Then I saw the resistive screen. Not too bad, it has AT&T frequencies so I was still excited. But then it doesn't have a compass, which sucks. I don't know, if it's cheap maybe it'll be my first Android phone but I really would like it to have better hardware. This had me very excited.

Are they seriously trying to build a phone for geeks? Because if that's the goal, then it needs to be AT LEAST HVGA (VGA / WVGA phones are already coming) and have capacitive touch, plus all the sensors. Oh right, a geek phone that doesn't even run Tricorder? Come on! And the 7225 is a pretty lame CPU (I'm pretty sure it's a downgraded version of the 7200A -- no 3D hardware, maybe?). The 7x30 will be far more exciting, and probably cheaper and less power-hogging than Snapdragon. So I just don't know who they're planning to sell this to. For my money, the G1 is still a much better geek phone. Seriously, is this even real? Are they seriously trying to build a phone for geeks?

The ARCHOS phone, Sony Ericcson X3, and the Motorola Droid are all shaping up to be more promising than anything out there.

This phone is supposed to excite geeks and falls short of one of the most exciting and ground breaking things one can do with this type of device, augmented reality. I mean the early prototypes pre-G1 had a compass, we are almost 2010, no excuses. I second the lack of compass being a big turn-off.

My biggest complaint with Android phones is lack of a physical keyboard. They got that part right finally (so did Motorola) Now if they could just fix the next three items on my list. 1. Multi-Touch (There are so many uses for this beyond just zooming even though that's all iPhone freaks know to show you. ANDROID PEOPLE.... GET ON THE BALL!) 2. OLED (Read as - High-Resolution video playback on a screen that looks great too. Because who cares if it plays hi resolution stuff if it looks like the east end of a west bound horse.) 3. Processing power! (gimmie more, more, more! I don't want the same tired out old 500mhz processor in my phone... 1Ghz or better please!) Whoever puts these all together FIRST, (and keeps the physical keyboard, or even has a version without for those that prefer it that way) has the real Geek's phone IMO.

It also has better specs than a lot of earlier Android devices although the device itself is not all that attractive to me. I'm still waiting for the X3(?).
