1.) You can leave android running all the time. As more developers have more time, the bugs get worked out and things are better and better. But be aware that android uses a lot more juice than WinMo will so make sure you have access to a charger if you plan on running it all day.
2.) There is a program to sync with Mac's etc, but I do not know what its called.
3.) Getting apps to work with android off air may be harder but I'm not sure. You may have to look around for apps to download to you Mac and then sync to the phone. This may be complicated though.
4.) Text and voice mail do work with android. I haven't used it in a while, but last time I heard anything the bug that will tell you that your text have not been sent is still present, BUT your text ARE going through.
5.) I'm not positive but I think ANY GPS on any phone will require use of data. You may want to look around in the vogue forum to see if this is even possible.
6.) All you need to run unsigned programs is a little cab called "sdkcerts". You should be able to find it pretty easily.
7.) You don't need anything to get android running once you get the package on your storage card. It is all self-contained.

On an extension to 4... I use the Ion build and do not have the problem with text message errors. I don't get an error message and they do work. (Sprint Touch) I am wondering if that was a previously reported bug or an issue with the non-Ion builds.
