Do you guys ever WORK with your phone?
I am running WM 6.5 on an HD2, and struggled to get to Android without having to tip all my personal data to google services. When I managed to sync PIM without going through google’s servers, and I finally got to TESTING android for my job, well, it’s TOTAL DESOLATION.

You need to play in a virtual cafeteria? Fine.
You need to track your workout sessions? Fine.
You need flashy UI and fingerfriendliness? Fine.
You want a way to easily find applications in one place? VERY fine.

…you need a spreadsheet that actually DOES ITS JOB and a database app which satifies your needs? You’re welcome to code it yourself.

Yeah, because pocket excel in PocketPC 2002 (yeah, pocketpc 2002, even before the concept of “windows mobile” existed) was better than any spreadsheet app you find lying in the market.

Let’s just NOT talk about the bundled calendar app.

Puh-lease!

Por lo que yo tenia entendido. Android no es tan solo un sistema operativo….. mas que eso tiene nucleo linux, eso quiere decir que es libre ante todo tipo de aplicacion y modificacion. Ya que como todos sabemos el nucleo linux es libre de toda restriccion.
Asique por lo que mi conclusion es que Android es un nucleo al cual le puedes poner Windows Mobile 6.5 sin problema alguno.

En el caso de que alguien tenga algun tipo de problema con Android ya sea como sistema opertaivo o como nucleo (porque se puede tener Windows Mobile 6.5 con nucleo Android), es porque mal utilizar sus funciones, ocurre con lo mismo con linux, cuando no sabes utilizarlos te pones a hacer modificaciones y como no tienes restricciones, no te percatas de los problemas que ocacionas. En conclusion lo hechas a perder.

Si alguien no esta acuerdo con mi opinion que me lo haga saber, y que tenga unos buenos fundamentos, con el fin de que nadie quede como ignorante.
Todo lo que he dicho es porque he investigado. Si alguien sabe mas, por favor me lo hace saber.

I have switched from the Touch Pro to the Sprint EVO 4G. As im not too keen on the Android operating platform, i am amazed at how fast it operates, but this is only due to the hardware. If i could get Windows Mobile on this sucker… OMG, EPIC!

ohh.. just to add one more.. in droid, it is a mess after adding a FB account to the contact manager. I even see my deleted messages on “history”..!! No way of deleting the history in Droid !!.. Feel droid has a longer way to go in terms of UI. May be droid is better in Kernal-wise.

Hi all,
I recently migrated from my WM6.1 to Android 2.1. But I really miss the rich UI feel i had in WM. May be I was adicted to WM. However, In android all things are “big big” and feels function-wise less rich than WM had to offer. Take a simple look at the default contact manager screen in droid 2.1, I miss the Names with numbers list !!.. I was using “Myphone” with WM those days so that I did not had the complaint on cloud sync with outlook too.. I still sit on the fence about WM or Droid yet having owning a droid. Can anybody help me by telling me a way to list names with numbers together in “Droid default contact manager” ???

All i am going to say to you people who think Android is oooh so better than WinMo, think again… Perhaps you haven’t heard of the Custom ROMs that are being developed everyday that changes the whole WinMo experience, and boosts it to a whole new level of performance and stability. Yea so what, Android has a nice UI, but you should really look into what the people at XDA are doing for WinMo AND Android devices. New MaxSense UI that, IMO, makes Android look like an old Commador64.

If your phones hardware is suitable for multitasking, WinMo should not have a problem doing it. Its not WinMo thats the problem, its the manufacturers of the devices WinMo gets put onto. Yea, linux has a slightly smaller footprint than Windows does, thus, giving it the ability to run alittle smoother on older systems than Windows. But i dont think people should try and rag on WinMo, just cause they had some old arse smartphone with a 50Mhz processor and 2MB or RAM, trying to run a OS. Oh and for the people who think OpenSource is better than proprietary, PFFFFT! Never heard of a Opensource Certification…. But i have heard of Microsoft Certification…. I just don’t trust it. If some jokers come out with something to compete with MS, they will compete, but MS will never lose. They are pretty much the founding fathers of the OS world. Aside from Apple.

Yeah, Android and their 50,000+ (and growing) apps can’t compete with Windows and their 200 (two hundred) apps. Oh, and let’s give Windows the winner too for being a proprietary OS which is much, much better than an open standard OS. Plus, Windows supports MSNBC and their propaganda, so they are the clear winner there too. Yes, Windows is the clear winner.

Sincerely,

Bill Gates

This article was written by Microsoft. What a joke! Yeah, Android and their 50,000+ (and growing) apps can’t compete with Windows and their 200 (two hundred) apps.

my spelling is horrible i know get over it!
PHONES mda, g1, behold 2, cliq and cliq xt, hd2 i have had all for at least 2 weeks
ok so i use wm now but i am obsessed with android. i will have to say that as to my experience with the 2 os’s as of now wm would win buy fetchers but use ability and apps would go to android. of the 2 flat os’s with no pretty covers (tuchwiz sucks) android for shere with that cover like htc seans i call it a tie. as for multi-tasking wm gits my vote but android is not far back at all my androids would slow and get glitchy if i had over 6 things going at once witch it not hard to do and some say if you have to many messiges it would mess with it to (has not hapend to me but i have heard of it) cant say for all but my hd2 is super fast and im sere its partly the s.d. prosser but its a wm phone so as unfare as it is it counts. apps android all the way better looking and more usable so many are free wow love android apps but storing the apps makes me cry. so little space form less then 100mb to 150 or so (not sere of nexis one) wm with apps on sd (without rooting) a must have for all phones. syncing is easy on both if you know what your doing i sync my Google to my wm and use Microsoft direct push for email and a 2nt set of contacts. so ether way google of wm 6 to one half dusin to another its all the same to me if i had to pick it would (sorry google)be wm for all email in real time (google is only gmail in real time)over all as of now and looking only at the 6 phones i will not porting android to my hd2 but i think the foucher android will really kill all the competition its just not there yet when i pay 300+ for something i want it to do what i want when i want to with out rooting or cracking cant wate to see wp7 and the next gen android phone if it gets snap dragon and apps to sd (would like wifi router too) im back on android 200% android has bin out not 3 years now its not a teen yet. when its all worked out it will be the best hands down!
