[Q] is winmo7 worth waiting for over android?

I'm on the old SERO plan from sprint and loath to lose it. I was planning on waiting until some winmo7 phones were out before deciding if i should jump ship, or at least upgrade to a new phone.
I found out that starting tomorrow sprint is going to be offering an upgrade option to sero users which will still be significantly cheaper then the regular plans, but allow me to use any phone they offer. I was strongly considering the EVO, or possibly the possibly the epic. Not sure if i prefer a bigger screen over a brighter screen with a keyboard or not.
Anyhow, i don't know much about winmo7. My current phone is winmo6.5 (touch pro 2) and i've installed a copy of android on it. Other then the glitches causes by running a hacked copy of android, i like android.
Just wondering what the opinions are here as far as the winmo7 operating system compared to android and what the hardware running winmo7 is going to look like compared to the epic or evo ?
thanks

so you already have the feel of the general look/feel of android through the use of the rom you have on your phone now. i suggest looking at pocketnow's videos on WP7 to make up your own mind.
http://pocketnow.com/tag/wp7-videos
This will help you get started with whether or not WP7 is to your liking, and whether you see it as something that can meet your expectations of what you would like in your next smartphone.
Of note, I was reading an article that has rumoured from Wallstreet Journal that AT&T will be the only carrier at launch to hold WP7 devices, so you may have to wait till Q1 2011 to get a device on any other US network. Or you could try and buy it outright if you can, and continue using your current plan.

WP7 isn't coming to sprint or verizon for another year or so. MS says 6 months, but I think its gonna be anywhere from 6-12 months.
http://blogs.computerworld.com/1698...ws_phone_7_launch_what_was_microsoft_thinking
So unless you can wait for WP7 to come on Sprint or switch carriers, it will be a long time before you own a device like that. By the end of october, the general public should have the final release of WP7 and by then you will have plenty of reviews comparing WP7 to Android, iOS, and a squirrel so you will have plenty of information to make a judgement.

of course Omni pretty much has his head up his butt with his guess, so ignore it. Microsoft has actually stated "First half of 2011, and that's being conservative"...so yeah, could be 6 months, could be less...could even be a lot less.

I'm probably going to go with the evo. Gonna see if i can find a local store that has the evo and epic in stock so i can compare them first.

Can't go wrong with any device really. The Epic and Evo are both great phones. I don't think I'd be willing to wait.

I might not wait either. Looks like the price i thought the phones were selling for on ebay isn't any better then sprint - although at least i still avoid a 2 year contract. One phone i was bidding for on ebay sold for just about the same exact price as sprint. Then again - i'll also avoid sales tax on ebay. So - maybe it is worth the wait

scratch that - got lucky - just snagged one for $330. Used for 1 month but supposed to be in perfect condition and with all the misc that comes with it. Seems like a good deal to me since that's $100 cheaper then what i would have paid through sprint, and i dont have to extend my contract either.

How about you let people who know what they're talking about do the talking, as dumbasses usually don't know what they're talking about?
Did you ever think that in what you just quoted, "conservative" can go either way? As in that's AT LEAST how long it will take? Everyone is pointing to and MS is alluding to mid 2011 release, which falls into the 6-12 month window I and other said.
lol, less than 6 months? Thats march 2011 and before.

Nice, I'm trying to either buy a fascinate or Dinc digitizer replacement since I got a few scratches on my screen. I really would love the fascinate for that hummingbird.

i know you've already sought after another phone, but just so you know T-Mobile will be in on it as well, so it won't be just AT&T.

Yeah, but i really wanted to stay on sprint because i'm on the old sero plan and NO ONE can beat $30/month for what i get. And someone on here told me that sprint is going to offer an upgrade path to sero users. I'll be paying a little more then what i pay now, but it'll still be way cheaper then any other plan. So sprint has managed to get me to handcuff myself to them

all good . well hopefully WP can improve and capture the hearts of those "wait-and-see" companies and you'll see it on Sprint when you decide next to update.

No.
I'm not going to list all the reasons now, but Android is much better.

