I got some info regarding Android phones here....
1) Hands free dialing and call answering is not supported 2) Bluetooth voice dialing is also not supported 3) Android does not support animated GIF files. It only shows the first frame 4) Android does not officially allow applications to be installed on, nor run from, an SD card. 5) Android calendar is restricted to synchronisation with Google Calendar service 6) Android does not readily support Bluetooth file exchange,video call or native Java ME, as do other mobile operating systems, such as Symbian OS and Windows Mobile, however some of this is still possible: Bluetooth file exchange is possible on rooted devices.[111] Apps like Qik allow live broadcasting (but not receiving) and KnockingLiveVideo for the iPhone is set to make an android appearance.Java ME apps can be converted with a MIDP runner that converts them to android apk's to be installed like normal apps. |

i have ordered one from tmobile and awaiting delivery. in the meantime i went to carphone warehouse and played with it. nothing to fault. i have an iphone and have been a fanboi of it. however, the desire's multitouch is very good, changing screens is fast, opening programs are speedy and the keyboard is good as well, well, better than iphone as it is slightly wider

I like ask Desire user whether it support multiple internet windows, or does it have tab buttons?
Can we open a few sites with few windows? |

Think of it this way, higher speed means less time waiting for things to load, means better battery life
about the multitouch, it is pretty good. accurate enough for normal usage, text input is good as well. definitely, iphone is better, but then by only 5% at most. the speedy proc enables multitasking which is good, load your RSS feeds and weather while u surf the net or reply a text while playing pandora/spotify/lastfm... its seamless though the leap view is kinda slow and not 100% smooth. but about screen quality, there's none of the boring 16 apps on your homescreen + 4 on the dock. u can customize it.. no matter how u customize the iphone only can see 16 apps that just move around... non functioning i should say. i have not tried the notifications on the desire (delayed due to lack of stock here in uk) but hopefully, it works better than the in-your-face pop outs (sometimes, i can get 3 pop-ups in 1 go, text, fb and ebay)... |

QUOTE(golvin @ Apr 13 2010, 09:24 PM) oh ya, I also asked an executive in Maxis this afternoon. He told me Maxis has no plan yet to have Android phone packages, because 'they already have other competitive phones'. Hopefully they will not tie up with any carrier... I am happy with my current telco provider ... |
