Hi, I have used Android on Freerunner for about two months and decided to test latests SHR, as I needed working navit and there were couple bugs in Android that allegedly were fixed in SHR, and here are my impressions (and disappointments):
Impressions: * numpty game is very addictive (albeit crashes from time to time). I would love to see the game on Android. * The SHR picked up the time (either from GPS or GSM) automatically * Full image contains several useful apps out-of-the-box: calc, mokomaze, pidgin, sketch, numpty Disappointments: * By default the phone suspends even when charged * The suspend begins from immediate blanking of the LCD, whereas I like android's slowly dimming approach more * Default suspend time is very short - mere 15 seconds * The AUX(Back) and Power(Menu) buttons are *very* intuitive on android. They are almost not used in SHR: - Wakeup from suspend using Power button. (The iPhone-like swiper is just ugly on SHR) - It is still not clear to me how to invoke Menu in applications * The whole interface of SHR is hard to use without a stylus. Android's interface poses almost no problem for finger-only usage. * Applications take much longer to start (I know it is apples and oranges, it just my impression), the phone looks less responsive * numpty once locked up hard, so I could not kill it. Software power off did not work either... Had to remove the battery. * Boot image is overlapped with text messages during boot To be continued... -- Arie
