Like Apple and the iPhone.... they first want to make sure the Android functions well as a phone before they send out version 2 that will start to contain all the bells and whistles we geeks want. They have a pic of the phone in the article as well.

No bluetooth at all? Here's what I've repeatedly heard. "Only the simplest implementation of Bluetooth. It'll work with Bluetooth headsets but that's about it; no Bluetooth stereo, no contacts exchange, no modem pairing and no using wireless keyboards. Sound familiar?" yup the Android OS is not the only phone that is having these issues, the iphone has the same issues. I agree that it will take time for Android to mature and google will continue to release fixes just like Apple. But 3 years seems a bit long, with the Android following and seeing how the iPhone was in dev even before legit SDK (within first 6 months of its release), the Android OS has some hope of being the gPhone (geekPhone ) we want.
