Simone, Android is an operating system that runs on many different phone models (kind of like windows 7 is the operating system that can run on different kinds of new computers, like Dell, HP, etc).

Just my 2cents.

no i completly agree i like windows mobile a lot especially 6.5 but i agree that andriod is more futre ready but that is the difference between windows and google. windows is stuck fixing the problems rather than creating newer features it seems where google is bringing us features we never thought we could do
