Just a question, why are Americans so intent on remaining on a particular network? Constantly crying for X or Y device to be on "their" network. Why not just switch? I mean in the UK, when your contract ends, you simply find the best price/value for the phone you want and move to whichever network it's being provided on, makes no difference whatsoever. What's different in the US?]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
@Almo i guess you havent been reading the comments here long, most people stick to a carrier because of the coverage they get with them or the price for the phone plan.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
Why don't we just switch?

Because we have competing 3G technologies here in the US and most phones don't contain more than one 3G radio type. So, if we do go to another carrier we risk losing 3G data compatibility. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
From what I understand, most devices in the UK are GSM, while in the USA, Verizon (which is the largest network) and Sprint are strictly CDMA. So if you're on one of those networks, you would want the device to support those frequencies.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
I'd just rather keep things simple. If I'm happy with my service and know it well, I don't want to risk moving to a service I'm not familiar with.

Also I know sprint customers are usually most loyal because of sprint's low data costs and don't want to pay the price of verizon's or AT&T's data.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
I getcha, we don't have those issues here, all unified system.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
Another problem: contracts and the etf. It's difficult to 'just switch' when switching to another carrier costs $200. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
The reason is that the US is HUGE and spread out. Where one carrier works well, others may not and vice-versa. For me, AT&T works well whereas Verizon, T-Mo and Sprint do not. Also, I've had both and I think that AT&T sounds better than Verizon. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
I can't ever see me getting a customised Android device after my Hero due to the slow (or non existant so far) updates. Stock Android on Nexus One for me for now.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
What are you talking about dude? My Hero sports the excellent SenseUI, and I always get all firmware downloads within days of release, oh , and it's blazingly fast too.
Maybe you have a branded model messed up by your carrier?
I also have an HD2, but I much prefer Android for a bunch of reasons.
As soon as I can grab a Nexus1 , an HTC Incredible, or something equivalent with a working voice dialing app, I guess I'll totally abandon WM devices (unless WM7 manages to overwhelm me)]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
I did have an Orange (UK) branded Hero but I was more on about Android versions than anything.

The Hero was released with Android 1.5, then the G1 got a 1.6 update and I waited. Then came the Droid with 2.0 and 2.0.1 and I was still on Android 1.5... Then came the Nexus One and there is still no release date for Android 2.1. :(

I know it's coming but I kind of got impatient.]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
Do you have to make a 2012 "world going to end" joke in every blog entry about a 2011 -2013 release..It's getting old engadget ..]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
yes they do, lest you forget your impending doom!]]>Feb 8th 2010 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
A keyboard that looks to actually be USABLE on an Android phone!?!? God forbid!

When the hell are the other Android phone makers going to wake up and do the same?]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
Agreed. It looks really good.]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/
So what its got built in IR? Interesting. I didn't read anything about a custom user interface, any information on that?]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/inbrics-android-based-m1-slated-to-ship-this-year/Feb 8th 2010 7:50PM
