First time Android user (hardcore WM fan)

I had to create a thread.

I am coming from tp2 this is big change for me. My first smartphone was ppc-6700 and now after spending 24 hours with this gadget I love it!

This is my first android phone and I don't think I will be missing my windows mobile 6.5. I am still new to this platform have no idea what the hell is going on. I am just browsing different forums and reading threads.

Not so thrilled about 3d stuff but the phone itself is fast and very easy to use! its like switching from toyota corolla to maserati quattroporte.

Welcome to the club...I also come from the WinMo lineage with the 6700, touch, etc. I have not looked back longingly since moving to the Evo 4G and I suspect you will be feel the same way.

Welcome. You won't believe how addictive your phone is going to get.

Same Here! Came from WM all the way back to Win CE 3.0; had HTC 6800 (Mogul) and TP2. I am stunned at how good Android is! Wake up, MS.

I came from the TP1, to the 3vo. Pretty happy so far.

Unless MS gets a real "app store" in the very near future, they are done in the Mobile market. I was one of the few that kinda liked the TP1, but it was a constant battle keeping it from crashing.

I bought a cheap android tablet and noticed a TON of apps that I could easily put to use on a daily basis for my work. So I knew my next phone would be android based. The one big reason I went with Winmo on my last phone was the fact I could put a standalone GPS app on it. Since I could do the same on the 3vo, no reason to stay anymore.

Coming from a TP2, I am amazed at how fast and smooth the 3vo responds to user input. I thought I would never be able to do without the hard keyboard but the android voice recognition makes texting easy. I was in the dark ages with WM and did not know it.

If you started from the HTC Apache you're still a newcomer to the market.

Some of us started back when Handspring revolutionized the market. I don't miss WM6.5 AT ALL. I have to say the best WM device I owned was the Mogul (or the 8925 if you had GSM). All those programmable buttons and WM5 was PEPPY. I always wanted a Universal, but never was with gAyT&T long enough to get one. The StarTRK was cool too, but damn that proprietary charger.

All I can say is good thing you never got an HD2,

With a phone that you can flash WM6.5, Android 2.x, WP7, and ubuntu you would never have slept again!

But I feel you, I've been on the Sensation and hanging out in this forum lately and this latest installment by HTC is nothing less that pure awesome!

Me too. Mogul was best and worst was original tp.

HD2 was awesome device very versatile. I think this newer phones are great right out of the box. In past we had to spent countless hours tweaking and installing that perfect .cab (which I loved) but now android is my next addiction.
