An Android phone with a great QWERTY keyboard.... if this gets fully developed, it'll definitely blow the Droid out of the water with it's lame keyboard.

Seriously, they're just different things. That's a tough question to answer.

You know what I am really looking forward to with this?

That augmented reality app. Sure it is coming out for WM, but nobody knows when.

I'd like to see Android working on this too just so I can try it out on a phone with an awesome keyboard. That's the main thing holding me back from Android right now- I need a good keyboard.

So for all you Android users- what would a person use to keep all of their contact, calendar, tasks, etc? I used to use PIM Backup, and now I use MyPhone. I'm pretty sure neither one works on Android. So how would you change without losing all your info?

My concern about Android is that its not been around long enough to have all the bugs out of it and their Marketplace sucks only slightly less than windows mobile marketplace.

Is Android modifiable the same way that WM? A nice surprise for me was how much can be done with WM.

Um there marketplace is was better then WM. Every new app is for android and Iphone. Devs are slowly moving away from WM format. I say slowly but that's a understatement. TO repeat myself every new app that goes to iphone is developed for android as well. No Windows Mobile love anymore.

I tried unzipping it to a 1gb card and ran it but it won't boot all the way. I get stuck and says
Failed to mount the SD card, Cannot continue
/bin/sh; can't access tty; job control turned off

oop it looks like it progressed a little bit more
How long does this thing take to load? Stuck again.

I agree. WM is on it's way out. I see in the next two years that WM apps will have slowed to Microsoft releases only.

Then let me ask the part "A". Just how stable is Android?

Sync to your google account with activesync then log in with the same account on Android. Done. Did this for my girl.