Personally, I'm still waiting with Android. There is no way I'm jumping ship to Android before it gets universal firmware updates straight from Google. It's a complete fiasco right now.
Hopefully the rumor that it's coming in Gingerbread is true.

I assume gingerbread is the next version/update to android? I'm not worried about firmware updates. Seems like there's enough hacking going on that I'll probably wind up installing a hacked rom anyhow, instead of the official version.
Still waiting to get the phone. Probably get it in the mail tomorrow or monday.

1) You can always install ROMs from XDA.
2) Android phones in general are updated faster than all other phones (iPhone, BB,...).

How committed to your EVO are you?

As many if you have read, some pretty amazing new phones are coming out early next year including the dual core Snapdragon and Tegra 2 models. With dedicated GPU's, higher clock speeds and reduced die sizes (better battery life), these are sure to make our EVO's look like PS2's by comparison. The tech temptation will be extreme.
So, the question is, will you stick with your EVO:
1) Until it dies of old age.
2) Until your contract runs out and you can get a new discounted phone on contract.
3) Go for early upgrade (I think you can do it after a year if you are a Sprint Premier Customer).
4) Bite the bullet and pay full price just to have the latest and greatest.
Personally, I'll probably do the annual upgrade. I can never resist new tech, but I still can't see paying $600 for a new phone off contract ;-)

I probably will keep it for a good while, I mean I'll get another phone, but keep my Evo... it's just so reliable

Before the evo I always used phones with physical keyboards. It took me a while to get used to typing on the evo. However, now I don't know if I could go back to a physical keyboard since typing on this is so fast.

Well...I paid out of pocket for my Evo as well as my wife's(both bought second hand about 2 months after release), I did this since we had the extra cash and we realised that dual core models were around the corner(and most likely carrying a hefty price) so why not save our upgrades for that! Yes we both love our Evo's and will keep them for sure as back ups for a long time, BUT you better believe when the 2nd Gen dual core devices(early adopters always seem to get screwed) hit Sprint shelves we will upgrade!

I have to have the latest device from HTC with Sprint...so as soon as something new comes out better than the Evo I will have it. I will still have an Evo on my account as well though. (4 lines open)

I will wait until my contract runs out (or as soon as I can get a discounted price) and get a new one. Not because I don't love the EVO, I just need the latest and greatest as I'm sure a lot of people on this site do.

I'm married to my Evo, but I might keep a younger, faster sancha on the side...

has anyone really stayed dedicated to their phone when the new bright shiny faster model comes out? the evo is probably htc's best phone to date "been rocking htc since the 6700" and when they come out with something better, ill put this bad boy on metro and make my money back like the past 4 htc's ive owned

Love it but not married to it lolz
I usually "upgrade" phones whenever the Full discount from my Service Provider is up.

I will probably upgrade as soon as I can get the newer "better" phone on the cheap. I WILL NOT pay $600 for a phone

depends on if a phone comes out that just blows me away before my upgrade discount is available in june.

$200 was a great price point for the EVO. If they do the same for a dual core, I'll be using my Sprint Premiere after a year.

Depends on several things. I paid full price for the evo and im contract free now.
So chances are I would change. I like the evo but I also like new "toys"

I love my evo but i have to say that i would wait for my contract to be up before i get a new phone unless i absolutley positivley have to have it!

I bought my Evo 2 weeks after launch. Had it during that up until the G2 was released. Sold the Evo and bought the G2. My main reason was the physical keyboard. I was tired of the hassle of touch typing so I gave in and went with this phone. While I sometimes miss the larger screen, I am extremely happy with my decision.

I read the G2 can be overclocked to 1.9 MHz. I personally find that hard to believe as my snapdragon will only go to 1.19.

not stablely. it can make it to 1.57 stable with the right rom otherwise its 1.489 the evo can be clocked to 1.257 stable again with the right rom but the snapdragon in the g2 is a new updated version of our snapdragon that has been severlly underclocked.

