Any Android users around? What ya got?
 

I was just wondering how many people here are using a droid/Incredible/G1 whatever lately, and if theyve flashed theirs yet!

Im running a moto DROID, just flashed 10 minutes ago with Petes Bugless Beast 1.0 rom, overclocked to 1.0ghz and the smoked glass theme.

Its freaking flying now!

I'm using my old school G1. I'm running whatever's the latest release. Is there a link that I can read more about this rom?

I had to buy a new battery off of Amazon, because I was getting like 4-5 hours out of the phone, I get 2 and 1/2 days now, but it's a damn brick.

Iphone > *

Have had a Droid since it released. Android will beat iPhone by far because anyone can develop apps for the market, compared to Apple's strict rules and BS.

I've never flashed mine. No real need for it for what I do.

I love you, Rogean, but I am sorry:
android > iphone

Android will be on multiple phones on every single wireless provider around! Your iphone will remain on one phone with one provider, exactly why the MAC will never flourish!

They said the same exact thing last year and it didn't happen. I have no reason to believe that it will happen this time either.

Start there. Theres also XDA developers, and droid forums.

Oh and for you G1 people THIS:

At this point the ONLY advantage people sporting iPhones now is that they have a better app market thus far, since it been on the market longer, and though the beter app quality can be debated I still prefer an open market and a phone that we can mod, hack, and tweak to our hearts content without any fear of carrier's locking it down.

I've actually had quite a few buddies from the programming world switch to Android out of curiosity, and they have told me they're mostly happy with the switch.

I was debating on getting the Nexus One, I just can't justify spending 500+ for a phone (I have an old grandfathered plan from SunCom before they were bought out by T-Mobile, so I can't do the cheaper upgrade to it).

I got the G1 when it first came out, before Google allowed people to even charge for the apps; (I think it lasted the first 3-6 months or so). It's been extremely gratifying to see how the app market has exploded.

I think the most telling is the amount of professionally coded software that's making it's way on the Android. I'm a medical student, and there's quite a few apps that were basically considered out of reach for people without an Iphone or Windows Mobile phone a year and a half or so ago when I got my G1. I signed a petition on the designers website for one of the larger medical software suites, and recently they've released an Android version. This software is like a ~100$ software suite (that nearly every medical professional I know uses) for the year. It's nice to see that kind of development jump behind Android software.

I can't speak for Iphone (because I haven't owned one), but I'm glad my phone I bought a year and a half ago gets updated consistently to where I don't feel like I bought old technology, even though I realize the newer generation phones are much more powerful.

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of waving my cock around and saying which is bigger, but I can definitely say I'm extremely happy with my Android, and don't feel like it's lacking when I compare it to people using Iphone. That's enough to make me content.

Shadow... I have to say I'm in debt to you buddy. I couldn't get my school's exchange email to run on G1, and all the research lead me to the understanding that G1 would probably never support Exchange; I'd have to buy Touchdown for 20$ (which I tried the demo and it was cool.. but not worth 20$ to have email on my phone).

With the update to Eclair, it runs my exchange e-mail perfectly. This is something I've been fiddling with for over a year now, so consider yourself deserving of my man-crush <3 !
