Apps. Most of them are crap, outdated with horrible interfaces. It's no secret that you have to SEARCH for them because most of them are years old to begin with. There's no logic whatsoever in actually choosing to have to scour the internet for old apps as compared to NEW apps... with better interfaces... that are developed constantly and kept up to date.

Customization. More of a pain than a gain. Just like the roms are nice, but almost..well not almost, every single one of them has SOME kind of bug that you just have to suck up and swallow. And on top of that Android is just as customizable WITHOUT needing to do all of the unnecessary tweaks just to make the phone run like it should out of the box anyways.

As far as other OS' cant even begin to compare to it.. that part is just a joke. Constant freezes, sleep of death, old apps... SLOW.. the only real benefit is exchange and even that isnt an issue with the new Android 2.1 update. It seems to me like people are just afraid of change or something but it's no secret that the majority of android's new customers come from winmo. I had a tp2 and switched and pretty much everything about it is better to me. Personally winmo doesnt offer anything that would make me stick with an outdated OS.. and as far as WP7 being better... you mean the iphone clone? SMH... none of the other OS touch it but they took pretty much a carbon copy of what Apple did and threw WP7 on it. Irony.
brownhornet, try Mightyrom.

In addition to the crazy speed, I have had NO issues whatsoever, and I've been running the rom for nearly two months now. Just do a task29, flash the rom, and boom... your tweaking is done.

Oh yeah, and another thing. A lot of winmo's apps may be old, but they work perfectly (depending on which one you install). And as a result, you get a phone that works like you want it with minimal tweaking involved. Nearly ANYONE, even those who worship good looks on their devices, would choose my phone over any OS out there. The only thing that might change their minds is their built in hate for winmo, no matter how good it runs.
