Seattle, WA | Not Surprised..... What Verizon is doing does piss me off but, at the same time I'm not surprised. I came from the iPhone to Android (HTC Incredible). I see Android crashing if the carriers keep this up with their Android lineups. Top that off with how slow some of the carriers are with releasing S/W updates. It gets to a point to where one wouldn't want an Android device anymore. |

kudos:2 | You can always keep your fingers crossed for WinMo 7 
Personally, I don't see this is crashing Android so long as Android development continues and carriers don't tweak the OS too much to break apps developed for generic Android. The fragmentation may lead to "Android on Verizon" and "Android on AT&T" types of discussions opposed to generic Android discussions which isn't the end of the Android World. |

Seattle, WA | Good point and that is what I'm really afraid of. How many developers are going to want to bother with multiple versions of the same app? The Android fragmentation needs to stop. Hopefully, I believe it was Gingerbread will make HTC, Moto, Sammy stop with their damned UIs or at the very least give the customers options to turn it off. On my Incredible, I can't do that. It appears that HTC/VZ removed stuff because there doesn't appear that there is anything the Incredible can fall back on when I try and disable Sense. |

WinMo7? You'll be waiting a long time, since that project was killed a couple of years back when Windows Phone was conceived. |
