I have not own a Win Mobile before so I can't answer most of your questions. But I can tell you what my android device(s) do for me.

If you're gonna ask me about the 10% of my usage:

-7% goes to hacking: I am no developer, but I do learn a lot of tweaks (like Rooting) to make the fast device faster. I admit, it's was not easy for me at first, screwed up my androids(s) lots but everything paid up. Learn from mistakes i guess.

-3% goes to games....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Thanks!

Your post is very much appreciated, gabby131! :D

I just revisited the local AT&T store and they indicate that this device is the only Android model offered by them that has a hard keyboard, with no ETA on when other keyboard/Android devices will appear on the horizon. Therefore, it's very good to know that you are having pleasant experiences with your SCG. I have a few more months before I am eligible for an upgrade, so I have that much more time to conduct my research. ;)

I will continue to keep an eye on the forum for other members' experiences with the ICS OS update when it comes out. 'Til then, I will continue to read this and other devices' forums for additional information. :)

All the best,

Debbie
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I had windows Mobile 6.1 for many years. I went from a Dell axim X51V to a Samsung Omnia and now to the Samsung Glide.

Windows mobile had many downfalls but for the people who got used to it, we were able to use it quite well. Web browsing was always a pain on Windows Mobile. Android does fix this and I find I surf on my phone quite well ,especially using the Dolphin browser with the gestures that I have created.

I love the Glide for its ease of use with Excel and word files. The ability to open those and modify them on the fly with a hardware keyboard is great I just wish the hardware keyboard had a dedicated Number row.

Active sync had its benefits and its downfall. I loved that I could sync my phone with outlook and do miss that. I have come to move all my information in my outlook contacts to Google contacts and I just sync in the cloud. I also switched to using Google Calendar instead of the Outlook Calendar. This way I can access my calendar anywhere from any computer or my phone.

The touch display is 1 million times better on my glide then my Omnia as now we are talking capacitive over resistive. I will never go back to resistive!

Funny thing is that on My Windows Mobile device the voice command I find was better than on my Android. I used to tell Windows mobile to play a song and it would with no issues. With Android I am still learning how to do this, and if the screen is locked Bluetooth can not be used for voice commands.

The Glide is a better phone then many out there and the Hardware keyboard is what drew me to it, I just hope you will as happy as I am with mine.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Thanks, dudejb!

Did you load Microsoft Office onto your Glide, or does it already come equipped with an application that will allow you to work with those files? I haven't had to use my device for MS Office files (outside of Outlook, Notes, Tasks, of course), but I really liked that I was able to, if the need ever arose. ;)

Unfortunately, as all of my calendar/contact data is tied to my work PC, setting up this data on Google, etc. is really useless to me. Direct USB syncing is an absolute MUST for me, due to my company blocking other email services, so I have no choice. I'm hoping someone else who also syncs via USB on Android will chime in with suggestions on the best application to use.

I'll need to get used to the screen more. Looks fantastic, but I'm used to using my fingernails a lot and I noticed that the screen doesn't respond quite like my Rhodium does... Hey, I'll adjust! LOL

I used Voice Command a lot with my Kaiser and when I first got my Rhodium, but I've stopped using it after loading Jacko's ROMs, because his ROMs don't recognize/make use of the PTT button, which I always assigned to VC. Sure, I know that I could have used a 3rd-party software to assign the PTT button to that command, but I've just been too damned lazy. :o

I'm not totally sold on the keyboard, but even the Rhodium took some getting used to after coming from a Kaiser, as my fingers were used to the Kaiser's key layout. I gotta admit though, once I got accustomed to the layout, I determined that my Rhodium has one of the best keyboards out there and I will truly miss it. :( I played with the Glide on display at the AT&T store for quite some time the other day. To me, it felt that the keys on the Glide are spaced too far apart and didn't have a great feel to them. Shame it's the only keyboard Android model for AT&T right now. What I will truly miss that I never thought I would is the tilt screen of my Rhodium (and Kaiser)... I can't tell you how many times that thing came in handy and it would totally mesmerize my friends when they saw it in action! LMAO!

Again, thanks so much to the both of you for responding. I do believe that I may be taking the 'Android' plunge soon. I just gotta have a plan in place for USB syncing before I actually commit though. :)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] frav:
I had WinMo 5.x then 6.x devices for many years as well, still have the last one though (Touch Pro 2, runs great !).

