Should I Keep Waiting?

I'm happy with the TP2, got my mem maxed out to a 32Gb microSD card, love Sense and the ability to run Android 2.2.3 on my phone as well as WinMo 6.5, but I just hate damn Windows Mobile and how it'll crash sometimes and what not from whatever causing you to do a hard reset...

Only things holding me back from a HTC Arrive is THOSE DAMN UGLY TILES(I'd love to change that whole homescreen and get rid of the tiles, if only HTC Hubs were more updated and in sync with all the tiles, like how Sense was... WTF Those out Sense or toss it over to Android "The Competitor"?) and the locked in 16Gb storage/microSD (Any hardware mod to remove the 16Gb and add your own?)...

Thats really all thats keeping me from it so far, even though I am tempted.

well i guess you answered your question cause tiles are still there. hd7 has a mod to change sdcard so maybe.

I'd love to see HTC go balls out berzerk with their HTC Hubs and do something like Sense/TouchFlo/Manila-like with the tiles or Hubs...

But yea I read somewhere I think that it's against policy for any OEM to change the UI. Or some junk, but thats stupid.

Main reason I hate Tiles is cause to me I think of, microsofts version of the iPhone SQUARES GALORE LINKED and that's basically what it really is in a nutshell instead of being set in one place unscrollable like iPhone's though.

But the main concern, reason for considering the switch is cause no matter how many hard resets, htc's slide to answer in sense never picks up and answers a call, even disabled it doesn't. That and I'm extremely tired of WinMo's unstability buggieness.

I thought I'd miss Sense more than anything else but I don't. Everything I use the most is right there and live. I also thought I'd get bored of the tile layout (when previewing WP7 / TP2 mods) but I haven't. It will be nice if we ever get a chance to make custom icons for some of the tiles. (some are just plain fugly or don't color match the existing theme as others do). Sometimes only having the same rainbow of colors to choose from feels a little constrained. I do like being able to quickly change from light/dark themes depending if I'm outside or inside. If you don't like WinMos bugginess then look no further. Mine has been rock solid, slick, and fast. Yes there are some things missing, but coming(here now on beta). Changing the SDCard was a breeze. It really depends on you, the user. You'll know after you try one. For me, Android w/Sense feels familiar but when I tried WP7 it felt right.

On note of the tiles you are aware of this aren't you?

I hope somebody is cooking something up for a dual boot XDAndroid. LoL

Speaking of the dual boot, unrelated but I think my fellow PPCGeeker's will get a kick out of this if it hasn't been discussed yet.

Being a weather person, hunting,work,ect. it would have been cool if the Sense style weather could overlay on the lockscreen as an option at least for some eye candy.

*Starts a rumor to see if it'll come true all firstly from speculation and hearsay...

Yea they could call it HTC Home Hubbles, or HHH for short... Or something like that.
