Strong Points of the TP2 [over Android]

[redd214]

and tell me isnt anywhere near the same level as googles voice recognition. thats like michael jordan going one on one with an 11 year old, just chalk up and L on that point. winmo just doesnt have anything that compares, sorry.

Win mo has no future just because out of box its sucks.Thats why we all here to make it the way it should be.
But most of the people have no clue what is .cab,.tsk,regedit and when they come to the store to shop of course they will choose supersonic or evo or iphone 4 (front camera and video call is a killer)

BTW I love my TP2 especially after CHT showed up and Since Im with sprint,there is no way to get iphone4 lol

Cheers Vin! Your 6.5.x ROM builds have made my TP2 incredibly solid and loaded with eye candy for many months now. Thanks so much again!

In regard to strong and weak points of each OS, the fully integrated speech to text with Android is a great feature, and something I'd like to see integrated in WM or at least in the forthcoming WP OS. That said, bing and Tellme have been somewhat of a start, but again full integration would be fantastic.

One of the missing Android features that's been major deal breaker for me, was the lack of blue-tooth voice dialing directly from the headset. Thankfully, this issue has just recently been fixed with the Froyo release. Nonetheless, if your Android phone does not have Froyo yet. It's still missing a major phone feature that's been available for years on other platforms. Moreover, the lack of this ability has limited Android's use as an actual phone for myself and many others, as hands free only phone use is the law while driving here.

One thing that I really miss with the capacitive touch only iPhone and Android type screens verses the TP2 and older WM phones, is the ability to use a stylus to write notes, work on diagrams or sketches, get signatures for invoices easily, or just use a finger nail to select something. Plus, it's just nice to have the option to use an accurate down to the pixel stylus instead of having to finger the screen all the time.

As far as my business use goes, the TP2 has no equal yet, largely due to it's keyboard, as well as it's exchange, office, and mobile invoice software integration. For personal use, I think WM, iOS, and Android are all fairly equal when each is unlocked, loaded with apps, and optimized. With regard to speed, obviously the EVO or HD2 or anything with double the processing power and ram outperforms the TP2 or Diamond or older iPhones.

As far as which OS is best, heck, I enjoy modifying my iPhones once jailbroken almost as much as WM when unlocked, and I'm sure I will enjoy tweaking Android as much once rooted. In accordance with full disclosure, my experience with Android is limited to testing out the Droid for a few weeks, the EVO recently for the weekend, and loading 2.1 on my Diamond, TP2, as well as loading Froyo on my old iPhone 3G. My bottom line is that all our current mobile platforms have pluses and minuses, and all have plenty of room for improvement. In turn, it's really up to each user to customize each OS and UI for their specific needs. In that respect, I have really appreciated the great work done through the years by members here at ppcgeeks and over at xda. Without them, WM would suck, as Vin put it so succinctly. IMHO, everyone should just enjoy what they have to the max, be thankful we have many options and great sites to help us modify our systems, and try not to be full of hate or envy.

Best to all,
R

Here is my honest opinion.

I bought my verizon tp2 on launch day and at the time it was the best smartphone money could buy. I've been flashing a bunch of roms but kept coming back to mighty mikes. The phone has been great and the battery life is just kick ass. But I keep feeling that app support was dying on this platform. Since I'm still serving time under a 2 year contract with the tp2, I decided to search craigslist for a moto droid thinking I can get one cheap. So on day 2 of looking, a software developer placed a new moto droid he got from the google i/o conference on craigs for $125. After finally getting the phone activated (don't ask) I instantly fell in love. I rooted the phone and was able to install custom roms (wonderful app called rom manager makes it simple) and I overclocked it to 1ghz without issues, the phone is just a beast. Google navigation just works (the gps picks up very quick and is very accurate); no need for a third party nav program but I do have copilot just in case. So many web browsers to choose from but the best is dolphin hd; best mobile browser I've ever used. The only thing lacking was a video player that played high res xvid but just today I downloaded "rockplayer" and it plays videos like butter. The craigslist and ebay apps are excellent and there is so much more to explore. The entire google experience is excellent. If I use igoogle on my computer all my appointments update instantly on the phone along with my contacts on gmail.
I can really go all day and I've only had the phone for 2 weeks. Today I preordered a droid x at bestbuy finding that reviews and early benchmarks puts the phone at the top of the list. The droid is going to the wife and I'm getting the X. I do hope that microsoft will get their act together with mobile 7 because I really do love the battle that's unfolding in the mobile arena. But I can't help but feel that microsoft let windows mobile out to die.

Its like comparing apples to oranges.

Comes down to preference.

Use what you want, how you want to use it.

If you're not happy....SWITCH

[pimpsuprazx]

and to add to that, if you switch, leave everyone else alone lol, like if you switch to android, dont say windows, sucks, or if you switch to windows, don't say android sucks, we got enough of this winmo vs. android crap right now, and when I say crap its not referring to android, its the situation at hand, so silence
