I 2nd that! BT tethering is excellent on battery life, great for casual browsing (i.e. speed isn't an issue if you're just loading up webpages), and great for when you don't have a USB cable around.Its one of the few things I'll miss when/if I eventually move from my X1 to an Android phone.]]>May 21st 2010 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
But this can already be added with small third party apps like EasyTether or PdaNet so Bluetooth tethering isn't the showstopper you're making it out to be.]]>May 21st 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
Is bluetooth better on battery life than wi-fi? It sure isn't anywhere near as fast....]]>May 21st 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
WiFi on average uses 32 mW
Bluetooth on uses a maximum of 2.5mW

As for speed, bluetooth allows a max speed of 3 Mbit/s
AT&T has a max speed of 3.6Mbit/s in most areas.

FYI I don't think 7.2 speeds have been rolled out yet on ATT, and most 3G phones doesn't even currently support it.]]>May 21st 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
Why is it you have to wait for a new device to get 2.2? I thought Android was the "open" mobile OS. On Windows Mobile, people are usually running the new operating system on their much older phones even before the new one is out!

So I'm curious, why doesn't every existing Android phone get updated (by Google or by ROM cooks) to the newest version?]]>May 21st 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/Sorry dude, I didn't know -- didn't mean to make it out to be a "showstopper" -- just wondering why there's no built in support for bluetooth tethering. As above have stated, it's better on battery life, for _both_ devices -- the one doing the routing (cell -> local clients) and the clients as well. Speed is a non issue, 3Mbps is more than enough bandwidth.]]>May 21st 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
It does. Most people just aren't going to bother going to a site like xda and downloading and flashing their own ROM. You can brick your phone, at the very least you will lose all of your data if you don't back it up. That's the caveat with installing custom roms.

There was a story here just this morning that Froyo's already been ported to two phones from the developer release. I guess you can go download those roms right now.

I run a custom WinMo 6.5 rom on my phone and I love it, but the process is not for everyone. It's even more involved than jailbreaking an iPhone, and how many people do you personally know that have done that?

I'm waiting for 2.2 before I get a new device because I currently don't have an Android device but want to get one. I could have gotten one sometime ago and rooted it but i'm just not into doing that stuff with my phones.]]>May 21st 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 22nd 2010 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/
As a consumer, you can pick out an AAA handset. Someone who wants support and speed should get a Incredible or Droid, not a Cliq XT or Backflip and then complain that they don't get as fast support as a Nexus One. Some devices are made, thrown into the market, and exist as a oneshot for basic users. Others are for power users who expect the best. What you're describing already exists if you ignore the cheap handsets that don't target anyone interested enough to read a tech blog.]]>May 21st 2010 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/May 21st 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/That's what the ROM community is for!
