People have managed to get Android running the original A1200 (in some form). I don't think I'd shell out and get another MING, as nice as it is. A bunch of neat Linux aps ports (mplayer being the best) have been done on the A1200 but my question is: Why should I buy this one? Software? The A1200 already runs Linux and people will flash the changes from the A1600 onto the A1200.
GPS doesn't seem to interesting to me since I would probably have to use some poor GPS software. And no 3G? Wasted potential indeed, since the clear flip screen is probably the coolest feature I've ever seen on a phone.