New phones are usually first shown at the trade shows early in the year like CES. They usually don't become available until Spring like the Incredible which was April or May, and the EVO on June 4th. If that holds true next year, we probably won't have anything new available for about another 5-6 months. The biggest thing for me is screen size. I've used my buddies Incredible, and a couple friends have the Epic and I really don't want anything with a screen any smaller than the EVO. I am a premier customer so I get upgrades every year. I love new toys but it would have to be pretty great to pull me away from my EVO.

Indeed some awesome phones coming out and I'm definitely a sucker for new toys but I will wait until something really catches my interest in every aspect of the device. The Shift talk has got me thinking about physical keys again even though I was convinced I was over them. Basically just looking for a new true step up. The Evo will still get use in some manner though. I love this phone so I won't just jump at the next big thing unless it really is necessary. Then again, I have a problem with passing up cool stuff.
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC

I usually buy a new phone once a year when my upgrade date comes along. It's my "major purchase" of the year. I will sometimes wait an extra six months or so if I hear a new phone is coming out that I think I'll really like.
I just upgraded to the Evo last month. I gave my Hero to my girlfriend so she could get rid of her Palm Pre. We're both happier now. When the time comes I will upgrade and give her my Evo. She likes new phones, but she doesn't need to be as far along the curve as I feel the need to be.

Is this the phone to get?

I currently have a Samsung Fascinate and planning to selling it because of lack of some features in Froyo and probably future updates in general.
Is this the phone to get as in terms of software development progress? (In verizon of course). Or is Droid 2 or X good as well? (not liking the X because it's too big).
I don't play games whatsoever on this phone. TBh, most important feature is just getting things done very quickly; Music, E-Mail, Browsing, GPS, SMS/MMS.
Thank you.

Nah, this isn't the phone to get. Verizon has a Powerhouse lineup coming out very soon including the thunderbolt and an LG smartphone ( and the iPhone, being announced tomorrow ).
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App

Of course I'm a little bias but yes, I think as of now this is the phone to have. The development community rocks, and it is a very quick phone. Now there are some awesome phones on the horizon; the HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto Droid Bionic. But considering you can get a DInc at Best Buy for free (with a new contract or available upgrade of course) it is a sweet deal. As far as what's currently out I haven't checked the Droid 2 forums but I did check out the X just to see how it was coming, and it's nothing compared to what we have over here. Just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth.

You said "(In verizon of course)." Are you thinking of running the stock ROM? Or plan to root and run some of the great ROMs the devs here put out?
Since you said 'Verizon', makes me think you're planning to run stock. If so, beware that even the Thunderbolt is shipping with Froyo. My guess is we won't see Gingerbread (officially) until spring or summer.

thank you everyone for your reply!
I meant Verizon as in, I am restricted to phones that Verizon carries. I don't really stay stock, if I do, I'd at least have a ULV Kernel.
If I sell this now, I'll need to use a dumb phone until whatever phone I need comes out. I wonder if I can order the iPhone tomorrow on the website... kind of tempting.
Anyway, thanks everyone!

I own both the Fascinate and the Incredible. I'd buy another Incredible over any other Verizon phone if I had to buy today. If I could wait I'd buy the Thunderbolt.

When are these coming out? I don't want to be without one of these things for more than a month or so...
The choice is basically Incredible, D2G, or D2X ($50, $150, $120 respectively from Amazon to upgrade on my brothers upgrade eligible line) if the iPhone reallyy comes out tomorrow, I'd have to think about this all over again -.-

Personally it was the only choice for me. I think many of the new phones are getting toooooo big. Tho phone is the perfect size for me. If is also very very fast. I still have to get use to the screen keyboard. All my old phones had a keyboard. But that is not too bad.
So, my vote is yes. The size and speed makes it he best phone I have played with.

Out of the phones you mentioned I would get an inc. Locked bootloaders + laggy stuttering stock launchers on motoblur devices make mad. Sense (especially the new sense) just feels really solid and polished
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

There is a thread I made that shows all the ROMs (that are up to date with development) to show how awesome our dev community is. The incredible is an awesome phone. I am moving to the iPhone because I've wanted one since I switched to VZW, but if you want to stay with android and you are in the sub-4" market... go with the incredible. It is the heat.
The thread I mentioned is at the top of the droid incredible development page, as a sticky.

