@Absolute, I don't think you should change the ROM without a permission slip signed by google. Unless you leave the google apps out.
Evan the nazzis are pissed about that one.

Stop being over sensitive just because someone prefer another phone than your beloved android.
I'd buy android phone if the thing actually deliver, so far android = Empty promise.

I hate to burst your Apple shaped bubble buddy.

http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/smartphones/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=219400707

iPhone isn't the best selling smartphone. Maybe if you grouped the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS together it beats out every other phone in sales (I say maybe because I recall a report stating the Blackberry Curve 83xx line having better sales), but technically if you did that you'd also have to take any one company and put all their random phones together too and collect their sales.

RIM has 52% of the market share (read: link). Apple doesn't.

Granted, the iPhone 3GS is a good phone, I enjoy the app store (Peggle and Wolfenstine), but wanting a better phone to come out and beat the crap out of my iPhone is something I'd love to happen so I can pick up the much better product. I can't stand Apple fanbois (fanboys? fanboies?) who try and kill another great product because they fear that they have invested their cash in an inferior product.

Its the same thing you folks do with other products that's superior to an Apple product (ex. Zune HD, any other smartphone, any new computer line, Chrome OS, Google Voice, Windows 7, Linux, etc.) or at least introduces new features that Apple should consider incorporating into their own products (such as multitasking in the iPhone, or Google Voice in the iPhone).

So, to DR House and any other Apple fanboies, boys, bois, or whatever: Lets see some of that Apple enthusiasm placed where it belongs... Contacting Apple and telling them what features you want in their next product.]]>Sep 27th 2009 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
I have one VERY simple question for you.

If you are so happy with your trendy iPhone, and you think no phone can even touch it, then why did you even click on the link to come to this post?

I think I know why, every time a new smart phone pops on the market you get worried that it might out perform your precious iPhone. So when someone posts about it you feel the need to go there and spam your nonsense hoping that you might convert anyone who might be on the fence between a new / different smart phone and an iPhone.

Well, most of what you say is nonsense. You dont research anything and you just go off what Apple tells you. If you had ever used an Android phone you would know that the UI is just as good as the iPhone - maybe even better.

So, please, stop acting like a little baby and stay off these threds, you just make your self look so so stupid.

Oh also for your info: us poor people CAN afford iPhones (I've had 2) but I actually like my Palm Pre better then my iPhone 3G. Plus the fact that iPhones are only $99 now for the 2G LOL.]]>Sep 27th 2009 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Actually now that I'm FINALLY out of contract on my 1st gen iPhone, I'm only waiting for a decent Android phone(one with snapdragon or tegra) to be released so I can jump ship. iPhone is the only Apple product I've ever bought, and it will be the last. There closed system and making me use iTunes is more than I can bear. To be fair though, I've had some fun with the app store.]]>Sep 27th 2009 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
Yes, because Apple is so different than anything else out on the market.

You want to be really different?

Buy a Palm Pre.]]>Sep 28th 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
For a doctor, you sure aren't that smart. Couple of discrepancies in your post.

1.) Snapdragon/Tegra are not made for anything other than WinMo and Android. With Symbian also being an additional factor for one of them (forgot which one though).

2.) Apple will never move away from their SoC because of how much they have a hand in it.

3.) Apple's UI is ANYTHING but superior. It's simplistic...that's the catch of it, the reason it sells (in a far second place to the App Store)

I'm not going to bash any other hardware as fact, believe what you want. But superior is such a subjective word. If you feel you need to tout your over the top like for a company, do so in the comfort of your own Apple-covered room. =]]]>Sep 28th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 29th 2009 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
There's a few handsets with superior hardware rumoured to be in the pipeline (such as the SE Xperia X3) but all of them are stuck there until v2 is released.]]>Sep 27th 2009 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
Also, the fact that the US insists on having two competing network technologies means that you either have to go to the expense of producing two different versions of a handset or you immediately halve your potential sales.
Not to mention, even the GSM-based carriers in the US insist on using different frequencies to Europe, meaning you would again need to incur extra costs to try and crack the US - either by producing two different variants of the handset or by using more-expensive quad-band chips.

Factor into that the relatively backward nature of the US market, with the likes of the Razr still proving bafflingly popular and the fact that two year contracts appear to be the norm whereas in Europe 12- and 18-month deals are more prevalent, meaning customer change handsets less often, which also limits potential sales/profits.

When you look at it from a business point-of-view, it's hard to see why mobile phone companies bother with tyhe US at all...]]>Sep 27th 2009 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 28th 2009 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/Sep 27th 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/ 1.6, i think]]>Sep 27th 2009 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/acer-a1-android-phone-listed-for-pre-order-with-768mhz-processor/
