You must have had a plethora of garbage qwerty phones then, lol. The old Sidekick II was the king of qwerty keyboards,easy to press and once you were used to holding the phone you could type just like on a real keyboard only using your thumbs.

I remember my gf at the time having one of those things, it was an ugly phone then and still is now. It did start off the Android OS and look at Android now, what a humble beginning eh. 528mHz and 192mb of RAM, lol that is crazy, but the camera was pretty good back then. 4 years later we are being treated to 1.5Ghz Quad Core toting 2GB of Ram and 8mpx cameras. Ahh evolution is such a wonderful thing.

Happy Birthday Android!

Happy Birthday Android. I Wish for quicker updates and less fragmentation. It's crazy how new phones are coming out with different versions of Android. The LG Optimus is coming out with Android 4.0 the One X+ 4.1 and the LG Nexus 4.2.

It's funny how this fossil phone and the few after it are more consistent with updates and less fragmented than the Android phones today.

You really aren't techie, are you?

13. squallz506 posted on 23 Oct 2012, 00:21 2

The app ecosystem is fragmented. Not the phones. I prefer partitioned to fragmented anyway. With so many options like screen size and physical keyboard catering to every price point its hard to develop universally. Ill take choice and freedom over universal and controlled anyday B)
