whats the best whats the cheapest whats the same and all this stuff and i cant find much answers

how many different android phones are what are facts about them?

[wirefly]

@sk8nhispanic51 "Best" is a very slippery term to define. "Best" for what? Your best is probably different than someone else's best. And prices change all the time, so listing a price here doesn't really help. As for the number of different Android phones, there are probably 100 or more.

It's probably best if you start with determining the facts about yourself. What do you want to do with a phone? Then find a phone that will do it.

@perrodingoo Neither the X Window System nor the GNU libraries are or ever were part of the Linux kernel. They just run on top of it. The X Window System really isn't the best choice for a touchscreen phone either. If you need to use C or C++ code It's possible to use the Native Development Kit to port it to Android.

@perrodingoo Your are stuck in the wrong paradigm. Old style linux applications are designed to run on processor dependent hardware. Android apps need to be free of the processor dependence, and use the linux kernel only to provide hardware abstraction.

[perrodingoo]

Android's kernel is a worst fork of the Linux kernel! It does not have a native X Window System, don't support the full set of standard GNU libraries. So it is difficult to port Linux applications or libraries to it!

But there is a project who makes a port of Qt libraries for Android on google code: android-lighthouse

I admit. Androids were amazing for me. Until I continuously lag, 6 month late firmware updates, no customer support, taskbar won't drag, customization apps screw your phone up within 2 weeks, reformatting every few months, slow/lag, etc.

I love the customization just it's been so buggy for me. I had my phone call people without it even showing it's calling someone... that kind of ticks me off. Has the 2.3+ been better for anyone?
