I'm not moving on just because a couple of canadians did, who cares? its not the end of the world. only device I'm moving on to is an htc wp7 device with at least 16gb of storage.

So let's get this straight, you have your kitchen setup with all the same tweaks that both MM and X do??? I doubt that, because they both have things behind the scenes that very few get to see. For example, X has a very special one off build just for his kitchen, written by yours truly.
I too have left my TP2, not directly because of Mike and X, I have wanted one since I got my TP2, they just didn't have the phone I wanted at the time. I may have finally made the plunge because my 2 very good friends did, but they weren't the primary reason.
As always, M$ is a little late to the game, not saying that WP7 won't make it, but by that time, imagine where Android will be, Open Source can progress so much faster than a closed source project.
And whatever you do, do not refer to me as a fandroid. Just so you know, I've worked on Windoze since 2.0, yeah that was 1989 or so. I've been working with Unix for the same amount of time. I started on Linux back in the early days, read 1992 early 1993. I started programming in 1983, and have even used punch card modems.
My TP2 was my first smart phone, I loved the hardware, but disliked the OS, hence coming here and hacking the hell out of it. No matter what I did, it just wasn't what I wanted in a phone. Then I jumped to Android, first via the port for the TP2, then a full blown phone, and I can do what I want with it. Hell, I'm modifying and compiling my own kernels now, and have almost completely converted back to Linux as my primary OS on my computer too.
I'm not saying that the TP2 sucks and Android is better, what I'm saying is to each their own, so show some respect to those of us who have given so much and asked so little.

And from what I have heard customizing the ui on WP7 is not gonna happen
. Don't know if I want a phone that I can't customize to my desire.

Is there not better material to describe the mass exodus to other platforms? Could it be MS is the problem? Maybe taking their eye off the ball and letting their supporters down?? I want w7 to be a glowing success because I'm a consumer that likes options. IMO, winmo and the tp2 continue to be a viable option. If you like it, by all means keep it and enjoy it.

I don't expect you to bail if any chef leaves this place, but honestly, there's no need to be disrespectful, seriously. Take a look at the thread for the stock ROM's I'm sure you've flashed many times, or the radios, or the MR2 rom for VZW users (keep in mind neither of them were even on VZW, it was done for the users here), the least you can do is show a little respect.

PB, Riley and Fish, I agree with you three.
