Re: Incredible - incredible let down? Help us decide.

So gents, what would you do? Three choices:
1) Droid Incredible. Try out Android and recommend me some apps to get over the things that can be fixed
2) HD2 and T-Mobile. Go whole hog with HD2 and tell me that pretty soon Android and WP7 will be available on it, and all my annoyances with WM can be solved with HD2 and a custom ROM
3) Imagio. Keep on flashing my Imagio to find something that doesn't piss me off

Thanks for your help! Having a lot of trouble deciding here. Below are my detailed thoughts and all...

My Imagio has been frustrating me with its continuous lags, stuck hardware buttons and terrible battery life (I've tried every ROM I can think of to get it better). All that said, this is the best Windows Mobile fan I've used, and in general I'm a Windows Mobile fan. I'm just getting a bit jealous that my Twitter, Foursquare and you-name-it app stinks in comparison to Android (iPhone not an option for me -- can't stand iTunes or ATT service).

So lark I bought a Droid Incredible off CL (only $300) and am doing a 30 day T-Mobile trial with an HD2. Both these phones are great in their own ways. I figure that I just want to use one for several months until WP7 comes out.

Normally this would be super-easy, I would just keep the Droid Incredible. The HD2 is a super-phone, but a bit bigger and I'm not sure I'm excited to leave VZW. I have such an awesome contract that T-Mobile would actually be a few bucks more a month for the same service level!

But here's what complicates it for me. The Droid Incredible is fast, snappy and in general fixes my complaints with my Imagio, however I'm bummed out by a few things with it:
1) Exchange in Android -- it's just not as good, even the unlock is clunkier
2) No GSM -- I like that with the Imagio and HD2 as I do travel overseas a few times a year
3) It's really light which is great, but also feels a bit cheap in the hand
4) The keyboard isn't as good as using Swype with Imagio or the same keyboard on the larger HD2 - it's too sensitive and tuned improperly

HD2... It's awesome, but it's on T-Mobile. Good service in my area, but definitely not true everywhere. Also it is damned clunky and a bit more expensive each month for me.
I think you would be better off with a windows phone, because of what you said , you don't understand android and Froyo 2.2 would be way too fast for you . Go with the HD2.
