I need to use Google Maps (or Bing), play music, sync my contacts-calendar-email with google exchange on an "as received" basis (only because I cancelled my text plan with Verizon and just use Google Voice's free texting service which comes through on my email), and constantly run Fring (because I use Google Voice, Sipgate, and PBXes to make free VOIP calls from the phone. I also need Fring running for instant messaging). Trying to get my Imagio to do all of this everyday has been a very discouraging task. I have decided that instead of driving myself crazy and continuously hoping that I will come to this forum and see that my prayers have been answered and some genius has built an Android kernel for the Imagio, I will stick it out and patiently wait for Verizon to release the first:
4G (LTE Network) capable
2ghz CPU
Nvidia GPU
1 Gb or more of Ram
10mp & 1080p camera-camcorder
Android 3.0 OS
720p or higher resolution screen.

If the rumors are correct, I will not have to wait long. Maybe November or December. Latest will probably be January 2011. This is just my 2 cents......

but seriously, how much would you LOVE to have this super phone?!

$999 pricetag off contract, $399 on contract... NO MARKET FOR THAT anytime soon.

2Ghz CPU i don't expect that mass-market in january '11. See Droid Incredible (which doesn't even run at full 1Ghz it clocks down to ~600MHz.. see system) and 4 hour battery life for a reality check. With what you're doing (to save a few bucks on a SMS plan) the battery life would be even less.

For what you're doing, you'd be better off changing to a more affordable network where you don't need to suck 50% battery/cpu to get the actual service you want.

Users such as yourself will ultimately kill Android in mass-market terms simply due to bandwidth suck. Once you're hooked on all that bandwidth and Verizon meters you it's game over.
