I'm considering getting an EVO in the next week or so, but just realized that Microsoft My Phone doesn't work with Android. Was wondering if we can install it on this phone or if a nother 4g WM phone is coming in the near future.

The only phone that is coming with wimax that is made b y Microsoft will be WP7 and not wm anymore..but it will be compatible with Microsoft my phone...that said you can always restore from microsoft myphone and transfer everything to gmail or other sync services and get it on android.

As for it being on EVO..there are licensing issues involved...

I am not sure why someone would even want WM on the Evo, I just made the switch with the Evo from WM to Android and I am loving me some Android at this point I don't think I will switch back, Android is two steps forward while WM is one step back for me anyways

I would like WM for no text message size limits.

Text messages are limited even on WM..it just automatically merges them into 1..depending on your text messaging client it can do the same.

All this talk, mentions of Windows 3.1... go ahead and laugh but I had to scratch my head for a minute when I was asked to look at a family members computer to see what was wrong with it and it was running windows 3.1 and this was only a few months ago lol..

I will also say that not everyone hates WinMo. I have the exact same question.
I have played with the EVO and love the device. It runs much faster and more fluid than my TP or a TP2. But it should with the processor that it has. Duh...of course you would not go back to a older device with outdated hardware.

Not all of those here are using their devices for entertainment purposes ONLY. As a business user I chose a smartphone because of WinMo ability to access/create/edit Word, Excell and Power Point. There is nothing like walking into a meeting and having the ability to present a Power Point from my phone. I know that there is a word processing function and google doc's is available, but I am not switching to that.

Some of you are right. I could get a HD2, and have seriously considered this, but Ifor now I'm with Sprint.

So rather than trash a poster for a legitimate question, stick to the topic and answer it. If you feel the need to belittle and pile on about how stupid you may think a question is. Try this....ignore it and move to a different thread. Now I remember why I was away from this site for so long. I had hoped it had changed.
