taking a poll from gizmodo means nothing. they're an extremely biased website, and so are their readers. everything is about apple and iphone with them.

dont know about anyone else, but if its true that sprint is getting an android phone, im jumping on it instantly. touchflo doesnt do anything for me, and neither does any palm.

Android seems promising and may offer speed and good bang for buck, but for now things like WifiRouter and Slingbox keep me on the WM side.

i would never jump to any carrier because of a phone/os. sprint is by far the best service in my area, not to mention the amazingly cheap phone plan. nothing is worth leaving sprint. i see what you're trying to argue and it's not working. a better example would be to say, "if sprint had the iphone, an android phone, a top notch palm phone, an htc touch pro/diamond, which would you choose?" i'd easily choose android.

you cant say "android isnt worth it, wah wah i win." t-mobile ISNT worth it. leaving a cheap plan ISNT worth it. you'd have to be a moron to leave a sprint sero plan just for a phone or OS. you're trying to "diss" the android when in fact its the most innovative o/s to come out for a phone since apple introduced the iphone. like someone mentioned earlier, truly open source = endless possibilities.

HA HA HA. R U mad? android is not worth it. I will jump where ever tegra goes. HA HA HA. open source is the main problem google has. So what happen to endless posiblities? open source? 80 bucks/Mo ain't worth endless posibilities? I think U don't really like android. U r just riding the trend. If that's it, totally understandable.

Have any of you guys used the G1 with Android? Android is not totally polished but it has incredible potential. It is fast, in my opinion really sleek, and when this thing gets on a less unfortunate phone, I think it will take off. My only issue right now (besides the lack of A2DP which I'm sure someone will fix) is that there is NO ONSCREEN KEYBOARD, I'm used to my Mogul where I don't have to flip it out everytime I want to login. That is weird and sucky lol.

Why let an advertiser/content provider (google) design your house foundation? they will design in such a way that your mail box is full of ad.

Android:
1) close network since phone is locked Since Tmobile want to control content.
2) close content since very things go to/from Android have to go through google services. How is it better than iphone and itune and Apple app store?
3) not as many available app/tweaks as window mobile, yet.

they said that Andorid is an open OS but the content is controled by google.
there is no integration app to sync android and PC yet, or ever. it is a bad idea to let content/ad provider (such as google) to design the foundation of phone OS. google will design android in such a way that users are forced to use their content or ad. In the end, users have to choose between google content or apple content, just like republican or democrat.

and trust me, this will trigger microsoft. they will pull money and resources into WM to either copy android features or putting alot free features into WM.

seeing the Android, I am not exciting. I am still hapy with my Diamond with Juicy ROM 2.1
