I thought the Olympus was going to be larger than a phone, like a mini tablet, and the Terminator phones would be smaller and similar to the Galaxy series, 3.7-4 inches with Tegra 2 and Gingerbread.

Olympus is supposed to be around 4"-4.1", not a tablet. It is also supposed to be one of the first phones with Gingerbread baked into Motoblur lite.

Fake edit/edit: Android Smartphone Thread '11 is coming later this afternoon.

The banner is stretching the page atm. And how about adding some non US carriers to it lol.

Best currently available Android phone on T-Mobile? I'm gonna be upgrading soon and want a smartphone, currently deciding between the HD7 Windows Phone and one of the Android phones. The only thing I'm wondering is if there's a traditional Facebook app for Android and if you can use the web browser on 3G.

Edit: Another option is to drop T-Mobile all together and go for Virgin Mobile, but the only Android phone they have is the Samsung Intercept. Any opinions on it? I can still make some crazy customization to the UI right?

Hi,

I'm in the market for picking up a new Android phone when I had to PAX East later this week. I am coming from Canada, but I don't think I have an issue with which carrier I have to limit myself too (as long as the phone takes a SIM card).

This will be my first Android phone, so, I would appreciate any suggestions. It looks like either way I would be spending around $500+tax, so, fire away with regards to what phone =D

Not to nit-pick, but there is a 2011 Androuid thread, it's almost always on the first or second page.

In fact, it's here.

Oops, just noticed. Thanks.

I was confused at first LOL.

But yeah your budget gives you a nice range to work with. Nexus S, Tmobile G2/ Mytouch 4G, maybe the atrix ..

My friend is offering her G1 for 30 dollars. Is it even worth it at this point or should I just get a Black Berry Bold for an extra 10?

But to answer your question, a G1 as a main phone is .. not advisable.

I'd buy it just to play with different ROMs and the like, though. But a daily driver? No way.

I'd buy it just for the novelty

So I'm absolutely dying for a smartphone. I'm on VZW, and Amazon is offering the Droid X for free (well, a penny) with a 2-year contract.

Would I be dumb to pull the trigger on it now when there's a whole bunch of new phones coming out? Keep in mind that I don't really want to pay over $200 for a phone, and that the 4G coverage in my area is crap to non-existent.

What should I do, GAF? I'm going to NYC for a week in early May and would love to have a smartphone by then....

Edit: Shiiiit. I didn't notice there was a new thread.
