Hey, here's the deal. I'm currently on WinMo 6.5 and like it. I'm using a Touch Pro2 on Sprint and I'm pretty happy with it, but the T-Mobile HD2 and the upcoming Sprint Evo both have my interest. Can anyone OBJECTIVELY tell me why I should go with the Evo over the HD2 considering the following issues I have?
1. I must have voice dialing over BT. (Like MSVC) I've heard that this doesn't work on Android.
2. I must have PPTP and IPSEC VPN capability.
3. To go with the VPN, I must have a good RDP client, preferably with zoom capability.
4. I'd LIKE to have a check register program to sync with MS Money or Quicken.
5. I'd like a FREE turn-by-turn navigation program. Tell me why there's so much fuss over Google Maps? I get spoken turn-by-turn directions from Sprint Navigation.
6. Is there a Bing client for Android? I really like speaking my search into Bing. Is there something like this for Android?
7. Exchange synchronization is a MUST. Will I get all my e-mail folders, plus contacts and calendar?
8. I use my TP2 as a wi-fi router for free on the Sprint network. Is this capability available in Android?
That's about it. These are my requirements. I'm not looking for flames or fanboys, but real, objective answers. Thanks very much.

I looked for your post and didn't find it regardless let me see if I can answer some questions for you
1. Voice dialing over bluetooth: If the phone the capability to do voice dial then you'll be able to do it with bluetooth. I don't think this has anything to do with whether the phone has Android or not. You'll have a better chance of this working with Android 2.1+
2. VPN is possible, I only know of programs that work with rooted phones though
3. RDP is also possible, some of these programs would have to be purchased though, you can Google most apps you're looking for by adding Android to the app you're looking for, e.g. "Android RDP"
4.
PageOnce is a good finance tool, it's not a check registry though...
Mint another alternative to keep your finances straight (associated with Quicken some how) They have an iPhone app so I'm sure a Android app is soon to follow
5. Sprint had SprintNavigation, free turn by turn navigation which is rebanded Telenav
6. Got Bing?

7. Depending on what carrier and phone you get, some have built-in exchange capable apps like Moxie Mail, you can also find workmail.apk floating around the internet... these apps sync contacts, calendars and tasks as well as push email
8. WiFi router is possible with rooted phones,
Android WiFi Tether
Hope those are objective enough for you and just to let you know I switched to Android and don't regret it one bit!
edit: through some research I found out that Mint.com was purchased by Intuit in September of 09, that's how they are associated