Ok so iPhone announced preorders begin Feb 3rd releases Feb 10th, if you want to stay Android get the Thunderbolt, Motorola does a horrible job with android phones and the Droid and Droid X community's are dead, if you get an Incredible your getting us, the great community but you could be getting the 4g LTE with the thunderbolt. In conclusion YOUR BETTER OFF GETTING THE THUNDERBOLT!

What is the deal with upgrades at January 16th?
I have the discount pricing for additional family line (my little brother) available for use, that's why I was considering the 3 phones because they're not that pricey at Amazon.com or Newegg.com with contract.
Bloody hell, I would be stuck with a dumbphone until those new phones come out.. and I heard Verizon might do a more expensive plan for 4G phones?

lol iphone,, um negative.. hell im gonna leave verizon.. tired of paying out the arse.. lol gonna go to virgin mobile.. ( samsung intercept ) <----ya i know but for 27 bucks a month its worth it.. not to mention still have my DINC to play with over wifi...
I realized I didnt use alot of junk outside of facebook. last.f.m. and a few other apps. so the intercept will work just fine.. and still have 3g service..

I'm sure 4G would cost more.. it is 8x faster... but only 1/3 of their 3G is covered with 4G.. do us without have to pay.. if so, **** that. ill get a fascinate to be my play around phone then lol. 4g isn't that important to me, either is 2.3, nor 3.0.. i had 1.5 on my eris that was rock solid. ever since that freak hype for 2.1 it has ruined it for me. I will never let myself get that excited for an update again, esp considering how long that wait was for what felt like nothing. I think that is what the Thunderbolt is gunna be like, since 2/3 of the 3g population won't have 4g service it will basically be an incredible with a 4.3 screen, stand, sound, and second gen snapdragon or whatever.

Same here.

i went from the fascinate to the Dinc for the same reasons you did, and couldn't be happier. There just wasn't a solid DEV community for that phone.. coming to the DINC was night and day.. so many choices, so much support.. I run the MIUI ROM and love it..

I left the D2 for the Incredible and have zero regrets. If you want to have custom ROMs and kernels, you have to stick with HTC. X/2 ROMs are really hamstrung by the locked bootloader.
The development scene on the Incredible is great and probably as good as it will get on Verizon for the foreseeable future. The Thunderbolt will get custom ROMs and kernels just the same, but public sentiment seems to indicate it won't be as popular - meaning a slightly smaller development community (though perhaps Incredible and EVO ports will be relatively simple).
All that said, I'm probably going to jump on the Thunderbolt the day its released

I love the inc, but i would also wait.
I would actually wait until I see a phone that has the dev support/community like the Inc.
For me, where the dev support goes is where I go.

Not sure if I should buy the Epic Touch.

I'm really on the fence when it comes to buying this. On the one hand it's seems like a really great phone with really great specs. I would be coming from the Samsung Epic.
On the other hand I'm really puzzled by how this phone is being released. Unlike the Evo,Epic and Nexus there is really a lukewarm reception as far as the retailers go. We're at launch day and places like Best buy, Radio shack are not really showing much interest.
The phone was released in Europe 10 months ago and seems like the US retailers are treating it as such. The low price $99 from Walmarts to the lackluster offerings from the retailers.
With the changes Sprint has made canceling Premier cutting the return time from 30 to 14 days and increasing the ETF. I wondering if they are just trying to get people to use their upgrade on what they consider a lesser/cheaper phone. So less people will use it on the Nexus Prime,Iphone 5.
I would really appreciate people opinions on this. I have my upgrade and cash in hand today. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm right there with you. I've had my upgrade for a while and have just been waiting. I am honestly now waiting for the iPhone 5 specs to be released. Depending on how it looks I will buy it or the epic touch. I still prefer android but I like trying all os's. As far as the prime goes..I don't think sprint will get it in 2011

If Sprint doesn't get the Prime this year then I'm afraid I'll have to ditch my Nexus S and get the Epic Touch. I just hope it gets Cyanogen Mod

OMG! It is hard to make decision about this E4GT, I know it has the best camera and high resolution as far as I know. I am using Photon 4G, it is great phone as well with dual networks (world phone), it is convenient when you step out from USA, you just pop in pre-paid gsm card, then you can connect the world. Gee, the hardest decision that I need to make. Any thoughts?

