I have the HTC Imagio right now. My 30 day trial ends at the beginning of November. What I like about the phone is that there is a free app for practically everything i need- things like wifi tethering, MS office document editing, push hotmail, etc. But the hardware in the HTC Imagio is outdated, so I keep wavering between keeping a WinMo phone, and switching to Android. Everytime I look for an app I would use, WinMo wins. Everytime I compare the hardware, the android wins out.
So I need someone to convince me that Android will not leave me lacking functionality. Some examples...
1) Wifi Tethering- I would like to turn my phone into a wireless router occasionally, to use the 3G internet on my laptop. Is rooting these phones difficult? Would it require me to lose the 2.0 operating system?
2) I've been reading google voice reviews recently for android (on cyrket), and all the recent ones have been really really bad. Is there a problem with this app?
3) How is the interoperability with Windows 7? Is syncing possible? I have TV shows (wmv probabl) to put on my phone. Does it connect to computer via bluetooth easily?
4) I am looking for a nice interface like sense ui/ touchflo 3d. Are there good android widgets or something else to make the phone look impressive?
5) Is android battery life same/good/better than an equivalent WM phone?
6) Is the OS easily customizable? For example, Verizon installed their MediaFlo software on the Imagio, which I didn't need. Within days, someone figured out how to go into the registry and completely remove MediaFlo from startup.
7) What other "killer" apps are available for Android that would convince me to return my Imagio?
Now, please, convince me to switch to an Andriod OS.
