Brand loyalty is for those who seek acceptance. Believe me you won't get a check from Google if you choose Andorid... etc...

Be who YOU are and get what YOU need. Who cares what anyone says. If iOS did everything I want my phone to do... I would consider a switch. Just try things out and you'll be just fine.

Ugh, on my way to the Sprint store right now to get a new phone. My TP2 has lasted me two years, got it a week after they came out. It still works, but the "phone up" button is missing (the LEDs are blinding bright, should've been on the back of the phone), the speaker is blown (completely my fault) and now the screen autorotates on it's own/doesn't change when I open the keyboard. (probably from when I dropped it the 3rd time)

After I finally got a good custom rom and overclocked it and got running great.

I don't know what I'm gonna do, I really want another TP2, but I want 4G. I also would LOVE to stream fucking Netflix, not a big deal I guess as I normally watch it at the house anyways, but damn that would be killer.

Supposedly there's all these badass new phone coming out in the next two months, I just don't know anymore...

Not till they get things right and standardise 4G and give us batteries that last longer than a fart lingers.
But I'm not holding my breath... So to speak.

I boot into Android with my TP2 and there are a lot of apps, but mostly play stuff. I can do all the Google Maps, voice commands, TellMe, Bing, etc. on WM. I have office apps like excel( even third party ones that will do macros & programming),word, powerpoint and outlook on WM. In short it is a good business phone. There are several good Navigation programs on WM that do not require online internet access.

If WM7 were backwards compatible and would run all the apps I have acquired and tweaked over the years then I would go with it. But, with it being Silverlight based and having to get a new development system and not being able to run WCE/Pocket PC apps, etc. then it is a real downer.

Typical of MS abandoning the masses and requiring developers to buy and learn a new OS and developer tools.

I know Android can open and edit some office files, but not sure it run some of the excel files and controls I now use on WM. It would be great if Android could boot back to WM or even better yet run a VM to allow running some WM apps. Oh well for now, even though I qualify for an upgrade, I am not inclined to do so.

the HTC Arrive is currently the only sprint phone that could stream Netflix. the Netflix for Android app is in the making but hasn't been released yet AFAIK. and as for 4G its basically just a marketing gimmick and battery sucker. 3G is enough to satisfy most if not all computing needs (when it works but I won't go there in this thread).
