+Michael Poloni Well mate, you have to forget QWERTY keyboard and learn how to use touch screen. The world is changing. Of course, voice input is becoming popular.

Better with Telstra I recommend. Their service is bad, but infrastructure is good, plus 4G network. Trust me, I don't own Telstra shares

The Nokia N900 was my first smart phone. Although not so smart without a data plan, so I don't use it to its full ability. I love having a qwerty keyboard, and I'm sure to miss this with my next phone. I need to try without a qwerty keyboard to see if it works for me or not.

The N900 has been a good phone, but I only ever bought it thinking it would last me a year or so until some good Androids come out. Alas the Maemo OS was dead when the N900 came on to the market. Nokia really screwed that up - they went to market with their Linux OS on the "mobile" years ago, but with WiFi only (no GSM, etc). It's a rock-solid OS and I've found few things to fault it. But as I said, it's a dead platform ...

After spending some time on research yesterday, it's probably more likely that I'll buy the phone outright through an online retailer rather than through a Telco like Telstra.

This is possibly my first ever smart phone! I'm current have a Nokia 5880. It has a colour screen. Not bad!

This will probably be my next phone. Hopefully Telstra will be selling it soon, as I'm looking to change carriers.

Download SDK and have a first taste mouth watering Ice Cream Sandwich in emulator.

Buy buy buy! Sell your children and buy this phone

Ice Cream Sandwich is the soul of this platform. I can feel the similarities of Google Plus and Honeycomb inside it. Also I try to imagine how Ice Cream Sandwich looks like when it is powered on a tablet. Appreciate Google engineers deliver Android 4.0 that unifies tablet and smartphone software, and the first time you could put the fragmental apps under the same hood.

They've been fishing for applause and wooo!s for the entire presentation. Took em 45 minutes to get one. I think its because the presentation isn't happening in the US.