But, I decided to move to Android because it had some great capabilities that WiMo 6.x didn't have:

- Managing Outlook sync OTA with more than one Exchange Server

- Managing / Merging Calendar Display (from different accounts : outlook, gmail, ...)

- Managing / Merging multiple contact lists (from different accounts : outlook, gmail, ...)

- User friendly Web browsing

- ...

Of course, I had to save some SMS/MMS and call logs in order to get exactly what I had when leaving WiMo world.

So over a year ago, I used (payed) for one of these migration apps from SPB (or any other) to migrate all my data. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spb.migration&feature=search_result).

Migration worked great. All data were restored on the Android device.

My first WiMo device replacement was a HTC Desire Z .. with a keyboard. No the same keyboard experience than the touch Pro 2, but it worked.

I then switched to a far more powerful device : the Glide.

I rely mainly on OTA sync : Outlook, hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail.

No USB sync at all (used to do that with Desire Z, but IMO OTA is better).

The Glide lacks a few things (FM tuner, ...) but it has a great processor, a great display ... and huge software library ! (TomTom is still missing !)

Keyboard is nowhere near the Touch Pro 2 experience, but it does the trick and you get used to it.

So Glide (and Android) is my day to day phone. It runs great and is reliable.

I kept the Touch Pro 2 just in case ...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
That's what I am currently using on AT&T... OMG, I *so* love that device! :)

I'm becoming more and more aware of how ancient my Tilt 2 is getting, although it's still an impressively performing phone with Jackos ROM below. The biggest reminder is when I use it's camera at only 3.2MP, no flash/zoom, and poor video quality. The SCG's camera doesn't zoom, from what I can tell either, does it?

I'll look into that to see if it would help me out as well, thanks!

I was initially looking at the Desire Z as well, but it never came to AT&T and I don't want to sacrifice my data speed or call quality by not being able to utilize all the bands that I should have access to on the AT&T network, so I thought it best to wait a bit for something else to pop up.

I wish that I could use OTA syncing (because that would make my life SO much easier & open up a whole ****load of options to me), but my company will not allow me to upload my Outlook data to any 3rd-party email/file storage repositories, so I am left with no choice but to find a suitable USB-syncing method. :(

I will actually miss the FM Tuner on my device, and I never thought that I would, because it sure came in handy sometimes! LOL Yeah, I adore the keyboard on my Tilt 2 and it will really suck to have to give it up, but as you say I'll adjust.

Oh, make no mistake... I will never totally give up my Rhodium! As a matter of fact, I've already got another one in reserve (but it's got an effed up USB port) in case I ever need it. ;) Hell, I won't even give up my Kaiser (original AT&T Tilt), because that thing rocked, too! :D

Thanks so much for your feedback on the Captivate Glide... I'm feeling more and more confident that this is the device for me (until something better comes out, that is), so you may be seeing me around this forum more often. :)

Thanks again!

@Debbie

i believe that if you set up your Office Email on the Glide, you will also get the events, tasks, appointments, etc. You can use the stock Samsung email or any 3rd party apps that support outlook and/or exchange servers. (Please disregard if this is not allowed by your company you're working). As in my case, I need to download TouchDown app, and because I am happy with it, i purchased the license (yes it's kinda pricy, about $20). It does the job very well.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Unfortunately, they got that locked up tight, too. There is no way that they will give me the Exchange server credentials to allow me to do that unless I am using a company-provided device, which would be a Blackberry... Yuk! :(

I'll look into that, but I suspect that it may not help me much, so I'll be researching USB-sync software. If I poke around here enough, I might find someone who can recommend a reliable one.

Thanks for responding again! :cool:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I believe the Samsung synch application for windows will allow you to synch with outlook and your android/Samsung Phone. I just found the application to be buggy and a pain to install. I tried at work and it did not communicate with my glide, but at home it worked but I did not attempt on connecting with outlook so I can not tell you how well that works but have heard others mention that it works.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Many Sync Options Apparently, But Which Actually Work???

Really??? :eek: Can it actually be *that* simple? LOL! Is the application that you speak of the one called "Kies" or something different?

