Stopped reading at "sliding keyboard"

I quite liked

"Thanks to Android you will enjoy a practical mainframe, extremely supple and efficient."

"Besides, all ONE handsets are “friendly developer”."

Surely they could have found an english speaker to proof read it?

I just emailed them about that. They got back to me quick. They're going to switch that text around. :)

Keyboards really seem to be polarizing smartphone users these day. I am not very fond of sliding keyboards, but some of my friends would never consider buying a phone without a "full" keyboard...

"full" keyboard is negated by the fact you need a pin to press the keys. Or have miniature fingers. (IMHO)

I think the Droid might be converting a lot of these people. I have heard several Droid users say that the keyboard is bad, and the onscreen keyboard was actually better than the physical keyboard.

How do people do hardware startups?

1. raise lots of money 2. talk to taiwanese ODM (HTC, Asus, Inventek, etc.)

That's actually a really good question. Since the PC era of the 80s startups have been software only. Perhaps with mobile platforms opening up we will see more devices from startups.

$429 USD. It's really just an HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1), how are they different?

Great: "Designed in order to meet every user's needs". They might as well have said "Not designed"

Sounds like it's "The Homer" of cellphones.

Nokia 8210 was the best sized phone ever - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_8210
