Now, all of a sudden we don't need a hardware KB anymore?? What happened, did everybody give up texting so they could buy a shiny new phone LOL (that in its current state has less functionality than a Windows phone)....

The hardware keyboard makes a big difference. But as of recently I've been using the touchscreen keyboard on my TP2 to see how much more difficult it is and I rarely have any problems.
There is no doubting that the TP2 has the best
hardware keyboard on any mobile phone. At least that I've ever used.
Keeping that in mind, the EVO (and HD2) have the best
touch-screen keyboard on any mobile phone, seeing as they have the most screen real estate.

The main thing about a smartphone is it has to be smart enough to search the web for what I want and apply it to my device, not go and find a watered down app. I like the ease of use of other platforms but I am a real power user and you can only get that from windows.

Apps are just eye candy, what Windows Mobile does different is it uses Software
Applications. There are a lot of these WinMo programs that are functional and not just extensions. Ones that aren't internet based and do things other than update your facebook status.
But, the landscape is changing. Android is now getting Applications that aren't just watered down internet site apps. Such as function widgets to sync information with your home computer or system utility programs.
I know I didn't list specific apps, (I'm not going to take that kind of time) but I'm speaking conceptually.
Windows Mobile has a lot of the older and useful "techy" Apps, but few of the newer more social media or "fun" apps.
Android is evolving into both fun and functional. The market is growing at an ever increasing and almost out of control rate.
But Windows Mobile? Almost stagnant. Other than community based efforts and a few software manufacturers it's all about done for "Windows Phone Classic". And once Windows Phone 7 comes out we will be all but dead in the water.
If you don't end up jumping ship now, you will be in the next year. That's
almost a fact.
