Guys have some Q&A myself on Androids phones.

I'm actually iPhone users and fan as well.. As much as I like the iPhone, I still hate it because of it restriction of using it as a portable hard drive to store videos and music, which always requires me to use iTunes everytime I need to do something with iPhone. >.<

I'm Google fans as well and I really like their Android operating system. But I don't like what they are doing on HTC Aria and SE Xperia which my friends are using. It wasn't as smooth as iPhone when scrolling thru the menu and the internet browser isn't as smooth as the safari does on iPhone, where Android is like slightly choppy effect. Is it this "noticeable lagness" only appears on this 2 phones and not others? Or is there any to fix these?

And also on my previous Symbian Nokia, I can actually turn it into USB drive whenever I plug it into any laptop / desktop. Is this doable in Android?

Cheers :-)

Oh and also, whenever I'm browsing things to download for my friends on the Android market here's some problem as well.

Firefox: Totally lag the whole phone. Only until you uninstall it the phone functions back to normal.

I can't find Skype to install.

Very limited useful software compared to the Apps in iPhone.

Too many bad reviews of downloadable Apps but unusable or lagness problem to the phone when you use it.

One more question, I was trying to download Chrome browser if it's available on Android (since Android is by Google) but I can't find it. I guess the built in browser is actually Chrome itself right? Since the click box that appear on link looks like how it is on Chrome biggrin.gif
