Did you like Windows or Android better?

I know you asked him but I will answer as well since I also switched from Windows Mobile to Android.
I like Android more. It's open source (for the most part), far more versatile, easy to customize, way more stable (I can't express how many crashes and hangups I had on WM), and is rapidly becoming the defacto standard for mobile devices. Plus, I mostly use Linux so it just makes interacting with my computer easier.
Besides, Windows Mobile is soon to be obsolete and is being phased out. It's still being marketed in developing countries, but MS's new focus in developed countries is Windows Phone.

You mean the fact that they're rolling out Windows 8 mobile and PC software soon?

I guess I should correct myself. I forgot about Windows 8. I guess Windows Phone will be old news now lol.
Anyway, it isn't really Windows Mobile 8. It's Windows 8. Just as Windows Mobile 7 wasn't really WM7, it was Windows Phone, as it was a complete rewrite of WM. WM7 was just a code name. People still call it WM7 even though it is not WM and is the successor to it.
Windows 8 is the successor to Windows 7, however it will now also run on ARM based architecture. It is not Windows Mobile 8 but will run on mobile devices. This is a huge radical change for Windows. They are trying to merge the desktop and mobile devices into one ecosystem.
It's kinda confusing with all their numbers lol.

Lol @ using ecosystem to describe linking technology.
But yes, they are, and it could either be ground breaking or completely shit out like Vista did.

Nice, I bet it's alot better then the old Razr lol. The old one was just a giant piece of shit but everyone thought they were so cool. Everyone I knew who had one had to re place theirs 2-3 times because they always broke. I never understood the craze over such a piece of garbage. It kinda reminds me of how when I was in high school everyone wanted a Grand Am and those who had them drove them like they were the fucking shit, but really they were just domestic piece of shit cars lol. It just amazes me how shitty products can sell so well. Marketing just does wonders for people who don't thoroughly research before they buy lol.
I'm not dissing your new Razr. It's obviously a completely different machine.

The new razr is awesome. The battery life on this phone is the best I have ever seen. Also I agree with you about the first razr. The only thing that was good about the first razr was it looked nice.
