This could be the fabled X7500/7501/7510 replacement (huge screen!), in Android no less!

I'm anxiously waiting for someone to finally get a proper interface on the top of android...
Hope this might be a good step on that direction..

It's the Touch HD running Android perhaps?

Regardless of what it is.....will we see it in the States? That's the question I want answered!

A huge device in Australia? Won't affect Palm's rising stock price marathon.

You short-termers are always entertaining to watch. Please try not to piss down your own leg, Skippy.

Why is this filed under Telus Mobility? I suspect that it should have been Telstra as we're not due for and Android phone in the Great North for many winters....

Doesn't Telstra use the 850MHz band for UMTS? This could be good news for Canucks who want an Android phone that will do 3G on Rogers (like myself, for instance.)

^Especially in light of Palm's Pre press release stating they have no plans for North American UMTS/HSPA.

Bingo. I'm anxiously awaiting the release/availability of an HSPA Android phone that I can use in Canada, so I can hang my schizophrenic iPhone off the balcony.

Let's not kid ourselves.... as a handset? The G1 was NOT great. It was marginally good. It was sorely lacking in several features of the more high end phones (nokia N-series, sony ericssons, etc...). The camera sucked, the bluetooth implementation sucked, it didn't do video, there's still no skype client that uses WiFi properly, and all the apps are java-based (read: unholy slow). The google guys did a fantastic job with the core software, but the 1st-gen handset they chose to run it on was kind of a POS when compared to other similarly priced handsets (sim-unlocked of course).
The only draw was Android which by its nature will only improve. But the hardware.... MEHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Not to mention the piss poor support for 3G providers. It basically only works on T-mo's 3G network in the US, which is pretty much the laughing stock of the entire wireless industry right now. At LEAST work in an antenna that would work with AT&T's 3G network for pete's sake!
