      alright so I just opened up the boxes we just got here at radioshack from sprint and it was just flyer crap but ones about rebates and listed under smartphones for a $100 mail-in rebate is the HTC Hero. But These offers end on 10/31/09.

        So, I'm self-admittedly Android-stupid......is that platform superior to WM?

          well its new so theres not as many apps and stuff yet and well I think its alot more user friendly but not lacking any of the power really plus you have google funding whatever tehy want this OS to do its kinda moving pretty fast not to mention its a open source OS so theres alot of independent developers working on it. Right now though I would say its prolly compairable to windows sense they have intergrated almost full Flash support. Its alot like the Point Ui in terms of you get widgets and stuff. I like it I have been running it on my HTC Vogue for awhile now. I dunno its prolly up to the person I liked WinMo alot but Android is so much easier to do stuff with as far as changing the look and feel.

                    Looks good! The price is a lot more reasonable than the Pro 2 also. I think this will be the one to pull me away from WinMo.

                      Yeah and the phone comes out october 11th. Mail in rebates always have an end date and then on 11/1 there will be new ones with more than likely same exact pricing and same phones.

                            Yeah I was just talking about android in general it still doesnt have quite as many apps out for it but I meen I think they got most of the bases covered if you go searching for it. And yeah as far as the user interface I said point UI cause its about the only thing that I have seen that is similar but I cant say enough how easy the android OS is to use I like WinMO pretty much just for a few games that I cant find on Android but im sure that wont take long ot change.

                              it gets hard from time to time when you have to type a longer email on the go or text message...... sometimes can be a hassle but you can always get a bluetooth keyboard and just pair with that as needed.

                              yeah android has more than just the apps we have here, they have many more free apps or small priced apps in the app store and game store..... pretty much any program on wm is being made for android now a days..... as i keep saying it may be what takes me from wm straight up..... getting the hero for surebut need my wm phone though for sure in the tp2
