Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?

Yeah! Cause everyone here knows that you dont have to Hack WM just to get basic functionality out of it lol
Android can download any file type with one simple app added on. Is it a big deal to have to add an app? Probably not any harder than copy and pasting a link lol. I guess since WM is so capable right out of the box you probably haven't changed anything on your TP2 or added any apps to it have you?

Actually no, I havent had to hack this to get it to do basic stuff... My tp2 tethers out the box no reg edits or rooting or etc.. My tp2 downloads any file out the box, my tp2 saves apps to the sd card out the box..... The only thing I can say I added that it didnt come with that should have came stock is coreplayer for all the vids.......

Everything else I have are just apps, fun apps n stuff, but as far as needing apps for everything basic like saving apps, No my tp2 dont need that........

Im on a stock rom and it does alot more out the box than android, I jjust named some........ Those which I dont need a app for...

also, Notice the lack of attachments in the droid thread.... Why is that????? Because either ya gottaay for em and posting here would be a no no, or the damn thing cant download it.....lol

Enough with Winmo vs Android... You enjoy android, Ill enjoy winmo........ It does more out the box I just proved it, and thats only a few............

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?

meh.. WinMo is still the king.. for versatility and customization, end of story.

Sure it's having a lull while Android gets some primetime, but mark my words, winmo7 with the new high speed CPUs, will knock Android the f**k out..or at least give Android a black eye

Android is still essentially a niche market and will remain so. BTW i think Android isn't too bad, but winmo gets my vote every single time.

In the latest testing verizon has done, lte usually maxes out at 16 mbps in realworld usage, though its capable of 100 mbps, Wimax is maxing out at the same in real world, but is capable of upto 70 mbps, so what is the difference?
Who cares, anyways, untill we have hardware that can truly take advantage of what those technologies offer, who cares about who has what if the maxing are speeds are so similar. Plus when Sprint finishes it rolls, anytime along that line they can choose to switch to lte, and hopefully by then hardware and battery tech can take advantage of what it can offer.

You are very under informed on Android. Android is way more capable than WM and everything works well without all the glitches that WM had. I'm not here to sell you Android, if you want to like WM thats your prerogative, but you keep stating fallacies about Android as facts because you lack experience with the OS. Android also tethers, with (you guessed it) a free app. When I used WM to tether (less than 2 months ago) it required a custom ROM. There's no need to install apps to the SD card, I have 118 apps on mine and have only used half of the 256mb of internal memory. Only the .exe of the app installs on the phone all the data for the apps actually goes to the SD card automatically. There are very few attachments in the Android forum because most programs dont install from your computer, so most apps are posted as links rather than attachments. You're also wrong about paying for apps, around 80% of the 18,000 apps available for android are free, and the ones that arent free are less than 5.00. Once again you also mention not being to download things, which is also false. All apps for android can be downloaded without problem. If you want to download files that arent recognized by default, all you have to do is download one app that allows any file type to be downloaded to the phone. Like I said, I dont care if you like Android or not, but posting incorrect info as fact just isnt cool.

Have you not seen how easy it is to customize Android? Just like almost every other android user on this forum I spent a lot of time with WM before I got an Android device. Android is gaining market share fast and doesnt show any signs of slowing. Most news sources predict Android to be second, right behind the iphone in 2012

I loved WM, and if WM 7 is amazing then I'll go back to WM, but to compare the two operating systems right now, WM doesnt stand a chance. I would like for WM to come back, but I predict that Android, Blackberry and iPhone will continue to steamroll WM.

Maybe in another year if WinMo 7 comes out things will change, but right now, its total garbage and that's why M$ gave up on it and is starting fresh.
There's nothing wrong with WinMo that *gasp* a little customization and tweaking doesn't fix. Which is exactly what you have to do on the iPhone just to get it into Jailbroken mode. I'd call -that- 'total garbage'.

That's what bothers me about these fanatics. Its like if you dare mention something else, all of a sudden you get called a troll. I like technology for technologies sake, I don't have any loyalty for anyone or any company and that's how it should be. Weak minded people are too scared of options.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?

I had an iphone and think the android based devices are sweet but I have come back to windows because I like customizing it from the basic setup we all love/hate but what I am hoping for is being able to get the HD2 (I have the Touch Pro 2 right now) and be able to run android and windows not of course at the same time but choose one then reboot and bam up comes android, choose windows and reboot bam you have windows. Is there anymore word on mobile 7? Looking forward to all the great skins and apps coming in the near future let the battles rage.....................they are all getting better all the time.
