I'm sure its a great device I did try one out at a sprint store, only thing I wasn't really feeling was the UI and the keyboard does feel a little cheap. But nonetheless still a great device. But in my experience going from a TP2 to a EVO is a night and day difference. No lags, you can open apps and don't have to worry about running out of mem, data speeds are ridiculous compared to the TP2 even on 3g. You should definately dump the TP2 or keep it as a backup device in favor of one of these newer ones if you are looking for a better overall experience.

Thats the plan stan! Thanks for the input. I will be fat-pawing my EVO in about two weeks time.

I am definitely planning to keep the TP2 for backup. Perhaps I will find a real NOOB friendly ROM for the wife who is infinitely scared of touch screen phones in general. I am thinking of getting her into a Transform or something that might get her away from the Curve.

Put android on the TP2 and let the wife play around with it so she can see what its like. I got the Transform for my wife and she loves it. She was coming from an Instinct, which she absolutely hated for alot of reasons but the lack of a keyboard was a big one. The only reason I hesitated on the Transform was the price for the hardware you were getting. But since sprint gave me a $70 credit to renew the contract anyway, I went with it.

For the OP, you really have to go with what is going to be best for you, which you won't know until you actually start using the different phones. I have zero desire for WP7. I don't like the whole tile layout and don't use facebook, twitter, etc so that social integration does nothing for me. Its new and will take some time to work out the kinks. I tried android a few times, liked it and went that route.

That's some great advice... WP7 isn't for everyone and neither is iOS and neither is Android... Whichi is why I'm so glad we have all these choices.
