That or a doc with a full keyboard, mouse & monitor. Been thinking about the same thing! Could even be wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.. just plugin for monitor (which could maybe be wireless as well) and charge... Switches to 'Desktop Dock' kind of how u got the car and clock docks on there now.

Yea because my phones blowing up with callers who all have malware infested Android devices because of their open app store and ability to install apps from 3rd parties with-out even going thru Androids appstore (which doesn't even require approval).

Google does remove apps from their app market though on occasion because of report of malware or just the carrier doesn't like it. But I always have the option of just browsing to an apps url and installing it that way, with no intervention at all from any carrier or Google.

Well if they were 'voting with your wallet', their idiots and don't know any better, as you claim. Also, Apple just sees it as more people have iPhones so more people approve of what Apple is doing to limit the iPhone as in the better interest of the 'user experience'.

There is no surname in your Gmail contacts on the computer either though. Just a 'name' it doesn't try to split it or do anything, it always displays it as you type it (doesn't try to split it to display as Lastname, Firstname or anything like that either.) I got the standard opensource version or Android so I don't see that music player that was put on most likely by your carrier to give you a 'unique' experience on your Android phone.

As for the images you can also long press an image... press 'Share' and you have 'Bluetooth device' & 'Picasa' (which if you also have the program installed on your computer, you're done.)

BTW I still have a G1 but rooted with the CyanogenMod, which is Android 1.6. That said, your experience on a carrier released version of Android could very well be different and I wouldn't doubt they validate your claims. The Nexus should be a better phone, as the updates, etc... will be controlled by Google and not the carrier as all the other Android based phones currently are.

Sounds like you're the joke. Why would you uninstall something that is already paid for and running on the system? If anything you could have installed OOo next to MS Office while accounting maybe transitioned into it. And your the tech guy? Taking advice from a friend that works at Best Buy? niicee...

Part of the big deal about a Google phone is that is syncs with Google (you can always turn that off and use your own or a hosted Funambol server to sync using their client apps). Whatever your using for calendar/contacts (Outlook?) -- just sync that to Google (online services). OTOH it is pretty silly that the Behold doesn't have bluetooth.
