Boy, you've got a point about low-quality and garbage apps. There are some "developers" out there (we know who they are) who are putting out apps with simple utilitarian (often useless) equations and calling them apps, then updating them weekly to keep them at the top of the market. Whenever I find a good, commercially useful site that has a iPhone app, I send a respectful email requesting that they please consider a matching Android application. I've sent emails to Magic Eye (ok, that one was just fun - and they didn't even know what Android WAS), State Farm Insurance (they're considering one now), Redbox (a REAL Redbox app) and ShopRite supermarket (just sent tonight, no reply yet). My favorite Philly radio station is still working on theirs. If some company with which you do business has an iPhone app, ask them for an Android app! We need more more corporations embracing the platform with apps the way they have the iPhone.
it would be nice, but I'm sure that it will be a date that just gets pushed back. All this update stuff is ridiculous. The phones should have all been on the same update schedule from the start and then we wouldn't be dealing with this.
@ "andy" Please don't spam us. Nobody is going to click on your "mobile phones for sale" link and no one cares you're going to Vegas (like that's relevant here)
I would love to use all that extra space between icons. Four icons to a row is just too few. My droid can handle more....come on developers...there is a market for five icons on a row.
It's an AMOLED thing. My brother and I both have Samsung Behold 2's (which also use that screen tech) and they vary in colors a little too... his is more red then mine. So it's just a variation... I think both look fantastic and would rather have these screens then regular ones. :)
LOL So much for vanilla devices getting updates first! Everyone saying fragmentation is killing Android, and the friggin Sprint Hero will get updated before the Vanilla Droid.
I followed the instructions, not like they are difficult, and when i sync VIOLA!!!!! Not a damn thing happens ... Phone says "synced 0 minutes ago" but when i log into the website no apps?!?
Before its suggested, yes i have about 15 apps installed directly from the market ....
Data and voice is a big deal to me. As a business user, there are times when i need to retrieve an attachment while on a call among other things. You just aren't always near a computer. This is a form of multi tasking that should be a given and one of the reasons I ported out from Verizon.

LOL @ 2 posts ago. The Star Wars Galaxies release wasn't great but I loved it until ' the day'. Lets hope they don't release a NGE.

It's probably H for HSDPA.

This looks cool...what is that "H" doing place of the 3G symbol, though?
What about Droid?
Nice. Not sure why, but I like this. A lot. Almost enough to buy a T mo N1 that I'll never use.
Going to be a big decision coming up when Sprint gets the N1 I think.
Oh god I hope so!!!!!
its amazing. all of these phones are getting 2.1. BEFORE. the Motorola Droid.
Iphone-ish!!!! (well at least on Jailbroken iPhone with the 5 column mod) but looks good
This would be cool if it happens, but it doesn't make much sense to release an update on Friday when you have limited support over the weekend.
I still care, and I hope it's true. I've seen so many nice apps that are for 1.6 and up.

I'll believe it when I see it but I almost don't care any more
You want dreams crushed, buy a droid.
I don't know man. I sure hope you are just getting my hopes up so they can be crushed down with a million fold increase of dream crushing power.
N/M .... Took about 15 minutes but my apps are now online.
Am i missing something? Is their server down?

Email them about it :)
