardware manufacturers. And I can't see major developers carrying things forward much longer, as they'll be focusing on WP7 (or abandoning MS entirely). It'll live on for awhile, but I'm ready for something with a faster processor, a capacitive screen, better camera, etc.
So the "WinMo is so much better than Android" folks, it's a moot point. Like it or not, WinMo will die off -- Microsoft WANTS it to. Nearly everyone here is going to either be on WP7 or another platform within the next 2-4 years, tops. I'm sure lots of you are thinking right now "I'll stay with my TP2 until they pry it out of my cold dead hands," but get real. You'll either want something new or it'll just plain die on you. You'll move on, and if you like customization, Android will probably be your best bet.
