- Sometimes the phone refuses to "wake up" from low power state

- SD card cannot be accessed for applications such as camera, music, etc (or I don't know how to)

- No bluetooth support

- No youtube application yet (it's on G1 but haven't see the apk file available yet)

- GPS is not functional

Nonetheless, it shows great potential. The web browser is better than anything we have available for WM6.

-well I think that opera is pretty close to the browser. the latest opera mobile 9.5.

-a device hardly requires a youtube application to be labeled functional (and I'm sure you can bet that there's one out there...some jo just has to go out and find it).

-i think that it simply depends on the size/type of the sd as to whether it is working. large sdhc cards have much more problems.

-the trest of the points you made are good. my point simply was, android is out there and functional now. it is also on our vogue's, the only thing left is to adapt and tweak it a bit to make it work better, which wont b long with dzo at the task. Not to mention inevitable updates for android within the next bit here.

-I did definitely use wrong terminology, and I apologize. I just mean...it works, you can call, text, email, look at google maps street view, use the calendar, etc...it just doesn't have all the bells and whistles (bt, youtube) working just yet, and sd driver seems to be slightly off. Sorry bout that!
