I've had my hd2 since new and haven't had those problems. but I know you didn't give it much of a chance because you loathe winmo :).

I actually dont hate winmo I just didnt realize how much I didnt like it until I made the switch. There is just too much "having to settle" with it.. settle for old apps, settle for freezes & sod, settle for having to make reg edits to get basic functionality.. it was cool while it lasted but looking back it was kinda like when you have that honda accord you tolerated because it just worked.. then you got a zr1 corvette.

1- Ability to individually set sounds/vibration for all notifications on the phone.
2- MS Exchange syncing my tasks.

Thats it for now.

I really like the EVO, it is a fantastic phone, and I must say I enjoy using it more than my TP2 (so far). However, this is not due to the OS and more so due to the phone. I had the Moment for a litle while and absolutely hated it, I much rather preferred my TP2 to the Moment.

You can set individual notifications...

Basically.. I changed all of my notification sounds from ringtones to alarm clocks to text messages to twitter notifications..etc. I dont get where folks hear some of this stuff. And it's already a known fact that slingbox has already said their app for android is set to be released this summer and is in testing right now.

I was referring to all the money you made from the slickdeals thread.

Again i will wait till a new phone comes out with a snapdragon in it for win mob.

I even called sprint and told them i want a EVO and that i have this plan 7 phones and pay 140$ per month and i have all the perks.

The only way i can get the EVO would be to open a whole new account.I would have to have 2 accounts cause if i drop 1 line off this plan it saves me nothing since i pay nothing for the extra lines on my account LOL.

So i would have to get the ED450 and then they would still give me the 10/24 it is in my notes.And my corp Discount would bring it down to around 50$ per month.

If it was only like 20$ more per month i would do it but as i stated it is not worth it to me to jump for that much of a change.

if the slingbox on evo is gonna b full screen then its gonna look 100x better than it does on my pro2, the only thing i miss about my pro2 is customizing the taskbar & detailed things like that.

But there will be a win Mob 1z soon just like after all the other Android releases.

Sprint will wait till the sales start to slow down before they do.Which is smart.

except by the time a snapdragon windows device comes to sprint it will be windows phone 7 which is totally rebuilt so its not going to be the same comparison that we're making now

You might not see another phone with a Snapdragon sporting Windows Mobile because M$ has pumped the break on it......they're not supporting it anymore! Any phone you see should have Windows Phone 7....from what I'v heard those phone can only run off a Snapdragon or a Tegra!
