Should the chefs start helping Android?

Don't take it personally bud. It's just an opinion.

If I could make ROM's for myself, I would, but it still wouldn't change the fact the WinMo is a pig with Sense for lipstick.

My brother has already returned his EVO twice for Android related issues... So as far as being reliable, I guess you got lucky but you can't say I'm wrong when I witness first hand him bringing his brand new phone in more than I bring in my year and half old phone... Android shit should just stay in the Android forum IMO, Android has nothing to do with WinMo and a large majority of us love WinMo for the time being... Sucks that there are so many haters...

I am not a hater of WinMo per se, I am a hater or WinMo on the TP2.

Android, in such a short time, is far more mature (in general) than Windows Mobile. I am so impressed with the integration of apps. It does so many of the things I always wished WM would do. Of course, having a huge screen (EVO) and nearly twice the processor don't hurt performance, which has been a welcome change, too. Still, I might could stand the sluggishness I experienced at times if the integration was there. I want to be able to have information pushed and pulled to and from one app to another, like contacts. And, I don't agree that Sense 2.5 in a custom ROM is the main culprit of the slowdowns. Months ago, when I tried Android on my TP2, w/o overclocking or anything, it was so much faster and smoother to use than WM. Even the stock 6.1 ROM was not as smooth as that.

I thought my TP2 was the best phone I'd ever had, and it was, but I am finding it easy to move away from WM and to Android. It is amazing how far it has come so rapidly.

P.S. I do miss Bing, though. The traffic from Google is hopelessly outdated by the time the information gets to my phone. I always found Bing did a much better job with hardly any delay in getting accurate traffic info.

You think if Windows Mobile just came out it wouldn't be far more mature than the competitors as well..?? Your comparing a brand new O/S to something that's aged and prospered for quite a while... Again, this is an apples/oranges topic....

I can say, as an htc hero user who came from a blackjack 2/vogue/diamond, that android is far more stable than ay of my windows phones were. My hero has a 528 mhz processor and, even while running multiple apps at the same time with the htc sense framework running in the background, is still pretty snappy.

More on the subject, this question is both irrelevant and unrealistic. That's like asking windows xp programmers to help modify ubuntu kernel structures. Just because you are a dev doesn't mean you can develop for everything. The chefs at this point have made their choice of platform.

I'm not saying they will be able to do it either. I'm just saying that out of all of us, the cooks are probably the more technically inclined and coule therefore, probably, offer the most help.

As for this, i'm sure there are chefs that, no matter how much time they spent with android, still couldn't get their hands dirtier than i do in android. I'm not trying to say that i'm the shit and know everything about android, but it just makes sense to me. The way windows mobile works has never seemed logical or efficient to me, so i could never really wrap my head around it's math. Android, on the other hand, is very tailored to the way i think and i can therefore delve deeper than a lot of people much faster.

How does every Android thread eventually turn into a WM vs Android opinions and preferences? More importantly, where are all the SERO people????

I think Sprint had the last few SERO hold outs offed. They were costing too much money!

My opinion on the whole thing. I've used the touch pro2 and htc hd2 and played with the samsung Moment.
This whole speed thing is ridiculous. My TP2 was faster than my daughters ipod touch and the moments I have played with. This is using my own cooked ROM and SPB MS. I will agree that sense is a problem on the tp2.

Now on my HD2, I am running energy's ROM (23569) with sense and cht and the thing just blazes. Yes apps take a few seconds to open. That is the case with all phones unless they are minimized in the background. Even the vaunted iphone/ipod touch takes time to open apps, it just gives you a pretty screen to stare at while it does it, instead of a spinning wheel.

It comes down to preference. It is nice to use some of the same programs for the last several years. I'm not against android, but I also don't understand the popularity. I think it is for the closet iphone fanboys. In public they bash the iphone, but secretly wanted one all along. Android is the compromise.

I switched to the hd2 for WinMo, the hardware specs and honestly, t-mobile's data speeds blow sprints out of the water. It should hold me over till the second gen wp7 devices come out and then I'll decide where to go.
