if your not gonna also keep your tp2s on a dif line is there anything u may miss about winmo ? first thing that popped in my head is pocketshield. idk how many use this but i prefer it over any other lock program i tried. the lockscreen is so sweet looking & would especially b on this large screen. i hate the lock on the g1 my girl has where she can use throttle lock no matter what she cant disable having to also tap menu to unlock, at least she hasnt stumbled on the fix

I use Calibre to convert any text file to run on my Sony Ebook Reader. I believe it also converts anything to epub format as well.

The HTC Network plugin. I still use it just about everyday to move things around on my home network.

Also Core Player / TCPMP, although I'm sure a real Android solution for Xvid isn't far off.

I'm trying to think of what apps are on my Touch Pro that I can't find equivalents for with Android. I'm wondering if there's a way to take my phonebook off my Touch Pro and restore it on the Evo. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to do it all manually.

google sync can get you your contacts. you just have to set up activesync for google's server and it will export it for you.

I will miss the keyboard, wifirouter (until Froyo 2.2 anyways), iGo and MS Myphone.

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...
