eh, wesley, you're fighting a losing battle on many of those points.... i use both the evo and tp2, love both, but for different reasons. Both have advantages but they are far from the same level. You can't be happy with the winmo equivalent to some of these points, it's just not possible if you've ever used the alternative.

Anyway, how can you compare han-f'n-dango to the android market? With handango, you're overcharged, quality apps are highly lacking and you won't find free apps that are actually useful (if any). It's a clunky way to download/install apps. I downloaded 30 (useful) free apps on my first day with the evo and in record time.

Again, you're trying to compare tellme to voice to text on android? Nah, sorry that's crazy. Something tells me you've never used android and have no idea how powerful that tool is. Tellme doesn't even work right for most devices because microsoft abandoned the project (it was supposed to come out for multiple phones last year, but only available on the intrepid - maybe 1 more). And when it does work, no it's not damn near close. It's a completely different type of voice to text. On android you can use anywhere you can enter text. Tellme is only used in that program and it sucks - I remember uninstalling on the first day.

Don't compare google search on android with the website. I don't think you understand the significance of integration... I won't even break it down for you.

Back button IS garbage on winmo and you know it (or maybe you haven't realized). For the most part, except surfing with some browsers, all it does is minimize/close crap, it doesn't actually go back an action like it should. There's a reason why people barely use it on winmo and also why developers have to create ways to go back within the software.

I agree that you don't need a stylus anymore on winmo thanks to HTC and/or 6.5.x, but the OS is far from finger friendly. Resistive screens are not finger friendly either, they're fingernail friendly. For the longest time i thought i was fine with resistive, then i tried capacitive for a week and realize how crappy resistive is. Only reason to like it is if you need it for character input like in china.

I applaud your effort, but you're defending the wrong points. Actually, you should be highlighting what WinMo can do OVER android, not what it can't do nearly as well. That just makes WinMo look bad. Unfortunately, as each day passes, WinMo is losing ground on what it can do over Android. That's why I'm using both platforms now.

This is coming from a user of both. I can list what i think is better on winmo, but that's for another day.

Btw, you can install stuff outside of the market easily without root.

Peace
