I would definitely get this phone today if I could put WM6.5.5 on it now and WP7 later. Android has a lot of promise but right now, for my needs, that is all android has. My old Touch WM let's me make BT voice dial calls now, it has for years. My phone before that let me do it to. Android 2.2 is going to get this with limitations however you'll lose the sense overlay for the EVO which makes Android tolerable if you want Android 2.2 on the EVO any time soon. I have fantastic integration now with e-mail, the sense overlay helps to get around the sad integration with Exchange that Android versions prior to 2.2 have. Android 2.2 will be better than previous versions - almost as good as what WM has had for years. Of course WM is bad for battery conservation but Android is even worse!

WM is much more oriented for what I use my phone for than Android is. Perhaps by Android 2.4 they'll have that huge gap filled in but right now I'd rather have WM and in the near future WP7. However I'd also be very happy to get a 4G iphone on Sprint as well so I'm not stuck on MS products.

I'm sure there will be some trolls who would say but WM is soo old and I agree it is but the NEW Android still doesn't do what I need my phone to do as well as OLD WM. Again, while Android 2.3 or 2.4 or 2.5 may be all that and a bag o' chips - I want to use my phone NOW and WM does all that NOW. WP7 looks better than WM in a few ways but for my needs android doesn't really do anything I want better even with 2.2.
