Why should I drop WinMo for Android?

Probably the reason why you didn't get an answer is because you answered your own question in your opening statement:

"I'm using a Touch Pro2 on Sprint and I'm pretty happy with it..."

If you are happy with it and it works for you why even bother with the question? In the end the only one who needs to convince you is yourself. If your TP2 does everything you need, end of discussion.

I think he's referring to his next phone. Sure it does everything he needs it to do, but maybe one of these phones do it better.

OP, i think everyone else answered your questions pretty well. But I would like add a couple things. First, the big fuss isn't over Google maps, its over the Google navigation app that comes with android 2.1 which offers free voice turn by turn directions. Which doesn't mean a whole lot to you if you use and enjoy Sprint Nav. but options are never a bad thing. Also I would suggest Android over WM because WM as we know it is dieing. Sure, Microsoft says they're still going to support it, but It is being left for dead when it comes to the Dev. community. many software companies, like Skype and Mozilla, are already abandoning the OS and more are sure to follow. So my suggestion is to hang onto your TP2, and wait to see what the EVO has to offer. who knows what new things are going to come out for Android in that time span.

That's true. The Android platform is really growing in leaps and bounds. It's still a little rough around the edges but updates and new programs seem to come out alot faster than ... say Winmo. If a feature doesn't exist now, it may be just a matter of time when it will.

It might be a good to look at the Evo once the dust settles a bit. It's going to be a frenzy once it's released.
