When doing a comparison i don't even know whether to compare vs 6.5 or sense 2.5 thats the only thing even worth of comparison. to be honest the droid is a better everyday phone then the tp2. emails, web browsing, phone integration with everything like your, google voice, google maps, youtube (i don't even want to get into facebook or apps which simplify your life so much, which of course winmo 7 will be integrating), and so much more. someone sends me a youtube link through email or text, winmo won't know where to open that link, android will ask "open in youtube player or webbrowser" thats just a simple example but the phone makes everything easier. All the customizations you run on your phone are only to make your tp2 run as easily as a droid. Besides slingbox, you still havent given me 1 thing winmo has better. I promise if you had an hd2 and a supersonic, after 1 week you would use your supersonic more readily, i'm 100% positive.

On the youtube- it works just fine in Skyfire for me. Set Skyfire as the default browser, and then anytime you click a youtube link you get it in Skyfire. Screw the mobile player. The mobile youtube doesn't have all the same content as the full version, so I don't want to use the mobile version at all.

By the way- you can bag on WinMo for HTC skinning it with Sense, but HTC skinned Android with sense too.

All the customizations I do just to make my phone run like an Android? LOL, man listen to yourself here...

Let me explain- Sprint (and the other carriers) along with HTC designs the ROM. Thyey take the core OS that Microsoft gives them, and they load it up with their junkware, and try to cripple things they don't want, and so on. All the customizations you speak of are just removing all that crap. The fact that I can tweak my ROM to get it how I want it just means Microsoft actually got it right. Sprint screwed it up.

Lets see- aside from Slingbox some of the things I use are Word and Excel, Skyfire, iCalendar (automatically puts all the games from your teams in your calendar), Netflix Mobile, Remote Desktop, and Microsoft MyPhone. I'm sure you can do some of these (or even all of them) on Android, but none of them will be as smooth as on Windows Mobile.

everything i mention had nothing to do with htc skin, thats the exact same way it works on the motorola droid. word and excel are a plus but most tp2 users will not use them (of course there is a document viewer for word and excel), netflix is better on the android with phoneflicks aka netflix android, remote desktop is easier for me on the android, you are sadly mistaken, and since i use Google, google sync is better for me then myphone but i never paid or used the advanced features but i'm sorry if thats all you got then you really need to go pick up a android and play with it for a week, you will change your mind.

I have played with a G1 extensively, and there is know way I would trade my Touch Pro 2 for it. By the way, check this out:

As you can see by that comparison, you have the highest spec'd phone on the market right now. That has a lot more to do with it than the OS does. Liek I said, compare an HD2 to a G1 and then come tell me how great Android is, lol.

Something else I use that I forgot to mention is A Personal Assistant. I use the free version form the Windows Marketplace. It has all your bank accounts, bills, even Netflix- all in one app.

And how is netflix better on the Android, lol. On WinMo you can view trailers, and have all the same functionality form the website. What exactly can you do on the Android version that you can't do on the WinMo version. Come on man, I think you're just trying to hate at this point.

Your phone may very well be better than a Touch Pro 2 (to you). But that has less to do with the OS than you think. I can run Android on my Touch Pro 2 right now and it isn't all that.

Come on man, you bought one so you obviously know what it does. Don't try to act like it's just a piece of junk just because you went out and got yourself an iPhone.

Actually I didnt buy it... I got it as a free upgrade from the TP1. And I actually went and did some research since you love using slingbox as a point of reference. http://slingmedia.com/..... slingbox works for winmo, iphone, blackberry and linux so would you please stop using that. You make it seem like winmo is the only platform it works on. I dont need a microsd, I have 32 gigs of space.. and I dont use the tiltscreen...so again what are these functions you speak of?

Your whole argument makes no sense, thats just like saying because I have a Toyota and I get a BMW im not going to think the BMW is better just because I liked the Toyota before... c'mon son.

Its because there ARE none lol.. and anyone realistic about it knows this. I have 2 phones side by side all day everyday and see first hand EVERYDAY how slow winmo is compared to my iphone and my girls droid. I had nothing but good to say about winmo and ive been dedicated to it but im not going to stick with the old when there are better options available.

why would i need to hate, the only thing that makes this phone better is the screen display and the snapdragon processor, NONE of the things i mention have anything to do with display nor speed. Like i said and you acted like you didn't read it, if you had the HD2 and the Supersonic, I GURANTEE you would use your Supersonic and retire your hd2. you read brownhornets post, The Motorola Droid is better then the TP2, and i'm positive i can tweak my tp2 just as good as you can if not better.

So you're comparing a half ass ported version of android that you're dual booting that isnt even fully functional... to winmo? LMFAO!! What about the fact that other phones are so much faster than winmo.. you've tried to address everything EXCEPT that point.

Slingbox does NTO work on the iPhone, lol. Do your hopmework. Apple rejected it, so they resubmitted it and it got approved for WiFi use only. It does NOT work via the phone's internet connection. It DOES do this on the Touch Pro 2.

You don't need a Micro SD. Good for you. I (and a lot of other people too) DO need a Micro SD card. We plan on getting anew phone eventually, and want our stuff to be on it when we do.

My argument is just fine. It's your argument that doesn;t make any sense. You asked what functionality the Touch Pro 2 had over your crappy iPhone and I told you. You responded with a bunch of "I don't care, I don't use that anyway" type stuff. Well good for you, you don't care, you don't use it. Well most of the rest of us around here DO use it, and we DO care about it. And I suspect you'll be like the typical iPhone fanboy jumping for joy when you can finally do this stuff on your iPhone (even thopugh you supposedly don't care about any of it).

You made a car analogy in your post, but it was a crappy one. Let me give you a decent car analogy...

I own a Jeep Wrangler, you own a Toyota Camry. You ask why on earth anyone would want to own a Jeep Wrangler instead of a Camry. I point out that I have 4 wheel drive, I can go on any of the mountain trails around here here and go camping, It pulls my boat, I get good gas mileage, and it's fun to drive. You then respond with "Well I don't care about any of that stuff so your argument is weak." LOL!

That's what I was gonna say. ACTING like a ported version of android is really it. If that's the case all these Leo Rome make our tp2s Leo babies...

There ar eplenty of things the Touch Pro 2 does that the iPhone doesn't. Tethering, Slingbox, and multitasking come to mind. I know, I know, you don't care about it so therefore it doesn't exist in your mind. Right...
