yup.

Sling Mobile runs perfectly in my TP2 & in my ipod touch.

Until Android suports it, I'm not switching.

dual boot wm6.5.3 and droid. run linux. run a custom rom like bigad's maxsense 6/3 6.5.3 rom.. omg.. stereo mics. stereo speakers. turn screen off automatically when i put the phone in the pocket. Run several different browsers. Run youtube in skyfire w/o an app. Run my phone as an access point with unlimited? connections... have all kinds of software not apps... the list goes on....

I think it's limited to 5 wifi connections...

But on topic, I think that WM os is the mosat customizable os out there. Visually, progrmatically, etc. Plus like solarflex said, if you feel the droid bug, just dual boot it on your TP2.

doesnt hold a candle to the real thing!!

but i can somewhat agree with your 1st point. perhaps i dont know how to do it yet but virtually every app i have installed on my tp2 has the dusk theme on it. wmp, weather bug, s2u2, almost everything.

Yeah I'm sure it's not even close to the real thing, but i think some ppl want to jump to it w/o even knowing the functionality of the OS. If theyre curious, they can dual boot and see if they wanna go further and get the real deal.

And as far as skinning goes, I've got my whole setup on the new GTX theme and it rocks! Matching start menu/program icons, wallpapers, tab icons, boot screens... I'm not sure how locked down the droid OS is, but im pretty sure you cant do that kind of stuff on the iPhone...

My TP2 does SERO. That's enough for me to keep it as long as I possibly can.

Well said!

I love nothing more than booting over to Android when people start smack talking WinMo. If that doesn't please them, then Ubuntu usually does.

But I will also state that with all this tweaking comes a lot of fixing. I have a class 2, 2GB SD card and I have to underclock Android in order to run it successfully. If not, I end up corrupting my SD card. Although that's what happens when you run software on a device that it's not intended to run.

On the other hand, all these features come with consequences. While most of the issues I have with my Touch Pro 2 is centered around Sense, there are a few WinMo problems here and there.

Honestly, I really am unsure as to where I want to go right now. Just today I was scoping out the Android Marketplace on my father's Droid and wasn't impressed. I skimmed through all the utility and tool applications and there was nothing worthwhile.
Though I'm sure the Android community could supply me with worthwhile software.

Here are my only questions.
- I'm running a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 Sprint ROM, is there any other stabler 6.5 ROMs out there?
- Is running a 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.5 missing anything?
- And last but not least. As well as the Android issue, my music always pauses because of my SD card. Can anyone suggest a better media player than Sense's and WM player?

EDIT* Sorry I couldnt resist... In all reality I do hope that everyone that jumped ship to the EVO is enjoyng their new toys! makes me almost jealous to a certain degree... Ive learned that just cuz its new and cool doesnt mean its the best out there... then again im sure ill be buying a WP7 device as soon as they drop...

They fixed the SD card issue, but it's incompatible if you root your EVO.

To your EDIT*
I feel the same. I just don't want to pay $200 on an EVO then want the next Android/WinPhone that comes out.

Keeping up with the Jones is trying, expensive and never ending.

much more customizable software (and can update software without buying new device)

5 row keyboard (best keyboard i've ever used)

it's more like an extension of your computer

That's why I love my TP2 so much. It just feels like I'm using my netbook, although I'm sure Android could give you the same mobile PC vibe.
