#“Android soon for \u008030?”
Finally got my two-year upgrade on Vodafone Ireland. Had a look at what's on offer. N97-mini for 120 is good value but I hate resistive screens and the lack of memory.
Oh, what's this? The Vodafone H1 360 for 30? A linux-based phone, social media enabled, 5 MP camera, wifi, 3G, bluetooth, Cortex A8 kick-ass CPU, lots of memory. Is that a typo? No, it is 30. Read some reviews (particularly Ewan on Mobile Industry Review). Damn, the software is a horror. Crappy apps too.A wee bit of Googling. Yes! Someone had the same idea as me. Port Android to it.The hackers have barely got started but if they manage it, you could have something that has the equivalent hardware of a Nexus One, running Android. For 30. Poor Vodafone. I could have told them for free that they should have done that in the first place. Or buy Palm and use WebOS. Not this badly thought out, badly implemented, will-probably-get the-bullet-when-the-bungee-VP-moves-on-to-his-next-gig disaster.
