I'm a little sceptical about Android. It's too hard for the general public to pronounce. Apple seems so much easier, and anything with an 'i' in front of it seems so much more reasonable.
Did you guys hear that the LG Optimus 2X might be headed to T-Mobile US as the T-Mobile G2X?
This is interesting news, because the "G-Series" branding is thought to be reserved for stock Android, as we've seen with the G1, G2, and G-Slate. And of course, all the Optimus 2X's we've seen so far have had LG's custom UI that looks similar to TouchWiz.
A phone that powerful, running stock Android would be fucking epic.
Also, rumor has it that Sprint are close to announcing the Nexus S 4G (basically a WiMax version of the Nexus S), the EVO 3D (not sure what this might be, it could be the LG Optimus 3D, but the two existing EVO's are both HTC. Not that that matters too much, since Verizon have put the DROID branding on devices from different manufacturers), and the EVO View, which is likely to be the HTC Flyer tablet.

The HTC Salsa seems to be a reasonable mid-end but damn, the amount of hate that it's getting for its Facebook button is incredible. lol.
But actually it would make for a cool mid-end phone and that Facebook button really makes the phone lame so I understand the hate, really. I mean - who came up with that idea? With Android you can just make a freaking shortcut or even a widget and have even easier access that way. That button looks ridiculous on an otherwise pretty stylish phone:
I won't lie, I would consider getting it as my secondary phone because I like the specs, it seems solid and should be very cheap but the Facebook button is just.. I have no words. My respect for myself would be all gone if someone spotted something like this on my phone.
I can't wait for a next HTC line-up with "like" buttons.

You should be on 2.3.3 by now, bugfix update.
But in all honesty you should root (it's fucking piss easy, the Nexus line are made easy to root on purpose) and flash CM7 which is based on 2.3.3 anyway.

How much did Microsoft pay Nokia NOT to choose Android? How about a cool $1 billion! | ZDNet
Microsoft + Nokia = fail
Microsoft + Nokia = fail
Haha I expected that. It was the only thing that could save Windows Phone 7. And the best thing that could happen to prevent Microsoft from entirely failing and retreating from the mobile market.
However for Nokia it's an inferior choice. Most smart business people said that they would've gone better with Android.

Given Nokia's sharply falling market share, by the time they put out WP7 handsets it won't make any difference. Android's progression is basically unstoppable at this point, the beauty of the Open Handset Alliance is that because so many companies are involved in it, there is no ONE company that can halt the progress. Neither Apple, or "Nokiasoft" can compete against Google + Samsung + HTC + Motorola + Qualcomm + Texas Instruments + LG + Nvidia + Sony Ericsson + Sharp + Intel + Dell etc etc etc etc etc. I believe there are 80 companies involved at this point and more set to join soon.
Android Honeycomb's music app extracted, brings cloud sync and streaming to phones -- Engadget
Goodbye shitty fucking slow doubleTwist, hell yeah

I hope by the time my nook arrives late this week Honeycomb will be running smooth on it LOL.
Still no Honeycomb code drop into the AOSP unfortunately.
There's rumors that Motorola have an exclusive on Honeycomb for at least a month, which if true means we won't see a code drop until March 24th. Until that happens, there's only so much that can be done with the SDK.

Had my phone stuck in a bootloop for an hour last night. All is good now.
Any way to restore SMS? I didn't back them up and forgot I had some important details in one.
