STAYING with WinMo

I just bought a TP to mess around with and use as a MP3 player is that bad lol? I don't think I am going to activate it right now, Just don't want to destroy my TP2 while working in the yard and working out. I already have the unlocker and ROM that I am going to use for it downloaded lol.

I'm staying, the EVO seems cool and all, but it's just not doing anything for me. Sometimes you just know what you want, and I know I don't want it. I'm gonna ride this WinMo thing out, and see where it takes me.

I really thought this thread sunk long ago, but I was wrong.

Honest to god, for the last week I've been drooling over the Evo. Especially since I live in the 4G city of Las Vegas.

It's "Oh my god 1GHz" this, "4.3 inch screen with 8 mp camera" that. A lot of hype! Now I'm scared that I've ended up playing into it.

The hardware advantages of the EVO is apparent, it's a great phone! Android is a great OS! My issue is that I really don't want to turn into that kind of person who ends up buying and wanting a new phone every 6 months! (No offence to anyone, but if you can afford it that's great for you)

But me? I used a 2002 Pentium 4 3GHz with a nVidia 7600 GS 512 for 8 years before I upgraded to a 2GHz duo computer that was actually given to me. I stretched the life out of that thing to the max.
Now? I have my Intel Core Duo 2GHz iMac, an Atom Eeepc N270 and a Touch Pro 2. Yeah, I want a new i7 iMac, a Atom D510 or 460 but I don't NEED it.

There is a slight pinnacle though, I feel as if 1GHz phones are going to be the major players very soon. The Qualcomm 7600 just can't cut it to a 1GHz Snapdragon! It's almost twice as fast. But there is a problem with the EVO and other 1GHz phones, they are the first of their kind and in an age of planned obsolescence; something better is right around the corner.

I just read today about Qualcomm's 1.2GHz dual-core mobile processors that are going to be out by the end of the year. There have also been Droid Shadow and other Snapdragon leaks left and right.
Although this is unavoidable; and the mobile version of Moore's Law of pcp will continue.

Moving on... I actually am getting App fever, but in reverse. I use GTX Sense on my Touch Pro 2 and love it. It's my favorite cellphone interface to date. The only problem is that it's a bit laggy and there are already existing faults in Sense that cause multiple complications for me. I mean, for the love of god, if my phone freezes one more time while exiting my text messages I'm going to murder Steve Balmer with a frozen snickers bar! Would it kill HTC to make my TP2 not be incompatible with my SD class 2 card? I want to listen to my music without it pausing!!
What is with this half baked software? I'll just go back to what I said earlier, "I just want my phone to work for me, not me have to work for it." Someone should copyright that and just get it done!

But I digress. I love Cookie's home tab, I love my two rows of apps, calendar, weather and time display all on my home page. My beautiful slider and clean daily planner. SPB TV, so what if your sound doesn't always work for me. I love watching mobile television. OneNote, will Evernote live up to your standards?

My keyboard is so perfect and I want no other substitute. While capacitive is great and all, I do love my stylus and resistive. Decisions decisions!?

While I do have a serious case of EVO fever, I think I'll take a dose of Windows and allow my $200 to continue and burn a hole in my pocket. Well, at least for another week.

Oh, yes. QMeli907, get you Incredible yet? Keep us up to date. I'd like to hear word from fellow/former dedicated WinMo user.

Now I wrote this for a reason. Take my points and use them in my own logic and try and look beyond the hype. For that is why I HATE the iPhone, no one can look at it's faults because they are just so dead set on worshiping it.

Read this thread: Got My Evo_Thoughts after 24hours before you make any upgrade decisions. It proves that Android is having the same problems we are.

still loving windows mobile on my hd2 and touch pro 2...
I mean when my touch pro 2 comes back for repair via htc soon due to the newton ring issue. Above that, I am loving windows mobile. Some of my biggest gripes - the on screen keyboard and multi touch are becoming less and less with resco keyboard and some bsb tweaks. Above that I will go to wp7 and hopefully it will be on my touch hd2 because this demon is too massive for it not to be wp7 unofficially
but yeah windows mobile still

i think the evo satisfies the needs of alot of members here. most just want eye candy and that's what andriod brings. i read some of the threads where folks weren't trying to make their winmo phone work better, just wanted it pretty. congrats to those folks, but i'm sticking with what i know works very well with my pc .

QFT as per usual very good response
but even then android gets dull after you have sensed, ran vanilla, got froyo, ran other customizations
I mean seriously I keep a beta home apk on the incredible because its like windows mobile 6.5 homescreen ffs!
its buggy as heck but it gives me all my information like titanium

im sure the windows phone requires one of those everything data plan.
