Why didn't you get a Nexus One?

[Icehuck]

Who the hell would be crazy enough to run Workstation or Server on a phone? The version VMWare is working on is for systems like other phone OSes that don't run natively on the hardware. Or to take multi-boot one step further, virtualize the phone itself and let you seamlessly switch between a work OS with company-sensitive data and an isolated private OS that was running in the background.

You are describing a hypervisor now. Previously, you said

Think you're missing the point. Advantages of the N900 like the ability to simply cross-compile any source that runs on Debian, support for professional applications like VMware

So is it a hypervisor or an application?

I have an iPhone. I don't really feel the need to switch to another phone.

So is it a hypervisor or an application?

Their original plans a year ago were for a simple hypervisor because the technology wasn't strong enough (demo of WinCE and Android on the predecessor a year ago) whereas their latest marketing BS can be interpreted either way.

Other: Two reasons why...

1.

Other: waiting on Verizon.

2. Waiting to hear more about this:

going for HTC hero as Nexus one made hero cheaper. Thanks google!

Tried to buy one, was denied based on my credit. Then found out my identity was stolen and I'm in debt a few hundred dollars.

I have a Samsung Tocco on a rolling 30 day contract.

I don't want any phone that will lock me in for more than 6 months such is the pace of developments in price plans.

I'm waiting for the price to come down, I see no reason to pay the "cool tax"; I'll let the hipster crowd subsidize the price for me and I'll pick one up within the next 18months at half the current price.

I'm still very happy with my G1. Mine is rooted and running Cyanogen mod. And did I mention I love a physical keyboard? Seriously, how can you use a touch screen keyboard and SSH without the dedicated keys of Connectbot?

I see no point in getting a smartphone of any type.
My Bog-Standard "Brick" (Nokia 2310) is perfectly capable of making/receiving calls and texts, and TBH that's all I want from a phone anyway.
