My cell phone contract is up soon and I'm wanting to shop around a bit. It would be nice if this was out in the states by Xmas.

t-mobile exclusive right now, isnt it? thats a dealbreaker for me. but i am curious to see where they go with it afterwards.

Android looks nice.

I'm keeping an eye on the new HTC-HD:

480x800 res screen.

It will eventually come to Sprint. Need Winmobile 7 to come out as well.

iPhone/iTouch is still the best for the moment. I was playing around with a few more apps last night. Nice new/free apps continue to be introduced on iTunes as well as a very well done update system for existing apps. the UI is rock solid and so usable.

Just what the world needs, another smartphone.

i'm with winnow on the HTC HD, however i won't get it unless it has winmo7; and that does not seem to be the case so far...my next phone will be whatever HTC has to offer that is awesome and is winmo7 out of the box.

pretty much tired of iphone, its very gimmicky and not what i want in a phone.

The Android operating system is open source, which means that anyone can build software to run on the device.

Maybe it's because I went through Security+ training a couple of weeks ago, but I see this quote and I can only think of one thing:

"I have a Google Phone. Please hack me."

being open source doesn't necessarily make the platform any more or less vulnerable to attacks. it makes it easier to identify vulnerabilities, yeah.. but that coin has two faces. compare open source versus proprietary apps in other environments.... which of them historically seems to be more vulnerable?
