Ask Engadget: Which Android phone should I get? {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2009 2:00PM @GuniGuGu: Spot on!
If you're going to constantly (literally) be looking forward to the "next, great, perfect phone"...you'll never buy.
There's always something cooler, newer, faster, more-awesome-er (see? see the irony?) on the near horizon.
I waited for MONTHS for the HTC Lancaster (hyped AT&T-Native Android) which is *never* going to arrive...until finally driving up to Vancouver to get a Rogers HTC Magic which works fine on AT&T's network...and it's got more RAM than it's neutered American siblings. Don't expect *anything* more helpful than, "well, sir, you *could* buy an iPhone" if you need to call Customer Service, though.

May 25th 2009 1:12AM W00t! AT&T 3G HSDPA!
Android is frickin wicked, with the exception of the lack o' 3G on a rooted G1. I really can't decide whether I enjoy the slow EDGE on G1 with Android better than HSDPA on a Diamond with WinMo 6.1.
I do! I DO!
...but I miss the 3G.
...and that resolution HAS to be MISTAKE! Please, Please, PLEASE BE A MISTAKE!!
The Engadget Mobile Interview: Sky Dayton, CEO of Helio {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 9th 2007 9:27PM Having been on Helio when the only two handsets were so much less cool than the current crop... Helio is indeed a bargain for what you get: I don't know what you're referring to, but their "all-in" plan, is truly ALL-IN. You don't pay for anything other than downloaded content. Free 3g.
Unfortunately, in my particular area, the Sprint Voice network is particularly lackluster, and the phones will only kick over to Verizon when the signal is completely gone. making voice calls was a pain in the ass. (imagine going back to purposefully blocking the signal, so it will kick into roaming)
I think they've got a great angle, for an MVNO. they should try to market just a bit more to up-scale gadget grubbing tech nerds (like myself) if they could put out something just a bit more like the blackberry pearl, with stereo bluetooth. I'd probably switch back.
