Perfectly understandable..as with all new platforms it takes time to adjust and learn..mostly when getting down to a more advanced level..with time you'll know it like the back of your hand

I made the switch from the TP2 to the Android. Since I am with USCC I was limited at the time to the Samsung Acclaim, and the HTC Desire. Desire was the better choice of the two. But then I ran into one major problem, unlike my TP2 I couldn't load the apps on the SD card. And the promise of Android 2.2 was and still is not available through USCC. So I learned how to root the phone, I also flashed Android 2.2, then 2.3 and the Desires from USCC is still on 2.1 and now the upgrade to 2.2 has been delayed again.

I've been Pro windows since about 02 or 03 ish.

I've had about 5 Window's CE devices. Went to the Hitachi G1000, then to PPT 6600. Then 6700, 6800 Mogul, Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2.

My motto was if it ain't window's I don't @$%* with it. Ever since I switched now I'm like "@$%* Window's" lol.

Now I'm on Android. Was very skeptical before getting it.

Of course there are a few things I miss and love about windows over Android but that's with any swich of systems you make.

One of the few things that bugs me with Android is the File structure when navigating your SD card. That and DRM Liscense issues which is being worked on. Other than that, I am very very happy and I think you will be too.

Everyone I know on a personal basis went to windows because of me and now have switched because of me and all have the same obsession/love for Android that I do.

At least try it out and make sure it's a high end Android especially if you had a high end Window's device to get a good comparison, but I've heard that mid level android devices can blow away lots of high end windows devices.

Just my .02

I've been doing some beta testing for the midNIGHT rom and as you can probably tell by my number of post the past 3 weeks, I've learned a ton by doing that.

Same situation. Ditch TP2 and go to Evo or EvoShift? I tried loading Android on the TP2 and couldn't get it to work right. And the inlaws have android phones, so the wife now wants us to give up our f&c plan to get android. Keep thinking something new and exciting will come out soon...though.

I've got my eye on the Thunderbolt when it comes out. If Windows 7 with 4G was available on Verizon, I don't know how quick I'd be to jump onto the android platform, but there are a lot of people that seem to like the platform and I can't see myself going back to Apple.

WAS a die hard WM fan, waited and waited and waited for the "7 pro" to come out on sprint... would still be waiting if my TP didn't die. Had to have a phone that worked and made the switch to the shift. It must have been a sign or something because I love the new phone.

Took a bit to get used to andro but just trial and error I learned a lot. With android there is a LOT less error. (for me anyway, thanks to the great folks on this site)

Not brave enough to flash a ROM yet, mostly because I am so happy with what I have already. Am rooted though, do have a lot less bloat now, do have wifi tethering, do have great battery life... DON'T have freezing every time I get a text!!!

I used to love the thrill of the hunt in trying to find the problems with my WM phone. I would get SO pissed off trying to keep the damn phone alive. The wife kept me from having a TP shaped hole in the wall a few times.

Now, there's an app for that... 'nuff said.

COME TO THE DARK GREEN SIDE!!!

Not possible

It is generally agreed that Win Mobile has problems. We can compare it to Windows Vista which was not accepted very well by the market. When you open the phone, there is a unique dual system start up menu. The upper one is Windows Mobile system, the lower one is Android system.

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.
