The question is what else can you do with it that can't be done on something else?

thats not the question in the least. a better answer isn't that you can do more, but you can do everything 10x easier and it looks better while your doing it. everything i can do with my tp2 more then likely looks better and is easier to do with android. Not faster like the difference the processor makes but easier and prettier.

For me it is.
Why spend money on something that just repeats what I already do easily but just in a different package.
1 person's 10x easier/better is another 0 benefits.

If android can be proven to give me the FREE apps & easy customization as WM6.1+, & WP7 turns out to be none of that, then I will adopt.

Else, I have everything I need with only the tweaks added onto the stock 6.1. & I am a not chef or dev either.
I'll move forward with tech but not @ any price.

This is a respectful answer, like you said it may not be worth the upgrade and $ just to make life a lil easier, for me its definitely worth it.

In my line of work I get to use several different phones and I have tried a few with the Android OS. The Android OS was snappy and I did like the ability to customize the home screen(s) with widgets. However, being a heavy Exchange mail user, I found the nativie email app to be clunky. Not being able to load my companies cert made using email on the Android OS very combersome. Not being able to search the company's global address list really hurt.

I'm fairly new to Windows Mobile and out of the box, I did not like the Touch Pro 2. The Window Mobile 6.1 home screen, and soft keys just felt very restrictive. Once I purchased and loaded SPB Mobile Shell, I begain to appreciate my Windows Mobile device. Sure, it makes the home screen look a lot like Android and allows customization with widgets. But, the Exchange email integration is great, and that is what I use my device for more than anything. Being able to "check names" to pull from the global address list was very nice.

Honestly out of all the phones I have had a chance to work with, I am most impressed with the Palm Pre, despite the fact that it can be customized the least out of all the devices I have worked on. It was strange how Exchange email seemed to work better on WebOS when compared to Windows Mobile. Simple intuitive features in WebOS made it very slick, easy to use, and functional enough for a business class smartphone.

i used my buddies moto driod and i loved it, android is a great os, coming from a WM fan, its all about preference tho, i like the endless customizations that windows mobile and touchflo3d have, people are able to rip it apart and do just about anything with it, android isnt there yet, but im sure over time it will be right up there with windows mobile

i'll be honest, like drake said, the exchange part is real iffy it doesn't always push immediatly i found out, but fortunately for me i'm not a big exchange user. Actually i don't use it at all anymore, as i don't need work emails immediatly delivered to my device, and for personal life I use google already so this is like a dream come true for me.

I'm a proud TP2 owner and flasher, but honestly OMG it's so much faster, sleeker, better, and everything else you could ever want. If you haven't played with one yet, do yourself a favor and go check one out.

how does it make these things easier ?
1. email from multiple sources ?
2. tethering ?
3. working with office docs ?
4. forcing roaming on or off ?
5. installing lots of apps ?
