Like many here, I was stuck on WinMo and thought I'd never give it up (or my TP2, for that matter). Running a Vin's ROM, my TP2 was running well with few glitches.

Made the switch to Android when I added a line to my account for my wife and gave her my TP2. This Epic 4G has been awesome, even on stock ROM. Only reason I ever rooted was for Wireless Tether.

The choice was easy after looking at Windows Phone 7. It sucked! Android was just as easy to learn, finding apps and installing them is super-easy, especially with Automatic Updating, and the flexibility and sheer power of this device without being the RAM hog WM 6.5 has me also saying, "F*** Windows!"

2 months after buying the Epic, I ended up picking up a LG Optimus S for both my son & wife. Even the Optimus, for such a small, inexpensive device, still packs a punch with a faster processor than the TP2 and running FroYo. My wife & son are hooked!

Android, for such a powerful platform, is quite easy for even a non-tech-geek novice to learn. My 9-year-old figured out 3/4 of the functions of his phone within the first 15 minutes!

I see this being THE PLATFORM for all future smartphones.....forcing Windows, RIM, and eventually iOS to bow out gracefully.
