This is a ridiculous list. A majority of your things have nothing to do with the phone, but rather the developers. There are a ton of things that "Droid" phones can do that the TP2 cant.

Unified speech to text in EVERY text field
Shoot 720P video
HDMI out 720P video
Wireless N
Flash

Thats just to name a few and isn't even beginning to bridge the field of APPS, which Android puts a hurting on windows mobile with. Also, Android looks a lot nicer overall than windows mobile does, and is certainly more finger friendly. It is updated with real world improvements every few months, instead of basically no updates to windows mobile for the last couple years, unless you are REALLY counting finger friendly menus and hexagon start menu from 6.5.

The Tp2 is a great phone that is hindered by an OS that was great YEARS ago and hasn't stayed current or evolved at all. "Droid" phones have pretty much everything on your list, multiple roms, multiple amazing developers, certainly more apps that are useable and functional than windows mobile, etc, etc.

No need to crap on what is probably the best mobile OS out right now just because windows mobile is dying. Its a great OS, and hopefully it will be ported to our TP2's so those of us who are cheap and haven't already abandoned this platform because we are on SERO can get some of that delicious droid love too.



Edit: Seriously, to the Android haters out there, load up even the buggy AOSP build on your TP2 and you will be amazed even during the startup tutorial at how stupidly smart the OS is. The tiniest things like auto capitalizing the first letter of each "word" in a Name field of text. Those things are impressive.

No need for 3 GPS on Android. Free Google Maps/Navigation.

To the OP, that is a good list. Well put together.

I loved my TP2, but now have Incredible. Not gunna hate in this thread, so good luck to all TP2 users. Cheers

here we go again....
seriously, give me 2 weeks with an HD2 and it will do laps around any android device.

So far I've yet to see an Android device running any version of winmo or even windows CE... meanwhile we have devices like the Vogue which is three almost four GENERATIONS past it's lifecycle running eclair....that's gotta count for something right?

Because of this alone and the further potential it holds for the future, winmo wins in my book.

Flame away, I'm fireproof.

3. The updates and constant changings.

4. Damn near every App. on Droid you can get on windows.

5. Maxsense, a growning U.I. that is the SHIZZ-NIT.

6. All the people that help, the community.

7. All the different CABS. and ZIPS; Themes (different colors) and customs.

8. CHEF's: ERG, VINN, Mr.X (still using some of his app. in all the different ROM's I flash) and Mighty.

9. Then your SATODS and BignAdad (I call him BIGGS)

10. I think the TP2 (HD2) has more fans.

So on that note; I'll wait to get a DROID phone as long as they have the TOP TEN, MY TP2 IS A TEN, Till they come out with something that has all the above.

Please tell me what you think.

P.S. I'm still a noob... LMAO

wow where to start lol. ive still got plenty of love for my tp2 (actually typing on it now) but your list my friend, honestly its not very well thought out to say the least.

lets review it:

1. Roms: android has roms (probably not as many though, but honestly the quality seems to be waning with each new "chef" in the upgrade forum. no offense to anyone)

2. CHT' well android will never have cht obviously but with widgets on android you can accomplish EVERYTHING cht does and more

3. Updates/changes: not sure what u mean here. if you mean updates/changes to software well its the same on android, programs get updated. if you mean all of the random builds of winmo that leak out, well android has new builds coming out as well
4. no explanation needed

5. just like cht, unless max gets an android phone, maxsense will never be on android however with widgets you can do EVERYTHING maxsense does on android

6. android has a large/helpful community just like this one

7. well android uses apks but its virtually the same thing. android has downloadable themes just like winmo so this entire point is really a wash

8. while i havent flashed my incredible (no need to really, oh and its for sale btw ) there are many talented chefs for most popular android phones just like winmo. you may not know them by name but theyre just as talented and skilled as the guys you mentioned

9. no clue what u mean here. perhaps you are refering to the mods santod and bignand make. well there are plenty of people who are making similar mods as theirs with android also im sure

10. so you are waiting to get a droid phone till it has more fans??? huh? dont really understand this one either but android has a remarkable following and its growing by leaps and bounds.

well there you go bobbyblack. so which android phone are you gonna get....?

sorry redd, but the android custom ROMs are way behind WinMo in functionality. Even calk seems to be having some problems. New OS, takes time to learn and android isn't there yet.

lol what?! which funtionality is missing from the android roms? just becuase calk is having issues doesnt mean the os is the problem. like you said, its a new os for HIM and he has to learn it.