I am truely upset about how Sprint went about releasing this phone. I was able to preorder the EVO 3D a month before it was available at Bestbuy. Now, Bestbuy doesn't even know what the Epic Touch is. And it's release day....

I am kind of with you. I want the prime so I am waiting at least a few weeks I think to see.

Does anyone know if I will be able to get the phone at a discount price, since I'm not eligible yet till 3/23/2012. The phone plan is 3 Evo's and another cheap phone that does have an upgrade option. I want to get this phone, but I'm also interested in seeing the iphone 5

I just got it about 20 minutes ago and couldn't be happier. Coming from the evo 4g, the difference is night and day. You can natively ditch any bloatware. So much faster and lighter. I absolutely love this phone...and highly recommend it.
Btw, and im not sure how, but my gf and I both upgraded our phones on the same account and it only cost us $200 combined. We both sold back our evo's for $88 each. This was all done throu a sprint store...Brent, if you happen to read this THANKS BRO!!!
Finally, they confirmed that the nexus prime will be a verizon only phone. Not sure if that is true or not so you can take that for what you will.

Verizon has exclusivity for the nexus prime but no one knows for how long. It's gonna have to be released on the other carriers but may not for some time.
Also, I just got back from my Sprint store where I played with the E4GT and it is simply mind blasting! The screen is so beautiful..my NS4G screen was dwarfed next to it...and of course the employees had downloaded all the benchmark apps. Quadrant was 3400 I am really having trouble fighting off the urges to get this phone...screw the iphone 5, lol

This phone is simply fantastic. So very glad I got it.
Sent from my Epic 4g Touch

I bit the bullet and got it!! haha well at least i have 2 weeks to decide to keep it. hopefully by then the iphone 5 will be announced and unless it is mind blowing, ill keep E4GT

I am in the same boat as the OP, I am upgrade eligible but don't want to jump in because of the next few phone announcements. I am also puzzled about how hush hush this release is, makes it seem like the phone is not important.
I was playing around with it in the Sprint store today and it is an absolutely beautiful phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I love that device, hopefully the phone has good battery life as well. The only thing I was not sure about was how large the phone is, may not be so comfy in your jeans.

Early upgrade or not?

Debating whether to upgrade from my SGS. I got it last year and T-mob say i can add the remaining 4 months contract onto a new 18 month contract.
Is the phone worth it?

I'd say wait until the GS3 is announced and make decisions then. It's a great phone , everything runs brilliantly for me apart from a few games and battery life is pretty good.

Wait for a month or so, you can see many of us are having sorts of issues with the screen and such. Until we get some form of official statement it's not worth the hassle of going through replacements.
By then SGS3 might have been announced and production of HOXs may have improved....

Definitely.
It's an amazing device that makes iFans very jealous when you show them
There are a few software issues at the minute (nothing at all major despite what you may read on here) but it is still THE BEST Smartphone to date.

Is two years not too long for a phone. The thought of moving from 18 to 24 worries me.
Will the phone be 2 year future proof?
I did get my SGS about a year and a bit after the launch and its only just getting "past it"

Why do you have to get a 24-month contract? You can do 12-monthers with Vodafone.
And in terms of being future proof, it definitely will be. Especially when a quad-optimized Jellybean is out. Oh that and the X has a lot of developer support on here so it certainly won't be left behind

Maybe this is fate, just called t-mob to buy out my contract and take out a new one. Out of stock!
I think its a sign to be patient

Took the plunge... But Tmobile are out of stock.
