    Driod rocks!

    Took advantage of a sweet deal with the phone company and upgraded to an android.

    This thing is like crack. App for this, app for that, there is an app for everything.

    Got a Motorola Milestone. Pretty nice phone and built like a little tank.

    What are your favorite apps? So far I love the kindle app. Got a bunch of books loaded up and in my pocket.

    I got it, but Anchorage was not available. I can listen to most major cities in the lower 48 though. May have to try another scanner app to see if local is available with them.

    Hello.

    Android is the killer phone OS now.
    Both Apple and Microsoft have become very closed with their phones.
    The new HTC G2 is really cool in that it has a very much dynamic radio that can do GSM as well as CDMA and WCDMA.
    It can work pretty much any band of frequencies from around 600 mHz to around 2300 mHz.
    T-Mobile has some odd assignments that this device will address just fine.
    There is an unauthorized hack to make it do iDen, direct talk even!
    Google had hoped to get whitespace going but had to settle for this.
