I think the G1 is fugly. I mean come on. When I see it....it reminds me of that playschool commercial and I start singing.....PLAY, LAUGH, GROW.......besides...our diamonds can do EVERYTHING it can do and then some. The WM 6.1 is just as open source as Android. Have you guys even seen the specs on it? I mean the hardware? Kinda outdated IMHO. Well, to each his own. THAT ONE (phone and obama) ain't for me!

I dont think you have the definition of Open Source right. Because WM is as proprietary and close source as they can get.

G1 can run just as fast with older hardware thats the beauty of anything linux based it runs faster on less then its windows counterpart. also why bother refering to politics in here. its a WM forum lets not get a debait started.

i agree. WM is closed source to the max. cant get any more closed.

The obama thing, I was just trying to be funny....sorry

Your right, I stated that wrong. I did refer WM as being open source and I AM wrong. What I was meaning was that just about anything the G1 can run, the Diamond can run too. I'm just not a linux fan. I have Ubuntu as a third OS on my pc, It's a cool OS if you like to tinker and all, But I have come to the reality that I AM NOT a gifted programmer in the least!! But for what it's worth, the G1 is still ugly....lol

I got a G1 on the way. I'm curious about the hardware, the Google-enhanced applications, but not looking forward to having to slide out the keyboard every time to enter text. I'm guessing someone will create a virtual keyboard soon enough. I'm disappointed with the relatively low screen resolution.

Once ported, I'd imagine I would still stay w/ WM on the Diamond--if for nothing else--the 3rd-party apps. It will be some time before there will be adequate 3rd-party applications like I would want on the Android. I still keep a Palm Centro activated simply because there are some neat apps that don't exist on WM.

I like the apps they have already for the G1. I do have a question is there any way to port over the android scan application? Or is there any application like it already made for wm?
Thanks

It will be really interesting when they can port Android over to the Diamond. I think the G1 is great software wise but the phone itself is horrendous looking and is the sole reason I would never pick one up. Hopefully they can port it to WM devices soon as I would pick up a used Titan and flash it with Android.

When can we expect to see Android ported over for us to use? Ive seen some youtube videos of it done.

Theres still slot of work needed, and they haven't got it working on CDMA Diamonds due to minor differences.

Actually linux kernel has been updated to support our Diamonds.
