It's clear that daperl and marxian, are anti-Android fanbois.
C'mon guys, how are we supposed to take you seriously with comments like this?
So pathetic. You should honestly be embarrassed.
Have a nice day, sir.

I think what Andy meant to say was that Android's source codes will be totally and completely open for the community's and public consumption, in a timely manner, when all their competitors and enemies are dead or in the grave.

Can we now have your comments on the Honeycomb/Andy Rubin/Ars thingy?
Well, we're waiting!

Apparently the wife got free overnight shipping, so I got my Vibrant last night. It was NIB, and running 2.1. So no problems rooting and installing cwr. I played with it for a few minutes, plugged it in and left it to charge.
4" amoled screen (800x480), 1ghz cpu, 512mb ram, 16gb memory (~2 for apps, ~13 for storage), 2gb sd card included.
There's a huge number of custom roms out there to flash. Pretty confusing at first. CM7 is still a beta, so I stayed away from that for the time being. I went with Bionix V 1.3.1. Flashed the new rom easily.
Very speedy no sign of any lags so far. This afternoon I switched over to Zeam laucher and the OverStock kernel (undervolt, no oc). Nice and speedy, BLN works to show the button led when there's a notification. Also unlocked it using a free app from the market (an old AT&T sim works, no service though)
Pretty happy with performance so far. GPS seems OK (not fantastic, but OK). I don't think the camera is as good as the N900 (but does record 720p video nicely). The screen is pretty awesome, great color and viewing. Capacitive is taking a little getting used to, much more sensitive than what I'm used to. 4" size is nice as well. Plays 720p video nicely as well.
Size wise, it's a little wider and taller than the N900, but only about 1/3 as thick, and probably less than half the weight. It almost feels like a toy in comparison, doesn't feel as sturdy either (probably due to weight). Doesn't get as many bars as the N900, but I don't know if that will be a problem or not.
Pros: screen, bigger battery, faster cpu, wifi calling works.
Cons: less memory, no h/w keyboard (big fingers = harder to type onscreen), single speaker, no stand (use that occasionally), no fm transmitter (occasional use), no multi-tasking.
Biggest con: will cost $15/month more for data.
Overall, I like it. Probably put my sim back in the N900 for a while, so I can continue to play with this and not loose my phone.
I'll try ubuntu a little later this weekend.

And as no surprise, Engadget doesn't get it either.

1) how big is the ram 256 MD or 512 MB
2) run into problem with space when installing apps? Do you have to tweak to get apps on SD? The google app app2SD cards is extremely limited.
3) those custom rom you mentioned are they froyo, gingerbread or honeycomb?
4) 'rootable'?
Edit: Is this is the one, specification?
Edit: would this capable of the ipv6 beta test?
TIA,
bun
