Same as editor, I am a suc*er for slide out QWERTY as well. This looks good. But I prefer a D-Pad or trackball rather than directional keyboard.
what made you stick on with the HTC Desire rather than the Samsung Galaxy S ?

Project Emerald - HTC Glacier ? Dual Core snapdragon ?

From the charts, looks like Samsung's Hummingbird processor is still holding its ground well even with this new rumored processor

Getting very good performance on my rooted Samsung Spica now, much better than stock 2.1 from Samsung 
Running Leshak's 1.0.2 samdroid mod with Frozen Eclair Beta 5, 9.33 max mflops in linpack, really nice. Just wished I could play 3D games though...Samsung didn't include a proper 3D driver
Does anyone know of any good keyboard? So far I tried Swype, HTC IME and Touchpal besides the stock, and found the stock to be still the best... Swype is fun but not much faster, and is hard to get used to. HTC IME's dictionary doesn't work well for me, and I have stability problems with it (seems to hang my phone sometimes). Touchpal is laggy.

looks like u got heck of a time with ur android phones! careful dun brick them :bsmilie:
ryan
swype is pretty good for long words and at times rather tolerant to misspells, but shorter words can be abit tedious at times. I realised it keeps confusing my "want" with "wasn't"
ryan
yup i get that problem too. short words are hard for swype, long words i anyhow swipe also can, sometimes way off but still can get the word i want.
i got close to making my phone unusable a few times (not bricked but have problems like boot loop / never get past boot screen etc), but it's pretty stable now. Except that my reception bar has gone screwy, shows no reception when there is. But that's pretty minor. Got really afraid when I flashed a new firmware and it showed a Rogers logo when booting up and shutting down, and really without Singtel connection.

A little blasphemous either way, but here is iphone running android dual booting.

While dualbooting with WinMO is already possible on Android, i dun see much of a benefit ( :sticktong ). BUT if dualbooting with iOS is possible it will be interesting and the ultimate kick in the nuts. After all there are some apple apps that we would love to have.
forgot to ask. so ur setup now allows TV out ??

Saw that too, but Android is kinda useless without market. And Android 1.5 is kinda outdated. Oh wait 2.2? I only saw 1.5 running on the iPhone on Youtube. Seems I'm rather outdated LOL
True, there are many apps (especially finance apps and games) that I would love to have (actually I don't need finance/stocks apps currently since I'm still studying in JC but they're useful in the future). And iPhone keyboard still beats any of the Android iPhone lookalikes, they're just not as smart.

Not true... I have 1.6GB of apps on my SDCard ready for install... :angel:
(work perfectly on a non-rooted x10 btw, and if you don't like the market, there's always appbrain.com)

after doing a little research I found that there are more andriods than just the Galaxy S like HTC Desire which is highly recommend in T3 mag.
can anyone tell me which is the better of the two?
i really wanna bin my iphone.

Do read back a bit, that's exactly want was already discussed. Personally I don't like the Galaxy S, I much prefer a Desire, a Nexus One or the SonyEricsson X10 (my current phone).
FYI, the X10 has a really really crisp screen.
