Android Phones are coming up everywhere. Witness that Motorola has announced they will release a phone off of google.com/phone much like HTC did the Nexus One. There are rumors swirling of a Nexus Two even now. These could be one and the same. I truly enjoy the Nexus One. Its a great addition to a platform growing by leaps and bounds. There are enterprising developers adding new custom ROMs to the mix, rescue images, new themes. It creates a dynamic fabric of community, developer, hardware, software. Google must be truly enjoying all this.
Androidforums also lists the existing phones but it changes so often that the site should have a forever “under construction sign”. The HTC Hero, the Nexus One, Droid/Milestone, all these great choices out there. Different form factors, different processor, different memory. Truth is that any of these can be rooted and the Nexus One makes it so very painless. Add in Cyanogen’s add-in which switches on wireless tethering or just get his new ROM. Here is an article which links to all the parts. Kudos to Cyanogen, the community, the phones, everything.
Probably the great resource all in all are the XDA Forums for the devices. The Hero, Magic, and Nexus One forums really have saved me a few times, let me download new ROM cookery, try new kernels. Its all very exciting and empowering.
I’m enjoying the Nexus One and its beautiful screen real estate, its mod-ability, and the enterprising and innovating developer community which provides new and exciting things to try.
