My Drood is running very smoothly with the default set of applications, but some apps, are a little hanggy, forcing close and sometimes I need to reboot it.

But, overall the drood phone is a dream! I think I’ll buy G2 aswell and begin to collect this drood phones

Cheers from Brasil Gina!

@ffolliet — Have you tried accessing Gmail, Calendar and Docs via the browser? Much better interface!

congratulations on the new site- in my “start the day” tab!

i’ve also gone “android” and my three current disappointments are

-the calendar
-lack of “office” type stuff i left behind on my Treo650 OR access to gDocuments
-an android gtd system that matches (or runs) my tiddlywiki

all that said the matching “collar and cuffs” approach of contacts/gmail/agenda is just great.

looking forward to more from you and android!

I was in conflict few months ago about getting an iPhone… I wasn’t comfortable at all because I’ve this need of qwerty physical keyboard… Two days ago I’ve ordered the HTC G1. I’m looking forward to have it in my hands, being a FLOSS sysadmin+developer, I’m very much like you about the philosophical reasons… And, I’m google addict too, so, everything matches!!! Can’t wait to begin tweaking the Android OS!!!

I love my G1 for many of the same reasons. It handles multitasking with ease. The number of applications available for it amazes me. And so far, they’ve all been free!

I had considered the iPhone, but I’m glad I waited. This is by far the best phone I’ve owned.

I was wondering how not having 3G affects your G1 experience? I get good 3G speeds in Atlanta, and use it a lot. Last.fm streaming for example, works really well. The G1 does a fine job of swapping between 3G/2G and wifi, so I guess if you have wifi readily available where you are, you’re very lucky!

Any kudos to you for supporting Android!

Interesting to hear someone actively switching like this. I’ve got an iPhone 3G and am hanging out for a decent Android phone – the HTC G1 just doesn’t have the sexiness (I’m so shallow).

Regarding the hooks into Google – you (well probably someone still using an iPhone) should sign up for NuevaSync (https://www.nuevasync.com/). It’s a free service that sits between my Google data (Contacts + Calendar – no email) and the iPhone and acts as an Exchange ActiveSync Server.

This means that I get contact + calendar updating over the air. It’s the business.
