i have a windows phone and i'm loving it the same way as android,
its better than iphone and its super sleek and fast,
but android is better than WP in some ways but based on the devices that i have the WP is faster
I can't get over the fact that Windows Phone is based on those fairly large boxes, so I'd stick with Android.
Have to say for using as a stock device WP7 is much sleeker and smoother.
But for lack of applications and mods in WPA7, I would pick my HTC Incredible S over my Nokia Lumia 800 any day of the of the week

If you go for a windows phone get wp8 as wp7 phones can't be upgraded to wp8 and so you won't be able to use certain features and apps on the wp7 models.

I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.
Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
dude... windows sucks.
their pc sucks, their phones suck, everything about windows screams "we only care about money!!!" and they dont even give u good stuff for it.
but if u even need to ask this question, then either u dont own an android, or u do, and u simply have no idea of the incredible peice of technology you have in your hands and the unlimited possibilities that are at ur finger tips...
but hey, thats just my two cents..
Android and Linux to the end!!
No , just no . Android phones are simply better stick with it
I will stick to android itself thank you ppl

Let's be objective...
Hi,
I have to say that I love android for so many reasons such as the freedom it gives you in terms of customization... Nevertheless I had a chance to try a Lumia 710 and I was impressed by the responsiveness of the phone. In my opinion it depends a lot on what kind of user you are...whether you like to mod your phone or simply use it.....

In terms of battery life, CPU performance and other functions that make it a good phone...
It depends what you are going to use your phone for and it basically comes down to personal preference. I have a hTC Desire and i think its the best phone i have ever owned. I rooted it and i am running AuraxTSense, a custom ROM, if your new to Android, if you root your phone you void the warranty and in the process you carry what ever risks come with it. Good OEMS to do research on are Samsung, Motorola, hTC & LG. They have handsets catered to every type of user.
Captivate! Hands down.
I'm a fan of the samsung fascinate. Check it out!

Samsung Vibrant
I have yet to install other ROMs on it, as i am having trouble, but until then i have the android OS 2.2 Froyo on my vibrant with T-Mobile. The Battery power isn't fantastic, wont last longer than a day, sometimes not a full day, but the music, web, and apps are great! I hear some ROMs are great for battery power so if they really do help, the vibrant is a great phone.
Galaxy s.

Samsung Galaxy is nice. You can go for HTC models also.
oh come on guys its the {Samsung Nexus S}
I can suggest you motorola or acer (Better in my region but assistance will be little bad)
htc desire,highly recommended!samsung builds quality phones as well but they are the worst when it comes to longtime support of their hardware (not that it matters when you are on xda already ;-) )
Nexus S .
I vote Nexus S. I've owned a lot of android phones and this thing is hands down the absolute best. Lack of SD card annoys a lot of people though.

I think I would go with Galaxy S
I would wait for the EVO 3d
if the thunderbolt had at least a 1600mah battery it would win for sure even now its a beast. but when the evo 3d comes out it will be the **** (specs wise +1730mah batt)

I'm using an x10. Wouldn't advise this, tbh, but thanks to XDA I've had 2.2 and 2.3 roms, and it's a beautifully built phone. Basically, you need to find out what you need from your phone. If it's only calls/txts you need, get a Nokia 3310: it does the job admirably(still). But if you want to browse, check emails, play games, personalize, experiment, annoy your wife/girlfriend/kids, get any android phone that is gonna be supported beyond 2.1 Or if the latter parts don't apply, get an iOS or symbian phone...

My next android phone will the one that has the most active developers/hackers. Your hardware is only as good as the software it runs. There is no point in buying a phone if hardly anything is being developed for it. I want greatest selection in rom's and apps. Which handset should I go for?
i've got a nexus one, and there are quite a large selection of roms, themes and apps. And its got pretty impressive hardware and looks stunning. I've got one, and love it.
I would say just being what it is and know that the nexus 1 is awesome. Get a nexus s. Or get a evo shift. I have one and its a quick little bugger

The problem with this is that the amount of developers change with every new device release. Never get a phone based on the number of developers that said phone has. You will learn that as soon as a new device is released alot of developers sell their current device to get the new one.

The HD2 is a legend and will always hold a great geek factor. The nexus well that depends on how many jump ship. It will be OK for at least a year untilled Google releases the next version and then you will see development slow on the device.

a) Not many people here are interested
b) Even if people are interested, no one is skilled enough to do it
c) It's not completely legal to port microsoft stuff. It's not open source like android.
don't think it can be done, and comming from a windows phone I don't hope it can
maybe getting HTC Surround these days just because of its hardware

Even if someone did port, who cares? It's not like there's any demand for it.
On the flipside, I wouldn't mind vice-versa as I have alway found the Windows HTC models looked better than the Android ones imo.
Installing windows mobile on a perfectly good DS should be a punishable offence.
i have used my friend's windows phone 7 device(before i started using custom roms) for 5-10mins(i know that its very brief) & i seemed to like it a quite a bit,mostly because it seemed faster (when i was on stock ROM)
is there something im missing?or is it just that the brief time i spent fiddling with the phone not enough to tell me enough about the device?
(im just curious )

WebOS was miles ahead of android and ios. You shouldn't base your decision on the touchpad, a device released after WebOS died and by a different company.

Actually i used the pre as well. Webos does multi-tasking really really well and i like the OS but i don't like the lack of apps. I guarantee that people will go back to android unless we can get android apps running on webos.
If WebOS was still around, it'd be a better competitor to Android than Windows Phone is.
If I have nothing else to work on during that time I will look into it. I used to own a touchpad (look at my sig, but it was before i just sold it for a nexus 7 ) and I loved the OS. Its card view is fantastic.
The app store is what killed it though
Still it would be an awesome experience to port it.
I'd be willing to test stuff for you.
I'd absolutely love this. The only thing webOS is missing is some solid hardware!

I'm hoping for and evo shift or evo port. But any who the Touch pad dies not because of HP alone but the lack of advertisement. I feel as if the Touchpad was probably advertised it would have had a better User and Dev response. But with Open WebOS on the Horizon maybe we can add some more apps and maybe better visual customization then what we have currently.

I'd say the lack of apps was because of the lack of decent hardware. I know a lot of people who owned webOS devices at one point and miss the OS dearly, but Palm (and later the bozos at HP) were simply never able to provide any good hardware to upgrade too. The Touchpad was a plastic-y whale, and the Pre 3 was actually quite nice but never got released. Go figure, when they do manage to build a decent device they don't launch it. I don't understand why, but Palm was just never able to put together a hardware dev team worth squat.
I had a pre for a year and while I loved webos.. The hardware reminded me of a cheap Samsung phone...
I don't miss webos nearly as much as I used to because android now has so many aspects of webos....
I'd be down to test a port just for some nostalgia
