Why should I drop WinMo for Android?

I think this should be moved to General Android Discussion

As far as bluetooth dialing, I don't have a bluetooth headset so I don't know for sure, I believe if the phone does have voice dial (if you don't remove it when you root your phone) it will support bluetooth voice dial... especially with Android 2.1 on a phone

You are able to browse files on a Windows based network, most modern networks will support this, I used Google and found this for you http://www.androlib.com/android.appl...cover-pij.aspx its called aFile. Android can do most of the things that everyone is requesting here, the only problems Android usually runs into is when it's interfacing with a windows based software such as Outlook. There are tools available to sync with Outlook (not talking exchange) BUT it goes through Google first.

A lot of people complain about having to use a Google account, it's like this though, Google was the main supporter of the Open Handset Alliance so that's why they have thing go through them, don't hear much a fuss about iPhone users having to give their info to Apple do you? Or do they? I don't know, I'm not here to get into the politics of the whole thing... I do know one thing though, for those of you hesitant to jump off the sinking rubber life raft you call WinMo and land on a more stable and useful platform, you really don't know the goodness you're missing.

If its not google you end up sharing your info with Palm or with Applie or with M$...I mean people make their own info available publicly in facebook and twitter...and your not forced to get a google account...but a lot of the features just require it.
