Android Phones

[Mac]

Who cares about stores [..] Everything you want is out there already so you wouldn't really need a store.

I don't know about you but I actually prefer all the software available for the device in 1 place (oh hey you have that in most user-friendly Linux distros). Saves you the hassle of finding it.

PS. Running Transmission on a mobile phone? Useless.

I don't have one but I would pick an Android phone over the iPhone any day of the year. Even sexier is, IMO, the Linux based Nokia N900. It runs a lot of existing Linux desktop software:



Ubuntu/Linux users will surely know the app it's running there.

As we read, one of the things that many smartphone users with relatively decent screens wants is to download torrents from their phones, the end of the day there will also pay a monthly subscription and connection is more than interesting can also use it for P2P downloads.
Another interesting detail is the power play files directly to the traditional format we're accustomed to on our computers, such as AVI VD and therefore would not have to undergo cumbersome processes to change the formatting with the consequent loss of image quality, just to see a series or a movie on a relatively small screen like a cell phone.

La aplicaci?n que nos permite la conexi?n a redes P2P desde el Nokia N900 es el Transmission P2P app , que por ahora l?gicamente se encuentra en beta y no funciona a la perfecci?n, pero que seguramente ser? mejorada para cuando el N900 se ponga a la venta masiva.

The application that allows P2P connection from the Nokia N900 is the P2P app Transmission, which by now obviously is in beta and does not work perfectly, but will surely be enhanced when the N900 to be available for sell-off .

Wasn't really aware of the G2's existence until now.

It was only released as the "G2" in Europe however.

In the USA, the G1 was a T-Mobile exclusive release, and no G2 was ever released, however the phone in question -- the HTC Hero, was released by Sprint, without any mention of it being a successor.

I'll stick with the G1 unless the Nexus One is really that much better even without a keyboard, however:

The next version of the Google phone (beyond the Nexus One) will be targeted for business users and may have a hardware keyboard.

So who knows.

AT&T has just announced 5 Android phones for 2010 @ CES. This is the last of the major America companies to go on board. This will be interesting. iPhone and Android phones on the same carrier.

Also, Nexus One will have a CDMA version for Verizon networks soon, which will totally help boost its sales. Verizon is currently the biggest network in the USA.

I agree with UltimA, I can't stand virtual keyboards.
I like the fact that with a physical keyboard I can tell if I have made a typo without having to look.
Also, I love the tactile feedback of a physical keyboard for some reason.

[Mac]

Yet I got so used to iPhone's virtual keyboard (altho it is by far the most superior virtual keyboard out there) that I can't imagine going back to buttons

[Golden Falcon]

Another reason why I got the Droid was because of the keyboard.

[Mac]

I hear that the Droid has an awful keyboard tho :/

[mash-e1]

Ive had the Google G1 ever since it came out

Loved it when i first got it now its starting to be slow and always getting not enough memory the internal memory is crap unless you root the phone to use apps on SD card

But really android app market sucks when you compare it to the app store, but in the future i think android will do better than the iphone

I was gonna talk about package management systems but then:

(oh hey you have that in most user-friendly Linux distros).

Bingo! And good Sir, what does this Phone run? That's right, Linux. And what does that mean? Right again! It can run Linux software (and yes package managers are software) .

PS. Running Transmission on a mobile phone? Useless.

I'll leave a PS to:
The obvious point of that picture was to show the n900 running a normal (Linux) desktop application. It was not intended to be a "Oh look, torrentz! Let's start downloading like a mad man!!1!11!1!!one!!oneone" -picture . If you think that is pointless to I'd love to hear your reason for using a PC.
