Any Android users around? What ya got?

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.
