Ah, new gadgets... and the nerdiness begins anew.

I feel like I'm stocking up for a natural disaster or something. By dipping my toes in the android waters I'm preparing myself for the impending death of WinMo. The death of Palm OS hit me pretty hard, and I'd rather have an easy transition this time around.

My girlfriend has the Hero. While it's an awesome device, I wouldn't necessarily suggest trading a TP2 for it straight up. Seems like they're getting the better end of the deal on that one.

That being said, if you can wait for the Evo, do it. Android has a very small learning curve coming from WM, and you'll fall in love with it the first day you use it. If you want to get a "preview" of Android and how it works, you can do so on your TP2 here:

Granted, some key things are missing right now (like sound, GPS), but at least you can get a good feel for it.
