I prefer the Windows environment for mobile development and also for its contacts and email system. For the most part, I code for the Windows platform and would like to get into the mobile programming end of the spectrum. As for the functionality side, I like Outlook for my business and residential use. All of my contacts and mail are stored in Outlook. I am sure that the Android is capable of synching contacts and mail, however I prefer to only use google's email service for its spam filtering. In the past and most likely in the near future, an Exchange server email setup will also be utilized.

I have also been looking at the LG Fathom, but would really like to stick with HTC.

Also-- I just find it odd that phone carriers do not yet offer the latest technology in multiple platforms. It's not like they don't already get software licensing in bulk.
