Who plans to go HD2?

Two STRONG points...

1. Can we go back to the GSM vs. CDMA discussion?!!! That was much more interesting!!!

2. If you really buy a new personal-use smartphone every year, you have other issues that you may want to focus on.

buying phones is no problem for me. I will always have the latest winmo phone. that is why i will get the hd2 if it comes to sprint, and then if a tp3 comes with a keyboard and it has a snapdragon processor, guess what, i'll buy that because i do really want a keyboard, but i want phone functionality more which is why i would leave tp2 for hd2.

if you are a sprint customer you should log on to this website and post your comment, even though it may be too late already.

How fast a given WinMo device is versus a given Android device is largely dependent on the hardware running it. Yeah, an older Qualcomm processor is going to drag compared to a Snapdragon. Early preview/review suggest that the HD2 is screaming fast because it has a Snapdragon. And either way, once I disabled push internet, I find my TP2 compares favorably to my friend's Droid.

And yes, WinMo is old. WinMo 6.0/6.1 was a coat of paint over WinMo 5's guts, and 6.5 is pretty much a tide-me-over update until 7 comes out. Despite its age, software like TouchFLO does a really good job of hiding WinMo's aging guts under a UI that can hang with any other modern smarphone OS.

Android is brand new. So what's its excuse for its bare-bones presentation of white font on black menus and a grid of icons that look ripped for a five-year-old Linux distro? Without a slick UI like Sense, Android looks as old as WinMo is.

As for development, the Windows Phone Marketplace is indeed lacking compared to the Android Marketplace. But that's where WinMo's biggest advantage really shines: it's an open platform. Pretty much anything I've wanted WinMo to do, I've been able to find an app for it with a quick Google search, including stuff that comes on Android like Google Maps.

Eventually by Windows Mobile 7.5 it will just be a Zune Phone, with Xbox Live, 32nm CPU, and dedicated GPU, Capactive screen, and be as powerfull as an Xbox 1, which will let you download an dplay all your Xbox Live arcade games on it for free as long as you already purchased it on your 360.

If it comes on HTC hardware with an updated Manilla and a slide out keyboard, and can still do Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC (I have a ton of books in the .lit format), then I'm sold.
