I wish there was a way to install the app, but grant it only certain privledges. Or is there that option???

Ive never used pandora so i dont know, but does it allow you to send recommendations to friends or share stuff? That might explain why it needs access to your contact data. Reading the phone state, its obvious since we cant stream data and voice at the same time. As far as winmo not needing access to your data, its either because winmo apps were never integrated the way android apps are, or...it did access the information and just never told you about it. Thats what I do like about android. It gives you an idea of what these applications are doing on your phone as opposed to just doing stuff in the background without your knowledge. The only thing is that now that they ae warning us before they install everyone thinks this kind os data access is something new and malicious. Its been happening on phones a lot longer than you know. You were just never privy to the fact before now. Someone correct me if im wrong, or just talking out my butt.
