I must be the only one who returned mine

[frizzlefry]

sorry guys. after a day and a half with android on the incredible I took it back. I suppose that I geeked out to much over the hardware. I am a long time wm user and it just seemed like android would be great for my mom, but not for a business user. thats ok. just wanted to warn others that its not for everyone. its just a more than a little bit iphoneish.by the way capacitive screens may be in or future but nothing compares to a fingernail and a resistive screen for precision.

well, i wouldn't say its just for mothers, haha. i think its a great phone. i came from the tp2. (and this is just a personal thing, but i HATE resistive screens, not trying to bash, thats just me. they feel so cheap, especially the bigger they get.) anywho, what exactly didn't work out for you business wise? a day and a half isn't much to test a phone...what was the main thing that drove you away?

i am just curious. i find android to be an amazing os with lots of potential. the way it syncs (well google stuff) is so seamless and easy. everything on the incredible seems to work together so much better than on my old tp/tp2. i would just assume that the business side of it should work just as well, but i guess it didn't. please explain what drove you away, i think it would be beneficial to those looking to get this phone or possibly thinking or returning it like you did. thanks

A day and a half , not enough time to check out all the business apps available.
Probably just bit off more than he could chew.

actually there is just not enough there to chew. for the truly hardcore wm tweaker it is a step backwards. it reminds me of the old locked down nokia phones we had before. truly i have so few posts because i have so few problems with wm. I will stop short of calling you all fanbois if you lay off of me. trust me you will miss wm if you like wm. that is all i am saying. btw, i loved the hardware with the exception of the screen. its the os that sucks, of course it runs fast, there just isn't that much to it.

edit. the thing that drove me away was i like how wm handles email, and how everything is made for idiots, in a good way. like for my mom.
android is for the masses like the iphone, not for the 1%
a day and a half is plenty enough to want to smash that piece of shite
and whats up with not being able to save an attachment to the device and not to the sd card

Don't think I will miss the lags , freezes , countless soft resets and limited available apps and lack of memory .

Well said. That's exactly what pushed me over the edge and made me decide to jump on the Android bandwagon.

I couldn't be happier and have NO plans on turning back.

it's obvious you didn't get the full android experience. I have noticed a lot of people saying WM is more "business" oriented. To a degree that is true if you are a hard core business guy. But let's be honest, we all have access to computers and only a very few of us CAN'T go 5 mins without getting and replying to an email. The only "business" tools WM really has over android is exchange and better syncing. Having said that, that is about the ONLY thing wm has over android or iphone. it's slower, less efficient, virtually no apps/games, no widget support, and the entire OS will be obsolete in less than a year when winpho7 (aka iPhone/android jr.) comes out. This coming from someone who owns the greatest WM phone that has ever been.

to be fair, my HD2 has none of that stuff except lack of apps. with a snapdragon sporting sick ram, this thing is lightning fast and I don't have to soft-reset it virtually ever. I think winmo's problems were that the OS was so inefficient and demanding that until a snapdragon was used it was just too much wear and hogged too many resources to ever be "smooth" but my HD2 is very responsive.

you must be one of those true dedicated WM users that we only hear about and never meet, kinda like a myth. I'm not bashing WM I have had quit a few of them myself from the samsung i700 to the late touch pro before switching to android, I love the ability to customize WM to no end but i was always doing a soft or a hard reset and then there was the lack of apps, just like WM android gets better once it is rooted. and if you recall it generally takes quit a while to unlock a WM phone, probably longer than it takes for an android phone. it just seems to me that you didn't give it a fair chance but to each its own, I am still a MS fanboy at heart but I will not give up my android phone for any WM6.5 phone for anything
