I really don't have any...I think you should try them all, and then decide

. What works for some may not work with others, I'm just really impressed that this is a conversation and not a flamewar

.

Thats true, but the thing is, I live in a relitivly small area outside of austin and the sprint stores around here dont offer half the things sprint carries.

So i cant really try them all. And I dont want to go get a phone and change my contract only to decide I hate the device.

I mean I know that I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep the phone and I am able to return it or exchange it what ever the case may be, But it still changed my contract.

Since I was grandfathered into SERO from my old nextel account, I dont want to loose this plane because Im sure they are more then willing to take it from me since I cant really get any new phone with out changing it.
They couldnt stress that enough >.>

In any case, I would like to get as much information as possible befor going in blindly and grabbing phones I know nothing about
I would much rather go in with a good idea and know what to look for.

As far as it being a convesation rather then a war, Ive NEVER been in a thread that was just garbage and mudslinging lol

I choose the HD7 because I decided to ride the WP7 train from scratch, after long thought ( I still cheat and use my HD2 via WiFi..I'm telling you, it's the best winmo phone..ever

*), if you're into tweaking and hacking, go Android. If you like it simple, iPhone or WP7 or BB is for you..but try it 1st!

I'd say go with a WP7 device. Either the Arrive or one of the Mango devices that will be coming.
I really think it's the wave of the future. You could go with Android now because you say you want to mod and tinker but I can see you ending up with a WP device. Who's to say that you couldn't end up being a developer for WP and make some cool keyboards and taskbars.

As far as the typing goes, I type WAY to fast for my tp2 to keep up with. I'll be like 10 words ahead of it at any givin time...

you can preconfigure the speed in the custom roms so that it keeps up.

And its not just a 10 dollar fee, its 2 10 dollar fees.
Im on SERO 500.
I need to go SERO premium to get any android device.
And then SERO premium plus data for any win 7 or 4g phone

Each of wich is an added 10 bucks hence the 20 dollar raise.

oh in that case..as far as raw hardware kyracera echo has the best hardware for a none 4g android phone..

Quote:

Now with the epic 4g, is that a newer device?
I mean comparitivly to whats around now, Im sure its newer then what im lugging around at the moment

its not..new new..its 1 year old...but its new enough to have 4g hence 4g fee...

Well to be honest, im surprised that the WP7 hasnt been cracked yet.
I havnt seen anything yet like ive seen for the other windows 6.5 and such.

Now I know its conciderably newer but id expect SOMETHING lol
at the very least a keyboard skin.

But I just havnt seen anything personally. Have you found anything?
If somethings out there then that means I just might jump on and try and make the first keyboard skin for that damn phone lol

I dont mind working had so long as there a way to get this done

is there a app like total comander or somthing to be able rip files out of the \windows directory?

cause if so then I might have to take a seriouse look into it

Black Berrys are not for me AT ALL lol
the keyboards are way too small for me lol

Iphone I know can eventually be hacked to end up however I want.
Im not too worried about that.

But I dont like simple at all lol

I'll answer your question with another question...

What windows directory? >.>

It took like 2 years for people to hack the Zune's CE kernel to get into the filesystem...not saying it will take WP7 that long but atm the development isn't there..at least yet...

The creators of Total commander do have an app for android though lol

So in other words no, there is no way to pull files yet
