I've used the Apache, Titan, Vogue, Raphael, and Rhodium and am about to switch over to an EVO out of pure boredom (and lots of SODs on my TP2). Can you guys answer some questions for me since I'm an Android noob?

1) Will Android play WMA files? Not that important to me, but I did convert about 4GB worth of music on my SD card to WMA to save space. I would need to grab and organize the originals from my PC.

Yes

2) Is Google Maps good enough to replace iGO8 for navigation? Are there any navigation apps that have maps that are saved locally?
|
Nope, but you can get "MOTONAV" which is a replacement for iGO8 since it is based off of iGO and uses the exact same mapping/content.

3) Is the phone too big? Is it pocket-able? This thing looked pretty beastly...
|
Nope, it is the perfect size. Any bigger and It would begin to look odd. It is pocket-able depending...You should play with one in Best Buy or the Sprint Store to judge. Information like this is subjective.

4) Has it changed your life the way an iPhone change some people's? Just wondering since each WM phone I upgraded too seemed to have just marginal improvements....
|
Yes. At first I was worried that Android, being the young OS that it is, wouldn't have all the apps that i've grown used to on WM, but the development behind Android has surprised me. Almost, if not all apps I've used on WM have an alternative on Android. Also, it's a breath of fresh air not to have an OS slow down after a few hours use, not to have to reboot so much (although on my custom 6.1 ROM, I had no problems and hardly ever rebooted, or had a lockup). the Android platform in general is just so much better than classic Windows Mobile it's laughable. Trust me. However, again, this is subjective, so you may think differently.

5) I have 3 email accounts (work, personal, school)... any problems switching from outlook to the native email client?
|
Well, I can't say for sure, since I only use the gmail client with all of my mail being forwarded to it. But, I haven't read too many complaints about multiple email accounts and/or Android's ability to handle them.[/quote]
No problem!
