First Days on Android: Where Are the Apps and Why is My Phone Frozen?

I also had to search for the 'Color Beta' app to try it out. But the ratings given to that app were very awful hence the low relevance. I dont see why the hype of the Color app elsewhere should change its relevance in the Android market.

Is there an official Flickr App for Android? Seems an odd oversight if there isn't, since they apparently have one for iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone 7.

They do appear to detect Android and offer Flash based uploading, but that won't work with the inbuilt "intent" system i.e. I choose a picture from the gallery and select share and I get lots of options, both built in and 3rd party (Picasa, email, bluetooth, dropbox, twitter, Whatsapp).

Why wouldn't Flickr want to tap into that?

Personally, I'm trying to decide between the two.

I want the Google apps like Maps and Voice and Mail and really don't want to have Apple somehow deny me access to the partial access the iPhone has.

But also want things to just work and want apps to be curated. And I don't want to be stuck on a particular version of a platform just because the carrier won't let me upgrade.

So, thinking of the Nexus. I'm on Sprint and they're letting you switch to Google Voice w/o switching your number. Sort of waiting on that phone to be released.

But now I hear Android 3.0 got stability problems. Shades of things to come?

Pretty much agree with the author here. 2 housemates bought Android phones, only to have it full of apps that have slowed them down to a standstill and are now unusable.

Apple FanBoy Alert.
