The one major problem with doing Android on the Saga is the lack of resources.

It has half the RAM of the Touch Pro Verizon, and the TPV is struggling hard to run Android, having ~30MB free to run apps. Most Android phones have nearly 100 MB RAM free to run stuff.

There's also the processor, which mulls along at a blistering 384 MHz, almost fast enough to keep up with an old Vogue. The Touch Pros are running 528.
