G1, MyTouch, Cliq and Eris??? Waaaa waaa waaaa. I could hear the crybabies now. They got a point though. That's what I hate about the Android platform. At least with an iPhone you're not left in the dark when a new version of the OS rolls out.
...
I think Android still has an advantage..... CHOICE! You aren't stuck with "all touch or alltouch?"
...
"Do you want the phone that can only run these apps, the one with the horrible hardware keyboard, or do you want the phone that's 4 versions behind and underpowered?"
I think Android's a perfect example as to how choice can be a bad thing. 20 crappy options are worse than 1 good option.
...
omg bluecoyote get a life dude. Why do u have to be so such a debbie downer on android. go hype apple if you want cuz i dont care. and if you are going to argue please use facts, instead of bias. 20 crappy options? its called inivation, its not easy and rarely perfect. matter of fact there was a guy that screwed up a 1000 times before he got it right. edison... so go pull the ipole out of you A$$ and get off the android threads. nobody values your "opinion"
...
Inivation isn't even a word. 🤣
...
omg nig, give me a break, i just passed ENG 101 last week. im no expert writer. and i sure as hell suck as spelling. good job side stepping my points though, well done sir.
...
Says Sprint not TMoble, AT&T or Verizon. Go ask them
...
If I'm not mistaken I thought that the line up of phones that will not get this upgrade was because most of the things this upgrade will have, they already have?
So the upgrades that 2.0 have the 1.8 or what ever probably already have, Idk, I'm all confused now.
This is also one of the things that keep me from wanting to get a android phone.

Me too. I don't use any other Apple products except for the iPhone. So I'm not an Apple "fanboy". The only reason why I can't let go of my iPhone is because of the amount of apps available at my fingertips. Especially if you jailbreak it. The possibilities are endless. But I'm getting tired of the iPhone though. I'm no longer under contract with AT&T so I can leave at any time.
I seen the Motorola Droid and Nexus One and I was impressed with Android 2.0. I just wish they would support the phones in a manner that Apple does. If you have lets say, a 1st generation iPhone, you might not get all the benefit...

That was a friend who wrote that. We were arguing over Iphone vs Android he came in and posted that. So just letting yall know before anybody goes thinking I lost my mind and caved into Crapple!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

Oh rats, you could've experienced a decent web browser or IM client for once! 🤣

1. People still IM?
2. The 2.1 browser, for me, is better than the iphones. I prefer the way it renders text
...
1. Yeah, turns out this IM thing is pretty popular. Welcome to 2010.
2) Yeah you and noone else shares that sentiment. Also "correct" is not a word I would use to describe Android 2.1's rendering.
...
MennoMar 19, 2010, 10:18 PM
Im was huge in 2005.
Now there is facebook chat and texting,
MeeboIM does IM and Facebook. Handcent for texting
...
Yeah Texting's only big if you're under 15 or you don't have a reliable IM client.
...
MennoMar 20, 2010, 2:51 AM
riiight...
Then again, you're most likely one of those people that argued that MMS really wasn't that big of a deal because no one did picture messaging either.
...
Hey Blue-balls-coyote, Why don't you take your iPhone fan boy ass elsewhere, instead of lurking around a Android forum like the poor bastard-troll that you are.
IM'ing is cool if you are in high school (which you obviously are).
...
I know a lot of people who use the BlackBerry Messenger IM capabilities who aren't in High School. Also the facebook IM is still a form of IM
...
there is a difference between somebody that AIM and somebody on BBM. The difference? When's the next meeting VS. whens the next spirit rally.
...
. . .
I love texting, and don't IM.
Certainly not under 15.
Moron.
...
I haven't seen any headlines at all on PS of Tmo indicating any timeline of when they intend to update any of their Android handsets. Heck, the G1 never even got a 1.5 or 1.6 updatd.
But personally I'm fine with where Android is with 2.1, and I saw the Droid on Amazon for !!ONLY!! $25, way, way too good of a deal to pass up, and it doesn't seem as though it's going to be too much longer til Vzn updates the Droid to 2.1
...
I don't know that I'd take a Droid for free. You're paying a lot per month for a data plan on a weak sauce smartphone. Unless you go through the Menno route and hack it, in which case you'd better hope the device to which you commit $2,000.00 to Verizon Wireless doesn't brick.
...
MennoMar 19, 2010, 7:15 PM
Besides that Jay doesn't consider it weak, and neither do I.
...
Hey some people consider WinMO not to be weak either
...
We get it... Amazon has the Droid for $25. You either work for Amazon or have nothing better to say.
...
🤣
Hey Menno, can you tell me how to root it I'm DEF thinking of getting one and I hear it's getting 2.1 today er tomorrow er next year
...
MennoMar 19, 2010, 10:24 PM
2.1 is out for testing on phones. Meaning it should be pushed out to the rest of the devices
...
MennoMar 19, 2010, 7:02 PM
the g1 is actually running 1.6 I believe
...
I feel comfortable getting an Android phone, I like the point that it's at with 2.1, and it isn't gonna be too, too much longer until the Droid gets 2.1
...
Really? What kind of phone are you getting? Where will you be purchasing it? And for how much? 🤣
...
!!Droid!! Only $25 on Amz! ! !
I already canceled one of the lines on my ATT acct, and I'm
!!WAITING!! to see what my mother decides to do. In the morning she's going to a Vzn store to mess around with a Droid herself.
