But first my Motorola Milestone Android 2.0 review has to be finished. After that i’ll publish the last part of my “windows mobile to android” series explaining the main differences between both OS.

Thanks for your quick reply. My point is, what if a WM user is considering switching to an Android phone not from HTC, it wont have HTC sense of-course. Please don’t be vendor specific in your review.

You can highlight the differences for different types of users. By types i mean some ppl like multimedia features, other are business users etc etc.

You can comment on Android’s music playback, movie formats supported, camera, gaming (2D/3D), blue-tooth, wifi, GPS, PIM, OS response to the user, any Android specific limitations (e.g like windows at the moment doesn’t support multi-touch and i heard Android doesn’t run programs installed on SD card), user communities available (like xda developers and many others in case of windows mobile), free/paid software available…. the list goes on and on

Its a long list and you don’t have to comment on everything, the point is to share your experience by highlighting the new features you found in Android and the features you miss from Windows Mobile and an overall conclusion without being tied to a specific vendor or device.

Thanks,

i agree that a lot of information of my articles is about the HTC Hero, HTC Sense and it’s features. Mainly because i think you should know a device as detailed as possible before switching to it. I added to each article title an additional part i.e. “HTC Sense widgets review” to make clear what the main purpose of the article is. And actually i did mention differences to windows mobile in the review series on occasions where i found them to be interesting (in example comparing HTC Sense calendar to wm calendar/pocket informant, or mentioning the wm browsers in part 4 of my review series). Especially in this widget part though i concentrated on HTC Sense in order to give as much of a detailed insight as possible of what HTC Sense widgets offer.

I have read all articles the big pages like engadget published about the HTC Hero, but none of them went the whole way to show off all HTC Sense apps and HTC Sense widgets and layouts in detail. I think this is a very important information if you plan to switch to a new device, and therefore an additional value of my articles.

All of this doesn’t change the fact, that i’m a longterm Windows Mobile user who switched to Android, so i think it’s ok that i use the pre-title for my review series.

Having said that, i value your input and think it does make a lot of sense to make a final part of this review series, where i’ll write especially about differences between windows mobile and android as well as their pros and cons. I haved used the HTC Hero for some time now, and have a much deeper insight to Android so i think i’ll be able to share some interesting experiences.

If you have any special questions don’t hesitate to ask, and i will try to answer them on my next article.

By looking at the title, it seems that your article is going to be experience of a “long term Windows Mobile user who has switched to Android” and is sharing his experience by giving a contrast between Windows Mobile and Android that will help people like me to decide whether or not move to Android. But the only information you gave is a review of HTC Hero (plenty of that already on internet) and HTC Sense UI on Android. But no experience sharing of your migration.

I was really searching for such an article and i found yours, but i am disappointed.
