I'd post something more relevant, but apparently the mobile safari browser can't open links it doesn't recognize. So no htttp links until I get to the desktop

So what you are saying is that you are a apple fanboy who doesn't check the specs of your new phone to be before buying it. I think I will go send some picture messages on my phone and then maybe browse the web using the 3g connection.

It'll be good to see another major player entering the smart phone OS market - at the moment its pretty much just symbian and microsoft, with a handfull of blackberry and others. There are already a bunch of linux based oses, but none of them really strong, mostly made on a made to fit basis for each phone. However, as it's going to face the same disadvantages that linux has against osx (and the same advantages), in that os x just works.

Microsoft and symbian appear to be a little overconfident that google will fail - fantastic quote from symbian

"We have already shipped 222 different phone models with the eight leading phone manufactureres of the world. We have got 12 years' experience in doing this , and that knowledge is very precious.
I'm not saying that people in Google aren't clever as well, but this a different kind of roket science from for example the rocket science that's involved in search. That experience can't just be duplicated overnight, no matter how clovere people are."

hahahaha....they have no idea

(ps symbian sucks balls, but not as much as windows mobile. go symbian!)

And we're off.....

Tjolbi - sorry my reply sounded a bit harsh, thought you were going for a "oh look at me, I have an iphone type comment" (I toned down my comment just in case I was wrong). I used to use a nano, 1. because at the time there were no better alternatives 2. it was free.

I actually thought about getting a touch but will be going with a eee pc instead ( thats if asus realise their pricing is fraked up and the reason people were buying them in the 1st place was the price) as all my music needs are now supplied by a rather snazzy sony 16 Gb walkman. The touch looks very pretty tho.

Back to the topic at hand. I read somewhere that there is a Ubuntu mobile OS in the works. Designed for UMPCs, subnotebooks etc... maybe even phones. Would be cool to be in a situation where buying your phone is like buying a PC, choose the specs and OS and then add the apps and games you want. hell, 10 years ago I was using a Nokia 3210, now I have a phone that gets me my email, rss feeds, word processing etc... and it even calls people. In ten years I hope to have a device that does everything ( I would like one with a flexble OLED screen that can be pulled out ala 'Earth:final conflict')
