Two things I have learned from my Android phone experience:
1. I will never purchase another Samsung product again. After advertising the Behold II as 2.x capable, users had to threaten a class action suit to get an upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 and were told that the phone was not capable of running 2.x. Oh, and BTW, the 1.6 upgrades on T-Mobile started at the end of June and were suspended due to reports of problems with the upgrade. My phone got upgraded, my wife's did not. Users were told a fix was in the works. Almost three months later, silence from Samsung and T-Mobile.
2. I should have switched carriers and bought two iPhones. Between the 5 versions of Android OS available, the garbage dump that is the Android Marketplace, and the absolute lack of ownership of the problems by carrier, hardware manufacturer, or Google, I am surprised their marketshare continues to grow.
As soon as I am able to get out of this contract with T-Mobile, I will be switching to iPhone.

Is that the sound of a million emo's cry of anguish?
Nah, LiveJournal is still up.
