I like how some buttons are in a kind of "thumb sweep" layout: along a curve where you're most likely to be able to reach them.

Pretty sweet.

Sadly, the manufacturers take a long time to catch up to released Android versions. Almost makes users want to "wait a few months" before purchasing a phone.

I think Google needs to help those guys out so that they can get the releases earlier.

I wish they'd release more information on what they're doing to improve battery life. That and speed are the most important things to me as a daily user of Android.

I wonder if they'll offer a "left handed" option as well. The layout on the car app is clearly designed for the thumb of the right hand.

For more info, Google "Motorola Droid", which is apparently the name it will be released under for Verizon. I think I'm going to be a Verizon customer fairly soon...

A phone running Android 2.0 will be in users hands(according to my source at least) in the next 30 days.

Uh, what?

T-Mobile had 1.6 pushed to the G1s and the MyTouch 3Gs a few weeks after the SDK was released.
