@yoal
I thought the same thing but was told that it was either a light sensor for screen brightness or a proximity sensor so you cannot hit the touch screen with your face. I don’t know for sure either way.

no serious phone has oled, so it’s the best screen on the market compared to those competing with it. yes. best screen.

not sure what’s up with the golden d-pad, but i don’t give a shit.. (guess what, i said it. welcome to the internet losers..)

I just love Android! I mean the whole idea of it, the way it changed the game, made a new set of rules, and forces everyone else to step up or get left behind. No need to play catch up with anyone else. Android has arrived; it is at the front.

No more is Apple going to be in complete control of everything. WinMob had better hit an absolute homerun with 7.0. Palm had better not misfire even once on even one of its cylinders. Nokia is already seeing percentages drop. Finally we might just see how an opensource platform can “win” when the cards aren’t all stacked against it from the beginning.

And, yes, I am biased toward opensource “anything”, but I don’t think I’m just being an overzealous fanboy when I say that I really do believe Android has every potential to quickly move to the top. I don’t care if it “dominates”. That’s not important, and maybe not even good in the end. But I definitely do not want to see any of the other players dominate. Finally here’s an opensource platform that I can jump onto and have every confidence I will not be left hanging in the end. I am so glad I waited, even though it’s been literally years of waiting. Apple, MS, Blackberry, Palm, whoever? No need. Android it is.

I love the D-Pad over the trackball. Although… it’s on the wrong side of the keyboard for NES emulators.

So, wait a minute. This phone which is launching in two weeks has 2.0 on it already when 1.6 just came out? Not that I’m complaining but Hero is still waiting on a 1.6 update (correct me if I’m wrong, which I may be). I’m just hoping that this means 2.0 updates for MT3G, G1 and Cliq too.
