Android

As i mentioned in a previous post, I am very tempted by the dell streak, and android.  I have been an iPhone user since the first gen, and never though i would switch.  I love the UI but found myself getting board of the phone, and after eventually jailbreaking found several more reasons to be unhappy.  By this i mean the things i had been missing pre jailbreak, simple things like different text tones and ring tone, something i took for granted 5 years ago on the many dumb phones i had then.

So Android, i like the openness and the hacking community, and i am really tempted to switch, the recent iPhone4 issues and apples response to them has me thinking that now is a good time to change.  The Dell Streak appeals, and so does that device running 2.1 or 2.2 android, promised for later this year.

So what do i do? still not entirely sure, get a great deal from o2 on both, but does mean a 2 year contract.  I will continue to ponder, I'm off tomorrow to help a customer with getting the most out of his streak, so will get some good hands on time with it.  Hopefully I can decide soon as i really want to change to something, question is what?
