G1, S60 and my impotent operator

For a while I was using the N80 and E51 on a daily basis. With the G1 and possibly E75 on the way I'm wondering if I should return to multiple devices. Despite the frenzy of useless re-blogging of G1 rumors I still wonder what the device will offer.

How much RAM?
A2DP?
Will I be able to open a terminal?
Will I be able to build vpnc and connect to the Cisco 3000 at work?
A jabber or Google talk client?
A podcatcher?
Divx playback?
Will it take minutes to boot like my N80?

Every day tzones will totally fail while voice works fine. This really does not make sense. If EDGE can run at 256kb but I frequently see data coming through at a few K per second there's a serious problem with either their POS proxy setup or data throughput. So if they cant make EDGE work what makes people think HSPA will be bettter?

Should I put the E51 on ATT medianet and totally forget tmob for anything more than minutes?

Will Android come to a modern device like the touch pro on T-Mobile?

It's been over 2 years since T-Mob won the AWS-3 action and I'm not impressed.

I owe these people nothing. They owe me consistent service.

Open to shenanigans!

I suppose most people where considering this when we heard of OpenMoko. Why cant I buy a barebones device and put my own platform on top of it?

LIMO and OpenMoko devices are shipping. In two weeks we may see production HTC hardware running a beta quality Android. Linux is on a many routers, wireless access points and the old POS Motorola A1200. When the integration of UIQ, S60 and MOAP-S is finished I want to walk into frys, buy a SGH-i900 with a boot loader and flash my own firmware. Symbian 10, OpenMoko and Android on one device. Why the hell not? People have been cooking Windows Mobile ROMs for HTC devices for years!

This has me wondering. I expect HTC to support firmware updates on the G1. After all it's not even supporting google talk/jabber when it ships. This is looking bad.

I like Nimbuzz

I've had many issues with the product when testing on S60 but it's good to know they have a sense of humor. I really like the idea someone can chat from the facebook app to my E51.
