STAYING with WinMo

[w7excursion]

I would leave out the BB OS. I am getting the new phone cravings though. Come on wp7. My upgrade is coming in October.

There's no logic whatsoever in actually choosing to have to scour the internet for old apps as compared to NEW apps... with better interfaces... that are developed constantly and kept up to date.

Customization. More of a pain than a gain. Just like the roms are nice, but almost..well not almost, every single one of them has SOME kind of bug that you just have to suck up and swallow. And on top of that Android is just as customizable WITHOUT needing to do all of the unnecessary tweaks just to make the phone run like it should out of the box anyways.

As far as other OS' cant even begin to compare to it.. that part is just a joke. Constant freezes, sleep of death, old apps... SLOW.. the only real benefit is exchange and even that isnt an issue with the new Android 2.1 update. It seems to me like people are just afraid of change or something but it's no secret that the majority of android's new customers come from winmo. I had a tp2 and switched and pretty much everything about it is better to me. Personally winmo doesnt offer anything that would make me stick with an outdated OS.. and as far as WP7 being better... you mean the iphone clone? SMH... none of the other OS touch it but they took pretty much a carbon copy of what Apple did and threw WP7 on it. Irony.

brownhornet, try Mightyrom.

In addition to the crazy speed, I have had NO issues whatsoever, and I've been running the rom for nearly two months now. Just do a task29, flash the rom, and boom... your tweaking is done.

Oh yeah, and another thing. A lot of winmo's apps may be old, but they work perfectly (depending on which one you install). And as a result, you get a phone that works like you want it with minimal tweaking involved. Nearly ANYONE, even those who worship good looks on their devices, would choose my phone over any OS out there. The only thing that might change their minds is their built in hate for winmo, no matter how good it runs.

I'm kicking this P.O.S. to the curve! Tired of the phone (6.5) freezing in key/important situations, plus all the new OS's will be basically copying iphones OS, so Y stay, when eventually you'll be forced to choose, Apple, android, or W7. Plus Eventually it will become obsolete and you'll be forced to upgrade, whether its due to lack of support or phone replacement.

I long left winmo but there wasnt a rom here I didnt try when I had my tp2.

Still dealing with random crashes, battery drain outs overnight etc. Movign on to Android. I started with the Treo 600 using the palm os and was thrilled to move to a multitasking enviornment with the PPC 6700. Now 5 winmobile phones later (all with their individual problems), I am glad to leave.

+1 here too....but isn't there a new energy rom out this morning with the new max sense? Sleep is over rated.....

I'm sticking with WinMo for now. Compared with blackberry, the browser and PIM apps are better (although I think the BB is a much more "efficient" device to use).

Android looks very promising, but still has some shortcomings. My IT department isn't satisfied with the secure email/PIM capabilities so we have to use a product from "Good Messaging" if we want our corp stuff on an Android device -- no thanks.

My TP2 does everything I need right now and I've spent way too much time messing around and tweaking it with custom ROMs/apps, but I enjoy it.

Long term, I may switch to Android or Blackberry since google is rapidly fixing Android's shortcomings and RIM reports that they will address browsing limitation. We'll also have to see if MS delivers on the Win7 hype.

But for now, it's WinMo for me...

Future Isnt to Bright for you guys staying on winmo

the best way to get quality apps is with a high quantity of developers. seems devs are jumping off winmo faster than the titanic! im sure you guys here and at xda will keep the platform alive for some time but theres only so much you can do with a platform thats doesnt have a lot of support, theres only so many reg edits you can do. i can agree that android does has some (very few) shortcomings especially in the enterprise arena, but personally i decided to jump off the sinking winmo ship before my toes hit the water the switch was inevitable, figured it would be better to do sooner rather than later. still love my tp2 though, still use it in some way almost everyday and doubt i will ever get rid of it!

good luck guys!

[hoihtah]

i'm staying... but only until my contract ends.
i should never say never... but i will never look back at winmo... no not even wp7.

Hey redd...
You think people aren't developing because they don't want to develop for the platform... Or because they will be developing something totally different as soon as wp7 comes out so why waste time developing for an OS that will no longer be supported by Microsoft due to the new OS?
Why do you think we don't have an official Pandora app for Windows 6x but they already announced the one for wp7?
New phone with new OS new development once phone is out.
Just my thoughts.