My problem is a bit complex: I have Outlook 2003 at work and Outlook 2007 at home. My work PC is the one that contains all of my important data since that is where I get meeting requests, etc. My home PC's Outlook has never been accurate, since it is Vista and utilizes Device Center for syncing my WM Rhodium, which conflicts horrendously with MS ActiveSync on my work PC (which is NT), so I've ended up with tons of empty appointments and duplicate (even triplicate) contact entries. Back when both PCs were XP, I was able to sync both of them perfectly with ActiveSync and have my data agree at home *and* at work... I miss those days. :(

I've been giving the web search engines a work out on this one topic alone! Found this thread in the Android Software & Hacking General forum, which helped point me to SyncDroid.net. They have a listing of several sync applications (paid & free) that syncs various types of data using various methods of syncing. Out of that list, it appears that these softwares are the best for my particular problem and syncing needs:

- Android-Sync

- MyPhoneExplorer

- VCOrganizer Pro

- SyncRoid

Some are free, some not, and others have free trials or light versions. I'm not fussed with paying for an application if it actually works reliably. So, I'm hoping that others who share my scenario (which may be difficult to come by) can chime in on which are best. Even if I didn't have these limitations, I'd still be wary of putting my data out on the web. Are there others that I should be looking into, that I haven't come across yet?

Damn, why is something that should be so simple proving SO difficult?! :mad:

Many thanks!

Debbie
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Did you try Kies first? I tried it again and it said it can synch with outlook contacts and Calenders.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Not yet, but will give that one a try first. Thanks! :D

I'm glad I found this thread as I'm thinking about switching to android also.

My quick phone history

1. Samsung sph i330 (palm 3.0 or .5 don't remember)

2. ppc 6700

3. HTC touch pro 2 (current Phone)

All of these phones have been great, and as you can see once I find something I like I stick with it.

Okay Debbie, did you switch? What do you think of android?

For me my biggest concern is

loosing my stylus

, and other functions that come so natural to me like cut & paste. My wife has an Epic 4G (android) but I'm not yet sold the thing doesn't even have spell check!

The main reason for me to switch. I run a small business and want to accept credit card payments with Square (Android and I phone only), and I will never own anything made by Apple

Frav: do you miss the stylus?

If I do switch I'll be going with the galaxy S III

any input would be great!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
If you are dead set on stylus you may want to look at the note as it also has a stylus. It is rather large but for businesses it may be worth it for you. A friend of mine has 1 and she loves it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] 84mopar:
Thats a good point dudejb. I have thought of that, but i worried about the size. I'll have to give it a test run at the store

you could always go with the Sausage Stylus:

:) Though it sounds dumb and funny, but I hear it really works well.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ajt1995:
Glad I could help. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DebbieNY13:
Yes, I'm using a HTC Desire Z now. So far, I love it! I've learned where to find things and how to get most of what I need done with the stock ROM, however, I'm down-right CHICKEN to attempt to root, S-Off, flash custom ROMs, etc., like I was with Windows Mobile. I just don't feel confident enough to risk bricking my device with a stupid mistake.

Android is a whole different wild animal to me and I just can seem to grasp the new terminology to my satisfaction yet. I'm no techie by any stretch, just a user who began my PDA life with WM and watched it evolve (HTC Wallaby, HTC Blue Angel, HTC Kaiser, & HTC Rhodium -- now an HTC Vision... HTC obsessed perhaps? LOL!). I was very comfortable with the WM OS and knew my way around flashing, tweeks, registry edits, etc. I've got absolutely no clue where to begin with my Vision! I feel like I'm trying to learn Chinese by myself, for Pete's sake... The more I read on my own, the more confused I've become. :eek:

On a positive note, I'm not completely intimidated by Android, as haven't gone back to my Rhodium yet, but I won't be truly "one" with my new Android device until I understand what the heck people are talking about. LOL! The oddest things that I find that I miss from my Rhodium is the ability to use my fingernails to click on small links (can't do that with this capacitive screen), the tilt screen (damn, that thing was handy!), and the transition from directional keys on a hard keyboard to having to use a track pad (it never seems to go where I need it to quickly, like just moving cursor keys did). But those are more device hardware criticisms having nothing to do with the OS.

Not a very technical analysis of the platform by any means, but I hope that I've helped alleviate some of your hesitation in making a decision that's best for you.

Debbie

Thanks all for the input. I finally did it, I picked up my Galaxy S III yesterday. So far so good, of course I have no idea what I'm doing with it yet. But I'll learn I'm sure. I'll post again after a few weeks with an update for others that may be looking to make the switch

Conclusion

Okay here is the conclusion. For anyone else thinking about switching to android, stop your tireless research and DO IT.

