why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
I'm still on TP2... but only because my plan doesn't support android phones.

Sero FTW!:thumbleft: That and a good slide out keyboard

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

waiting for a 1GHz device to drop on Sprint...hey...whaddayaknow...here comes the EVO 4G. I might bite on the Nexus One...but I'm leaning toward the EVO

Change pretty much for the most part, I have been running WM since the days of HP's Jornada 548.

SERO and Keyboard. Can't live w/o my NES emulator with real keys... Love it. Smartgear rocks..

It was between the Droid, Droid Eris or TP2. The Droid's build quality was crappy (imo). The Eris was nice but the TP2's keyboard was too much to pass up. I would take an awesome keyboard over Android any day.

$30/month SERO, 3.6" screen and keyboard = win.

I agree! Except for the part about the flaws lol! I know there might be a few of them on my TP2 somewhere, but I sure can't find it...

Go winmo!

My only complaint is the lag. Even with flashed roms you still see lag here and there and the high ram usage which you gotta reset every now and then.

I messed with my friends [phone which shall not be named in this forum] you know the one made by that fruity company? and it is majorly quick, especially swapping screens.
Weight of the phone? who cares...i'm a guy!

I love everything else about the phone especially compared to all the other crap offered by sprint.

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
because Android doesnt really do anything my WinMo device cant already do... not anything that i do with them anyways...

its just a different UI that i dont even really like as far as im concerned...and differnt apps.. so what.. from the looks of things so far, i have no interest at all in "Windows i dont know what to call my new line anymore 7 phone".. i have 4 lines, so im getting an EVO too.. but im getting it for the speed, not for Android.. as far as im concerned Android is the drawback to me getting an EVO..

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
why havent i switched to android?
No device out there except the EVo(for specs) has attracted me,my tp2 does everything i need it to.Doesn't matter what platform it is.The TP2 succeeds in my book.I don't see the big + in android i really don't if ya ask me wm the way it is now is just fine...

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
ok speakin for someone who has tried the 2 android fones on sprint and kept coming back to the tp2

I didn't like the moment keyboard and the battery life was horrible, but that was fixed with the sprint update...the cam was nice, I must admit, but I think that was the lack of flash on the tp2 talkin. the fact that the moment had no light or anything to notify that you had a txt or vm , you just either had to catch the sound when it happened, which was low, or constantly check it to see, plus alot of my friends couldn't hear me as good either. and some apps that worked on the Hero didn't work on the moment...

Now for the Hero, I liked this alot better than the moment, but once again I missed my TP2, I hate typing on a small screen and actually the fone was a lil too small and girly for me LOL, no but honestly it was small, I constantly had to keep checkin if I still had it in my pocket... I like the UI and Apps, the cam was better, but the main thing is I really couldn't get pass was the onscreen type and the battery life wasn't the best, but the no lag I loved...it may just be me but after awhile on my 6.5 rom on my tp2, updating twitter slows the whole system down...

SO the evo is for me, I'm gonna love it! It's worth talkin my mom into changin her plan so I can get an early upgrade LOL. I already used my brothers to get the Hero. But I also see wm as a failing OS, the fact that even Apple realized the joy of multitasking to put it in OS 4 and Windows decides to take it out??? That was a key feature of windows.... I'm just soo ready to go to android and stay there for a few years!

Sero...

Although the EVO will likely change that.

will the evo have a physical keyboard?

Becuase of the lack of enterprise support

...and we will welcome you back to Android with open arms, sorta like that welcome back to Comcast from FiOs commercial lol. I feel you on the keyboard though, it was a huge sacrifice giving up my TP2 enormous screen for a smaller one, but Swype has made it very easier to type on the Hero, and overall I'm happy with my decision. Now June needs to hurry up so I can get me Evo!

Only reason is cause stupid sprint won't allow android on SERO. So Im stuck with WinMo. Plus my SERO has call any 3 numbers and 10% discount attached to it so I only pay $27 plus tax to get unlmtd text and web. Although I might give it all up for the EVO. I guess I'll wait and see how it does. So far Windows Phone 7 doesn't look too good.

if the 10% is an employee discount, that should stay w/ the newer plans..also some people have kept their pick3.

I got offered pick 1 (aka "phone home" for free) but the plan is $69.99, not $27

because the touch hd2 is sexy as heck!
its an orgasm in my eyes and the speed my god its fast...everything just works...and custom roms make it better!

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
Do the Android phones sync seamlessly to MS Outlook now? This was a big problem when I purchased my TP2. I just want to plug the phone into the cradle and have it sync my contacts - not move things from Outlook to Gmail or whatever...that's just lame. Unless there is a direct sync interface, I can't see how I'll ever get to Android.

Also, I heard that you could not make voice command calls from a bluetooth headset on Android. Has this been resolved?

These two issues were show-stoppers for me. My wife has an Eris and is pretty happy with it, but I would have gone crazy if the TP2 weren't available. And yes, the keyboard makes all the difference in the world.

If Android was running on the TP2 with a Snapdragon processor and without the above problems, yes, I would jump to Android.

Well, when they drop a 4G phone with a physical keyboard I'll switch if it runs MSDOS haha.

furiousgtz 04-20-2010 10:55 AM

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
because I have really awesome plan and best perks and its not "compatible" with android or webos so tp2 wins

troubledrican 04-20-2010 11:01 AM

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
a couple of reasons. the main one being androids lack of a descent video player @nd also windows mobile rules. imean what can u do to android. its an iphone clone. what you see is what you get. sure you can download 3000 apps but at the end of the day your interface will still look the same. with windows mobile you have funcionality plus customization. ill take that anyday of the week

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
I'm switched as soon as the EVO comes out. I have no problem giving up my SERO plan for it. The TP2 is too big, heavy and slow. If I didn't have a SERO I certainly wouldn't have the TP2.

If you think the TP2 is too big, the Evo is HUGE LIEK XBOX

I really dont think a phone that big would look good with a keyboard underneath. Itd be a brick. The onscreen KB is massive. Ive been a hardcore physical keyboard guy, but the one the Evo is awesome

i feel you on that one i love WM but even the biggest fan would be lying if they said that is wasnt dying out. i have a hava media player which does the same as slingbox and when they release an android app for it i feel that it will be time to change. especially since they are going to have skyfire, since that and tv was the main to things i loved about my phone.

iknight8 04-20-2010 11:49 AM

Re: why have you not switch to andriod? curious...
 
yeah SERO plan... i wish they wud let us use any type of phones! would be nice... but either Android or WinMo is good for me :)
