Might be coming back to the Android world!

You're right about older hardware not taking newer versions of Android. They say mobile phone technology is improving at a rate around 3x faster than PCs. The G1 is nearly 2 years old now. Would you put Windows 7 on a 6 year old PC? Would you expect it to be fast or even work at all?

The fact is, new hardware comes out and Google wants Android to take advantage of it, and why not?

Thanks for all the comments. The company I work with gives me discounts with all the carriers, T-mobile being the least amount off, but as it works out T-mob is also the cheapest ATM....

I will play with multiple phones in the meantime and figure out what I want. The galaxy with the physical keyboard sounds great although I'm not 100% set on that I need it, as long as I get used to the virtual keyboard I will be fine...

One of my main gripes with the android is I needed both hands for quick things(search/txt) I use it alot at work at my desk so i like to just pick it up with one hand.. Simple things but these things annoyed me...

haha extorian, i'm actually running win7 on my 5.5 year old laptop. it's not actually too bad.. it's bearable. only big complaint is the lack of aero.. which is pretty gay. my mom got a laptop like a month after me and didn't get screwed over with an intel 915 gpu, and actually has aero.

Perhaps Vista would have been a better example. Win7 seems to run far better on less capable hardware than Vista.
