[jadenj5]

[furygoalbrtis39]

doesnt work on htc fuze

[ChibiZone]

it does, just make sure you paste the files into the root of the storage card and make sure there's more than 50Mb of space left...

[reddragon9918]

omfg thats not android and thats not how u install it

[ChibiZone]

it's an android port for windows mobile devices... it's actually pretty usable now.

[iMacwizzo]

dumb ass he is using a program called a Haret to virtualise running android so he doesn't brick his phone

[tomellis6680]

looks awful!

[yomamaspetbeaver]

My HTC Touch just got stuck on this white screen for like 5 minutes.

this happens with some appilications, sometimes you "run out of memory" while you have much memory left, soft reset will fix

[conorr6]

can someone please explain something to me!!

howcome i have seen on youtube this OS on various phones, but Android on the HTC G1 looks COMPLETELY different

cheers.

[jzajzz]

this was the first version of the android interface.. it has evolved since..

[Rmg12]

because the version on the G1 is the latest version of android, these are test versions which can be ported to other devices.

[luka55555]

yes,but g1 version is still very young,future phones will reveal its possibilities.

[isaacwaller]

Because these are pre-release versions of Android - work was still underway on Android, and the visual look was changed multiple times until the final version on the G1 and Magic.

boy that is a slow OS.. Even Windows Mobile (which is a doog) is faster. Nothing new here, why would new developers jump on this platform where there is one with already over 40MM users?

[JareduPS]

ROFL.

You have no freaking clue what you're talking about dude, the Android OS is based on the linux platform and when implemented properly into a phone, It's blazing fast.

[chiguire271]

u sound just like the microsoft fans that push windows mobile. I have the same Touch HTC phone with Windows Mobile, and its veeeery slow.. installed Android, and its muuuuuch sloooooower..

And this are facts, no rage fans from either side telling me about it.

[JareduPS]

On the OS itself for the phones, the first Android phone will be released later this year on the T-mobile network, called the HTC Dream. It'll be the first, and itll be the only phone out at the time that will truly support the android platform.

Things like this are people basically hacking their phones to run things that they were not designed for, hence why it's so slow on this phone. On something that it was designed for, it'd be much faster, and much more usable.

[JareduPS]

I work at a T-mobile exclusive dealer and I can personally say that the android software is freaking kickass, and TONS faster than windows mobile phones.

Please do more searching before you make a comment about the OS which you know nothing about.. or at least visit the android developer community.

[JareduPS]

It's an amazing piece of software and on the linux platform, it can only succeed being faster, longer battery life (Linux has less of a drain on the OS, so less drain on the batt) and more effecient.

[thazlett144]

get your head out of your ass......

[chiguire271]

don't mean to be disrespectful, but c'mon, the important thing here is the experience.. the win phone is a corporate "thing", the android phone is consumer, so your experience in the latter is more battery intensive. I would not be surprised if the battery on the Dream actually runs out faster on android than windows, due to the fact on how people use the phone.

If you work for Google, fine, push the darn thing, but if you are really open handset, then you should really be open minded as well.

[Znupi18]

The experience? What, the experience that android WASN'T designed for? Excuse me, but you are just plain stupid. How can you expect android will work fine on a WINDOWS FREAKING DEVICE? It's like trying to put WINDOWS on a FREAKING PPC MAC!! The HTC Dream (which is DESIGNED for ANDROID) is now out, check out some videos of it and you'll see it's BLAZING FAST -- doesn't even COMPARE to WINDOWS! Just like LINUX on a PC...

[yomamaspetbeaver]

wow, Windows does run on Mac, dumbass, he didn't even mean anything disrespectful and you get all pissed off

[Andyandrwew144]

its a slow os cuz that phone can not handle it... the i-phone started out slow a litle but annoying as hell firmware updates fixed that fast but the android will run very quickly on upcomming phones like the HTC Dream P.S. Windows Mobile kicks ass

[cygnusinc]

The GOOGLER will set us all free! Nobody has a pc anymore we all have GOOGLER"S.... this one is just handheld!

[johnrtsc]

Nice, why would they call it an Android? I want a blue GOOGLER

[fearthedreadlox]

LOL it's already broken.

[mirkojax2]

Works good...

[grayninja62]

Shut up you f'n brit.

[exxtraz]

ew why its so ugly?

[Akula04]

Because it's early alpha, not even in beta. Besides, you can skin it completely.

[entity3sf]

Android will rock the world. Wish I could wait for it instead of having to sign a new 2 year with iphone/sprint or Verizon.

[angel2901]

You have my laptop!

[fourtyfootrobot]

I really like the Touch Dual, it's a shame that the current model makes you choose between 3G and WiFi. As for Android... my friend, your definition of "works" seems exceedingly generous indeed.

[batukhan]

It did boot!

[curiousjoe2007]

waste of time and investment buying such a piece of junk

[staticfive]

Well shit, if you run it on WinMo it's bound to have problems

[KnightMD]

Yeah i'm not so sure you should have done this "Demo".

[rumble291]

Its not even half of the OS looks good though had a go on my touch dual. the navigation is alot better than win mobile. This is going to be a real iphone competitor now and knowing XDA developers they will dump the HTC Dreams Rom and port it to other HTC phones.

[NightmareHavoc]

should of broght an i phone lmao

[coolsmartphone]

Not currently no. Press a button and it won't go far, but it shows how easy it'll run on HTC kit.

[jamestoronto]

Nothing special.
