(Becomes visible and appears) Good morning, WrongPlanet!
I see the trend that our Resident Ghost and I started is beginning to catch on. And I think it's awesome.
Yeah! Me, too! Isn't this fun?

Nothin' like a new Google phone leak to make your week.
I almost lost my iPhone 3GS for good again this week. I was one credit card swipe away from picking up a Samsung Focus WM7 phone or the Samsung Captivate - the AT&T version of the Galaxy S with North American 3G(850/1900 bands).
I got a 3GS too, it's looking a bit dated though.
Windows Phone 7 is far too young to be a good OS. It doesn't multitask or have copy and paste, and it's very slow loading apps too.
IMO, you should stick to Android if you want an iOS alternative, and the best Android phones are Nexuses - you get vanilla Android and an unlockable bootloader. The bootloader really makes this the best phone for geeks, hands down. Custom ROMs and root without having to hack it with every new update, and you will actually get the updates on time.
This new Nexus is just what I've been waiting for

Too bad the Nexuses had a horrible marketing strategy - and the fact that I don't think they carry the needed North American 3G(WCDMA 850/1900) bands for use on AT&T/Rogers. The original Nexus One had AWS(WCDMA 1700/2100) and international 3G.
The HTC Aria and Samsung Captivate are the better Android phones going for AT&T - Motorola just plain sucks IMO. Too bad the Aria has a smaller screen and slower Qualcomm SOC than the Captivate which like I said is the Galaxy S.

Yeah, they didn't put much effort into actually getting them sold, then people wondered why the sales were so low
They're doing it differently now, though, they're selling it through networks like other phones, which should push sales up since it'll get a lot more publicity.
The way phones work in the US confuses me. Over here, any phone, as long as it's unlocked, will work with all the networks (though the Three network only works with 3G phones). In the US, though, you seem to have whole different bands and systems (GSM vs. CDMA) for each network!

Just saw this on an " the independent" article about palm oil in Borneo and Sumatra.
Depressing or what?