After a week I got used to the on screen keyboard, and don't really miss my stylus all that much.

With Windows I could and did change & customise anything and everything (with the help of the awesome people here in the XDA forum).

With Android (Galaxy S III) I can also do the same, but don't need to. It's already set up the way I would have done it myself. Not to mention the massive amount of apps that are at your fingertips. Think about every commercial you see "available on I Crap & Android", now think how many of those commercials say available on windows phone.

With anything else I thought I would miss about Win. I have found free apps to take the place or fill the void. Bottom line Make the switch you'll be glad you did. Also I recommend The Samsung Galaxy S 3. This phone is incredible.

PS: get a G-mail account, sync your Win device with gmail, then on your new android device just sign in to G-mail and sync. All your contacts flawlessly transfer, and now you wont need Outlook any more.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
The only thing I miss from my a win mobile was the voice control. I would name a song and my Omnia would play it via Bluetooth. Have not seem this with Android yet.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Hold the search key (or if you have a button on the bluetooth that'll activate voice search, use that) and say "Listen to <song name>." You can also say an artist, but it'll bring up a list instead of playing a random song, in my experience. Not all music players support it, but the stock android one does, and it works perfectly on the Captivate Glide. You can even pick the default app to use, I know that Play Music and Youtube are supported, I don't have anything else installed offhand to try.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Not bad but not as good as the one from windows mobile.if screen is locked in Android I can not use hot key on Bluetooth as well.
[HD2 General] scpion:
Well, my contract is up and I have the opportunity to buy the might One X at just S$150.. after trading in my HD2:eek:

To trade or not to trade.. in a dilemma too as I have the also mighty Titan as my main phone which I absolutely LOVES the WP7 UI.

One X would be a good contender to switch for the almighty HD2 I think..

HD2 showing its sign of age now.. Goodbye HD2, RIP.. will miss u ALOT!

Had fun with u for more than 2 years... longest time I ever own a phone..
[HD2 General] scpion:
So.. I did buy the OneX. But, I can't bare to part with my hd2. So I didn't trade in..

I got the brown grey version. My first impression was.... Frankly, very very disappointed with the material used.. The whole thing just feel so plasticky.. Hd2 material, built quality beat it hands down.. The device doesn't feel big though, but I came from a titan point of view. Maybe its not metal, the whole thing just feel light.. Too light for comfort.. Disappointed.. Should have gotten note instead... Darn..
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Yes current HTC build material & quality is quite frankly rock bottom at the moment ...

Samsung note & some Galaxy versions feeling & looking much better ...
[HD2 General] scpion:
Thanks to all the "fantastic" reviews online.. Come to think of it.. Most of the review units are white.. Maybe its better. The dark colour one is just a disastrous mix of colour, coating and material... Even the test phone in the shop are white as well.. Can't imagine I had wanted to traded in my hd2 for this rubbish..

I have fully rooted transformer. At the moment I have the rooted latest official Asus version. I have cloackworkMod Recovery V.3.2.0.1 gee one-tf101-ww (is this outdated? I had the one that has the rebootloop issue).

When trying to install the zip after wiping cache (dalvik,...) it gives me the fallowing error:

So anyone know what the problem might be? I am gona look some more into this and try and install another clockwordMod.

Why are you linking [ROM][1.APR.2012][3G]AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) *OFFICIAL* [v1.8] Build 29! when you are trying to flash update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-tf101-KANG-29Mar-signed.zip?

The 10 post rule worked really well here since you would have posted in the wrong thread anyway.

Not sure if it has anything to do with your problem but you should update to CWM 5 by Roach.

uh.. you are coming from stock ASUS rom. To avoid possible complications, you should wipe more than just dalvik cache. Do a full wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MekZii:
Hmm, no I just made a error linking the wrong topic (I wouldn't have had to do that if I could just reply to the topic at hand). And yes, I am doing a full wipe (hence the "...").

The topic this relates to is:

Btw, damm you reCaptcha! Its sometimes hard to read :S (i keep asking for new ones :P)

I found the problem! It was indeed because of the clockwork version (installed the team rogue version back again (wish is way better anyways!) and it works fine now).

If I understand correctly, they're planning to expand that greatly over the next couple of years though, likely hoping to poach iPhone / iPad users off other networks.
