I couldn't wait for Sprint to roll out android 2.1 so updated it from HTC's website. I'm glad I did, its pretty badass; much more responsive, the navigation system is awesome and I've yet to figure it out but the live wallpaper is cool as shit.

Oh OK. Also, if you have Android 2.1, you should be able to download Adobe PDF Reader.

Attending a New Product Training session. One of them is a printer+tablet. I think the tablet is running Android 2.1. More to come.

Sweet!

But I thought HP was gonna release a tablet running webOS since they acquired Palm?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I don't think the acquisition is complete as of yet. So I don't think the products will be released so soon. Might take another 6 months, maybe even more.

Just got confirmation that it does run Android 2.1. There's also an e-Reader running Android 2.1 which will be released soon too.

I'm looking at the HTC Wildfire, any thoughts? It's like the new low end model, costs about 250, ~500MHz cpu and Android 2.1

What phone is the best bang for buck, running Android?

Yeah, I hate my phone. I've hated every phone I've had. I'm hoping one day that will change.

Make fun of me but I can't figure out the deal with changing themes on the Hero. I've found a way to change the theme (without rooting the device) but there are no instructions on how to revert to the original theme. Also, where do you find free themes? The Android Market has a couple of payed apps but the reviews aren't good so I don't think they're worth it.

One thing you don't get with low end models from HTC is good software support for the phone. If there are any bugs with the phone or if it is slow, then forget about getting an update from HTC. They'll just release that phone into the market and forget about it.

But if you don't mind rooting the phone and playing around with custom ROMs, then you'll like it. If the price is OK, then go for it.

I haven't used the Hero, but if you press the Menu button, don't you get an option called Scenes? You can use that as themes. Or you'll need to get alternate Home screen programs like aHome or Panda Home. IMO, just stick with the stock look.

The scenes thing changes the way you have your phone set up, like the background, app placement, clock type, ring tone/volume settings, etc. I'm talking about this: http://androidforums.com/android-themes/4425-post-your-android-desktop.html

aHome is one of the apps that supposedly changes themes but it didn't have good reviews and I don't want to pay for it unless there really aren't any good free themes.
