Did you switch from WM? What do you think?

Yep, not a problem with either 6.1 or 6.5. It just worked. Give me WM6x on an Evo type device and hog heaven with mud would be it.

The evo is the best device I've used. But I would switch it to a sprint HTC hd2 any day, if it existed.

Well I have been using WM in one form or another since before they even had phones in the devices.

I just switched to Android and I can say it is far superior to WM in many ways except the ability to sync with Outlook which I may have solved.

In response to some of the posts here...

The problem is Bluefart not Android OSKeyboards. I find the stock keyboard even better in touch accuracy that anything in WM.

Lots of Ads - Well if you root the phone there is another app that will kill all the ads in the Apps that are free. Call Adfree available in the market. (MUST HAVE ROOT)

In regards to customizations I think Android is probably WAY more configurable than WM and not only that once you have the phone set up to flash custom roms there Rom Devs actually make the Roms available and updatable OTA (Over the Air) which makes the flash learning curve easy even for noobs.

The only complaint I can give regarding this Android (D2G) is Battery life! I just ordered the extended Battery to solve that.

But if you really want to live inside of Outlook for contacts and calendars etc...
You will probably want to wait until that whole USB and Outlook sync issue has a good solution.

Right now I'm using Android Manager WiFi to sync my contact list (Cal isn't compat with the Android vers my D2G is running as of this moment) and you will get into some issues if you happen to link social networking sites to the content list.
Seems things like Facebook contacts are not really considered phone contacts and do not sync into outlook.

I solved that issue so if anyone wants to know how PM me!

I will say this, Never had I had a phone that even at stock ran so smooth that it never felt underpowered.

After having 5 or 6 different WM phones this is the first time I can say that!

It really is a wonderful system and I'm loving it! I have not pined for my sense screen since powering it up!

I entered the smartphone arena a few years ago with WinMo with the HTC Touch (Vogue). I then moved up to the Touch Pro, then the TouchPro2. I loved the capabilities of the TP2, especially after heading to the "dark side" of Hard-SPL unlocking and installing custom ROMs. What I did not like was the lack of available RAM and slow processor. Overclocking helped some, but there were still enough issues and I was constantly running ClearTemp and cleanRAM at least a couple times a day to keep things running smoothly.

I was skeptical to move to Android, considering the platform is still a bit young. Furthermore, I became so used to WM that I figured the "learning curve" of Android would kick my behind. However, my wife needed a new phone and I figured it was at least worth a shot. Picked up an Epic 4G about a week ago, and WOW! I'm impressed!

The processor is much quicker and MUCH smoother. When I'm in a 4G zone, data speeds make web browsing and data-based apps feel instantaneous! For the most part, the apps work as designed with little or no flaws. On that note: APPS! Lots of them! Most of them FREE! I love to cook, and having the Betty Crocker Cookbook handy within a few finger taps is a heck of a lot more comforting than the big binder my mom used to stuff in one of the kitchen drawers!

Customizing the phone the way I like it felt very similar to my TP2 running CHT 2.0, without some of the headaches CHT presented. The TouchWiz and phone's menus are very similar to HTC Sense, so again - the "learning curve" was almost non-existent.

The only thing that was a little confusing to me at first was rooting, until I figured out that it honestly was no more different than unlocking my TP2. Still running stock Eclair, but rooted for the Wi-Fi Tether app. (I think $30/month or using a USB cable is just plain ridiculous for a device that was manufactured to do it from the factory.)

So was the switch worth it to me? Well, considering the advantages I've gained, combined with the fact that many apps now are either iOS or Android with little-to-no-support fo Windows Mobile; ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY!

Next step: Considering my wife has my TP2 running Vin's ROM (and she likes it, considering it's an upgrade from a LG Lotus Elite), we may go ahead and upgrade her's to an EPIC as well.
