HTC Desire or Legend are both better then the N1.

I know that. That's the purpose of getting rid of it?

He said N1 = Nexus One, not G1. :P

Oh. Thank you for catching that, boyfriend ;)

How is it better :P

Well I got this from wikipedia:

The HTC Desire internally bears a strong resemblance to the Nexus One. The differences are:

* A different body shell
* An optical trackpad in place of the trackball
* A row of tactile rather than touch-sensitive buttons
* FM radio included
* No second microphone for noise cancellation
* 576 MB DRAM in place of 512 MB DRAM
* Dualband 900/2100 instead of Triband HSDPA/WCDMA
* HTC Sense user interface
* Bundled with Adobe Flash 10.1
* Support and updates through HTC rather than Google

Oh, thanks Matt :) But I must say after using a trackball on my G1, I don't know if I can go without (a)

Agreed :( I thought they said it would be out about mid-march..

I desperately want an Android handset, but my contracts still got a while left on it :l

Which Android OS is it that allows multi-touch? Is that 2.2? I know the phone I'm looking at comes with 1.6, with the possibility of a future update to 2.2 (or .1) soon after.

[Tomm]

I believe that the older versions could support multi touch but it was disabled at the kernel level in order not to infringe apple's multi touch patent. However, you could root it and enable multi touch if you wanted.

I want a milestone! but im debating whether i should go for nokia n900 or milestone.

i kinda like n 900 better but the lack of apps on it kinda puts me off

Milestone has multi-touch and is Android 2.0 atm :)

[Recursion]

Even the G1 has multitouch and because im rooted, it's enabled ;D

Isn't Hero 2.1 getting pushed out starting from the 1st April? (For the unlocked versions at least)

Apparently, Apple have no control (or should have no control) over any multi-touch systems over in the UK and Europe, as the patent is US based and this particular type of patent is not allowed in the UK patent system - as it's too vague and anti-competitive. But no doubt Apple and their current outlook on life is disrupting it here :/

Seriously? I didn't know it was available on Android 2.0. I've only been glancing over the information, but from what I understood multi-touch would be enabled in the next Android (2.1 judging by the replies :P). 1.6 is decent enough to start off anyway, hopefully Sony will update to the newer one in time :)

Some time in April, it was delayed from March.

I strongly recommend people root, for one thing it means you dont have to wait for updates ;)

I strongly agree. I'm already been running 2.0 on my G1 :)

Rooting - Android version of Jailbreaking?

Anyway, I'm looking at getting Android when my contract finishes in September. I get a choice between the Legend, Desire, and the Nexus One, but I'll go for whichever's cheaper. I'll probably go with the Legend cos that'll be the cheapest, and I like the look of Sense UI.

I thin so yeh. Just checked on a forum and it means ' Administrative Rights'

Rooting is giving you root access in unix. You flash a radio, SPL that lets you flash unsigned ROMS.

I want to root my Galaxy Spica (2.1), but I don't it's been done. ;[ Can't find the HTC keyboard either.
