Im gonna miss Audible player on WM. I love audiobooks and get 2 a month from audible.com. And as far as I know, they dont have a player for android yet. Guess ill just have to spent some time converting.

I will miss...being able to install programs to my SD card. I know they say it's coming but who know when. Then you have to wait until Sprint upgrades the ROM....We all know how good they are at that....ex: TP2 6.5 upgrade...Hero 2.1 upgrade.... I was all ready to make the jump.... but am rethinking now. Just because of this issue. I have many friends/family on other android phones...and they get low memory warnings all the time.

The keyboard isn't part of Winmo...

I will miss the gaming aspect.

Android games aren't as good as winmo due to lack of developer interest which is slowly changing. Im not talking paper toss and such but mainstream games...

The only thing I will miss is the keyboard, but I don't think that should be a problem and I'll get over it quickly.

For those of you who will miss MyPhone, as long as you don't need to back up all your calls and texts, you don't need it. Everything automatically syncs to your google account. I think that's better than MyPhone any day.

For those wondering how to transfer things from winmo to Android, check out the currently free Sprite Migrate (LINK). I plan on using it to backup my SMS and call logs. I moved my domain over to the free Google Apps a while back, so I already have all my contacts, mail and calendar going through it. With activesync, it's was a pretty seamless transition from my previous Exchange server on my Touch Pro 2. Plus it will be natively accepted in Android

Here's some info from the Sprite Migrate site:
What do we migrate?

• Contacts
• Call Logs
• SMS
• Bookmarks
• much more coming soon...

Thank you so much for this! Everyone has just been saying google sync as if that was the only option and I was looking for something like this or sktools or dashwire! This is great knowledge! Thanks!

Will it convert iSilo format as well? I have a TON of books in isilo format.

I love the evo for the hardware... but I am not willing to leave winmo. Just got my wife the samsung moment, and it is nice, but IMHO android lacks the tweekability that winmo has got me use to. So I think I will hold out and hope for a 4g device running winmo 6.5, windows phone 7 looks like a dissapointment to me

no need for 2.2..once its rooted everything will be fine and free... also theres an app called Easy Tether thats for unrooted android devices.. its $10 bucks i believe..small price for big results

how about syncing with your hotmail account? is there a app for that that works good.

i know we can use POP, but is there one that can sync with the hotmail servers?
