[OT?] Android phones

[Evan Leibovitch]

I just received email notification that Rogers is taking pre-orders for the
Sony Ericsson Experia X10, $149 with a three year contract.

Ratings are nice. The big pluses are a 4-inch screen, the best camera of any
Android phone (8MPix, 2 LED flashes), good battery and better-than-standard
apps for IM and media play. The big minuses are that it's Android 1.6 and
that it can't do multitouch.

So? $149 for a lock-in contract, or $529US for freedom? This would be a much
easier call if the cell plans were less expensive for an unsubsidized phone,
but they're not.
