I am surprised to see how completely ignorant people are of the variety products already out there. See the nokia N810, N900 for an alternative and imho superior offering for linux-based open-source software tablets/phones.

the reason why I like android so much is because my current fone the helio ocean has no way to evolve.cant wait to get my g1

My thoughts exactly! I left Sprint for T-Mobile to get a G1 and haven’t looked back since. T-Mobile has been great to me (the voice service is a little more spotty than Sprint, but nothing major), and getting an Android phone was worth every penny. This is the first phone I’ve actually loved and felt proud to own.

Really nice article! Thanks for it. I fell in love with an Android as well :-)

oooooh i want one! I so agree with your assessment. I have always been a tweaker, looking for ways to make the devices I use fit me and what I want rather then the other way around. I really hate it when there are possibilities in hardware that are closed because someone thought they could decide better then me how I want to do things.
I am so excited about the android mobiles coming soon. Sadly i live in Sweden so haven’t had the G1 available to me. I hope we get the HTC magic soon. It appears it will be bound to vodaphone in Europe though, who of course does not carry in Sweden. But hopefully I will be able to get it anyway soon.
Right now I have a SE M600 which has been great. Mostly in thanks to the GDesk application which has enabled me to tweak the GUI to my liking.
I have only been reading about the OS and all the different apps so far, but I like them all. I may not have any use for them, but the fact that they exist for those who have the use is wonderful.
