Why is Android better than WM6.5 or 7.0?
Why all the hoopla about the Android Droid phone?
I would think WM6.5 should be much more developed and stable.

Not really. Windows Mobile is pretty plain jane and unstable for the most part.

You should get back on the boat and shovel off to whatever dream-world you just sallied in from.
I'll never again by a Microsoft product that has been on the shelf less the 12 months, desktop or handheld. They are absolute garbage because they're trying to make proprietary software that can function on dozens of hardware platforms.

Windows mobile has come a long long way. The omnia and some of the newer devices are awesome, but... For to many years they produced crap and left a bad taste for most. As far as stable goes, they still have some fixing to do before they are on par with a Blackberry IMO. They still have to many glitches, eat batteries, and love to lock up.... but still there are some nice models out there so if you like it have at it, but I am not giving up my Blackberry...well maybe for Droid

I have 2 Omnia phones that I will happily trade you for pretty much any other smart-phone or blackberry device. The word awesome should never be used when talking about the Omnia unless you are trying to find a word to explain how unresponsive the touchscreen is and the level of frustration that it creates for it's users.
...
I agree with you. I have the first Omnia and i really hate it more than any other phone I have ever owned.

LOL Sorry, but it is still giving up a RIM device for a Motorola and I never thought that I would read that in print again.

I am not being mean, but I can't believe you put windows and stable in the same sentence. There is nothing stable about windows at all. I am a software designer and they suck trust me. Their desktop/laptop OS systems are full of bugs and errors, which is why they have tons of OS systems, now releasing Windows 7.
With their main systems having so many flaws what makes you think mobile would be any better. I tried 1 windows phone, and I'll never go back again.

Are you serious? Microsoft Windows is phenominal! Especially the new Windows 7. Though, personally I still use WinXP.
There are some wonderful scripts out there on the internet (search TinyXP) that you can use with a program called nLite. It shrinks down the original Windows XP, removes optional items that MOST people don't need and makes it 100x more efficient.
Sorry, but the only other OS you can customize that much is Linux, and to the average person it's not easy to use.

Phenomenal? I'm sorry I can't give them that much prop. You must be a microsoft lover. I still have 1 computer on XP, and I tried Vista and in my opinion XP Sp3 was the best OS they had.
I have Linux on my main Laptop, but then again I know how to program their code. Linux is way more stable then Windows. So you are right that Linux isn't user friendly if you don't know the programming for it.
Microsoft has too many vulnerabilities. Windows 7 just came out, I promise you they'll have 15 updates by the end of 30days.
They'll be on SP1 in 2 months, SP2 in 7, and SP3 by next year. They are known for it.
Which is why I get nervous about they mobile OS.
So I agree with you to a degree.

Android: The most customizable phone OS I've seen, thus far. I'm not just talking about an icon on a screen. If I wanted to make an Android phone look like an LG EnV3, I could reprogram the open source to do it (assuming I know how). If I want to have a panel of icons just for lolcat quotes, or sound files of Mr.T sayings, or Verizon fanboy web sites, I could. If I don't like my operating system, I'm sure someone else has come up with something that looks and works better that I can load on my phone. With Android, I can make my phone look like whatever I want, and do just about anything, regardless of my carrier. That's the real hook - Verizon isn't locking anything down here. Verizon is trying to embrace the new world of wireless dev...
