I would have gone to the hero when it first came out.

There are my two exact reasons! If my plan would only go up about $10 a month and they had a phone in the same form factor as the TP2 with a smooth working Android OS I'd be gone.

Being able to customize my UI to my liking is the only reason I'm still on WinMo...

That and the fact that my contract isn't up for renewal until June 2011 angry9:

In life, I have never found being the "first in" or the "last out" to be good policy. Too early for Android, IMO

While I have to admit that the Android interface is a little smoother and faster, I still won't buy an Android phone as my main line (maybe some day as a second phone...)

Why? Because Android doesn't have nearly the same level of customization or depth that WinMo has. And when I say "customization" I'm not talking about being able to move a couple of widgets around the Android screen. I'm talking about regedits, customs UIs, full access to the file system, etc... With WinMo, if you don't like the virtual keyboard popping up all the time? Boom, regedit to kill it. Don't like the stock taskbar? Install one of the many floating around in this forum alone. Don't like the UI? Turn off Sense, and use Titanium, SPB, or one of the many others available for WinMo. Hate having to set your phone back up from scratch after a reset? Sashimi or UC to the rescue... the list goes on and on. Android can't do all of this

Point is, WinMo is COMPLETELY customizable. Android, while many try to claim it is, is not as "hackable" as WinMo - even when you're rooted

As previously mentioned, Android is a little smoother and faster, but a large part of the speed and smoothness of Android is due to the fact that Android phones are newer and running faster hardware (like 1GHz snapdragons, for example) which makes them seem faster. WP7 should be just as fast once it's released and running similar hardware

That being said, some people like how Android is just clean and easy to use (why do you think half of all Android users are teenagers :wink: ). They're not the type of people (like many of us here at PPCG) that like to tweak and hack and customize until our little heart is content. I'm not trying to bash Android users here. On the contrary; For them the Android works perfectly and I'm very happy they found a phone they like. This isn't a war where only one OS can be right and the rest are wrong... It all depends on what you want from your phone

But I prefer a level of depth and customization that Android just simply doesn't offer

Because the Evo has not been released yet.
