Last weekend I spent buying, customizing, replacing and then a few days later taking the HTC Hero(Android phone) back to Sprint. I ended up getting an iPHone after all that, as 2 Hero's headphone jack malfunctioned and the thing runs extremely slow/laggy & not as responsive as the iPhone when typing/interacting with it. Though one thing I do miss about that Andriod phone was real time updates of Twitter, Facebook & G…
The older-style icons are a pain to make and the Android icon design guidelines are way more complicated than the iPhone icon guidelines, so no one bothers to follow 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.
Uh, what? T-Mobile had 1.6 pushed to the G1s and the MyTouch 3Gs a few weeks after the SDK was released.
I was referring to the unlocked phones(i am interested in the Samsug I7500) and those need the updates to be released by the manufacturers. And if i understand correctly, the I7500 still didn't even get 1.6.

It has been quite nice, receiving a stream of updates over the months, making things faster and installing new features!

International user, so forgive my ignorance. But isn't T-Mobile a carrier? I was referring to the unlocked phones(i am interested in the Samsug I7500) and those need the updates to be released by the manufacturers. And if i understand correctly, the I7500 still didn't even get 1.6.

I got an HTC Hero this week and love it! Haven't had any problems :)
That said, I don't run many widgets which constantly update. When I was running a lot of widgets some of them slowed the phone down a lot more than others and it feels to me like one or two dodgy widgets could destroy the experience of using this phone.
As I've been very busy recently I've turned off a lot of the things that update constantly on my phone as I found them a distraction. From that angle, I can understand some of the thinking behind the iPhone not having programmes running in the background, though that's a different conversation.
