A side by side comparison would be great with all the data you have

Yet another Android handset: the ZTE solar-powered Android handset, to be launched Q2 2010. There is an article, with photos, here:

Couple of minor gripes

a) Acronyms. It’d be nice to have a pop up advising what exactly AMOLED is (for those who don’t know), or have a glossary somewhere on the site that explains these things. Linking to wikipedia would be easier (but maybe not allow the pop-up

b) News articles don’t include the date they were published.

c) Awesome work overall, just needs some tweaking to be completely awesome (comparison of up to 3 phones, location specific information, etc)

Yeah, don’t forget the Haier H7, Lenovo OPhone, and that Dell prototype that’s been making the rounds: http://theandroidsite.com/2009/06/15/is-this-dells-smartphone-running-android/

Youre missing a lot of phones. You should have made this a wiki.

The Qiji i6 and the Sciphone Dream G2 wifi (for about $100!) are just two examples that are currently available for purchase.

email me at fotofloster at g mail if you wish to purchase either of those phones wholesale.

Great addition to the website

Might want to specify Resistive vs Capacitive more clearly (in its own field) because it is specified for some phones but not others.

Res vs Cap is very much a deal breaker for a lot of people.

Hey Rob Jackson, what will be under the Apps tab, very curious to know.

Can you list all the developer phones (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html) and internal ones (i.e. the one Google gave to all its employees for x-mas and the one they gave at the IO conference)?

There are also photos of the rumored Dell Android phone floating around.

Looks great Rob. Really nice feature to have one place for all the current and upcoming Android phones.

Now, please feed the hamster who’s powering your web server. ;)

The Haier H7 is also expected to be launched in Europe in September. There is a CNET article here:

The Lenovo OPhone does not seem to be on the list of rumored smartphones.

I assume that, since they are not smartphones, you will not be tracking the GiiNii Movit Mini, Archos PMP, Touch Revolution’s NIMble, Acer’s Netbook, etc.

It would be nice to have a “Location” drop down so we can track per continent, etc. (i.e. – US vs. EU vs. Oz)

Also, “Carrier” filter on Available Tab doesn’t appear to be working on IE7 (not that it makes much of a difference right now). (And no cracks about using IE7 either, I’m at work right now and can’t use Chrome, FF, etc.) ;)

Keeping track of the various naming conventions is definitely tricky… hopefully we’ll find a clear way of doing this as time goes on but more thoughts/opinions on this are welcome.

Phone comparison is a feature we’re planning… this will definitely be added in the coming weeks! Thanks for the suggestions!
