[leandergt650]

I'm about to buy the android g1 from t-mobile, and i was wondering if anyone had any objections? i'm probably not gonna program it at all, seeing my programming skills are dreadfully elementary. but i've heard so much good about it. i really just want a cheap phone that supports most applications and has a gps. thats all i need. does anyone reccomend any other phone?

[rml695]

Anything except the G1. As I understand it, the G1 is NOT able to effectively support the latest build of Android, and is rather slow compared to today's other Android offerings.

For android, There is Multitasking but It isn't as well implemented than it is in WebOS. WebOS has the cards interface and to switch between apps in android you hold the home button and select the app that's already open. Like always, It comes down to what "you" want. I think WebOS is better for the Business person that does a bunch of emailing and web browsing. Android is for the teen that wants to get his/her hands dirty with rooting and all of that good stuff.

[Chris279m]

Fuck you. I would like to see your ugly ass. He cant help it. He was made the way god wanted him to be made.

[snagglepuss28]

You're* a stupid little shit.

Learn some manners, bitch.

[zgagan1]

win /lose situation for us because when we get it nobody reall wants it or have already switched to get it so it sucks but thats are philosophy so we gotta deal with it and were looking forward to the calgary were making alot of adjustments to the android platform so who knows bout that phone so far

[rml695]

If I may ask. Why do you guys stick to the feature phones? Especially considering your ads lately have been advertising for the business sector.

[zgagan1]

hey i was just listening to your vid and you have a good point between webos and google(android) but me peticular i use the pre i love web os but there are alot of thins they can do to make it better like the things i hate android has the things i hate of android are on the pre so its a win win situation. Now i work for verizon and were really really big on feature phones and when it comes to pda/smartphones we kinda stay back and see how they do on the market first till we get them which is a

My friend owns the G1. You can multi-task. You can push programs to the background and launch others, then transition smoothly between running applications. Also, I think the ability to customize your interface could be a boon to the vision impaired, as advocates can help build a better interface more suited to vision impaired navigation.

[rml695]

Thanks for the input. :) The Calgary is coming to Verizon and the Pre is also coming to Verizon so I think this will be an interesting comparison period.

[antiaverage1]

Absolutely. My contract with Verizon ends this month, so I'm seriously in the market looking for a good smart-phone. Any advice is appreciated.

[rml695]

Windows Mobile holds its own if you need it for the enterprise market, but otherwise I'd go with anything but. Let's see what happens when the Calgary comes out, as well as the Pre. To me, anything Linuxbased has already won my heart.

[antiaverage1]

I'm not a fan of Windows Mobile in the slightest. I'm leaning towards Android based phones. I was considering the iPhone for some time, but AT&T is royally messing it up. The Blackberry Storm was also an option for a while until I got my hands on one and decided against it. The Calgary looks very interesting, but I think I'm going to pass on the Pre, as Palm has lost favor with me lately.

[rml695]

Oh, and thanks for the info. :)

[TheOriginalRootbrian]

GSM and WiMax, I wonder when canada will be getting it...

I'd be excited to find out! :)

[TheOriginalRootbrian]

OPS, I meant WiMax, GSM already is in canada.

My bad lol

[sonyab523]

Verizon=LTE Game over for other carriers.

[llanogrande21]

Do you think that Verizon takes longer to get the phones is because they make changes to the form of the phone like disableing wifi on some phones, putting their own Verizons logos, and all that stuff.

[rml695]

I'd say so. They seem to love locking down devices.

[sonyab523]

You are aware that crippling of the devices is a thing of the past. VZW no longer does that.

[ladn7r]

Whats an Android device?

[TheOriginalRootbrian]

Android OS compatible device.

HTC, G1, etc.

[antiaverage1]

Android is the mobile device operating system launched by Google as a fully open source project. Anyone can download and modify it as they see fit for their Android device (any mobile device able to run Android).

[jalouchart]

Hey; got the Rumor2 thing figured out, it IS what I am going to go with. That being said, Ifound out some nifty stuff on customization of the TTS; you can, technically speaking, write your own. Anyways, favorite line from this video, perfect inflection:

"So I can not confirm ANY of this!"

BEAutiful!

[cabraswel5]

Android has muiltitasking. It can have 6 apps running at once. On the G1 if i hold down the Home button it brings up a task switcher.
