LOL, for those of you that dont know android is an open source system.

it looks rather fugly... At a nearby strip-joint their slogan is.... "Thousands of beautiful girls and a couple ugly ones..." I think the same thing applies here... Capability wise I think it's a good phone... but I would prefer manufacturers taking the negatives of the G1 and making it positives in addition to the positives of the current handset...

Yeah, when I was looking for an iPhone alternative, this was the first thing I came across. I decided that the hardware was inferior and overpriced and the software seemed immature (at that time).

I think its simply a matter of configuring it to fit the hardware and then successfully flashing an Android rom successfully over the existing framework.

I was the same as you not to long ago. I was deciding on holding off till the next android device, then I thought why bother. If I went with something else I know I would still be obsessed checking android news every day and just wishing I went with the g1 to begin with. I've been a linux geek for the past 10 years and have been following android for a while so I figure I may as well be with it at the beginning..maybe it will be a rough ride but I don't mind. Look at all the great apps and games that have entered the market in just a 2 week period..I can't wait for the future.

(13) comments | Add your commentsSo if i remember right android is going to be able to be installed onto any phone. Because android is more like a web browser really, people can upload there own programs/apps to it. Which gives the android a real nice twist to it. by jokerdb78
It seems like everyone is starting to make a "Just good enough product" when it should be... "Better than the previous"... I was reading the news and they said "...one thing Steve Jobs does purposely is make products that are hard to reproduce and imitate..." I'm not an Apple fan-boy... but I believe he makes a good point...
With Android there will be multiple phones... and regardless of the manufacturer they will still be grouped as Android phones... They should take some pride in that... and present a product line that exceeds expectations...
Sort of like when a famous artist makes several painting for a show... he won't present the one that looks like crap... and signs his name on it... because he does not want people to think of that art... that design... as a representation of his capability... by endmp25
