1) Open Source
2) Running "powerful" applications besides poorly scripted java phones. IE: webkit browser, widgets, games
3) Homebrew apps,emulators of games etc
I also like to get on MSN without freezing occasionally.
off topic but: Virgin Mobile has made some changes to their site. http://www.virginmobileusa.com/
They also listed some cool information regarding "unlimited data"
"†Speed varies based on location and coverage with average downlink data speeds between 600 and 1400 Kbps. Virgin Mobile does not restrict your speeds based on data usage caps."

My antenna is smaller than yours
They sure did. I tried going there and it's all screwed up.
They list two different prices for the Touch ($149 and $129) and I couldn't get to a page that lists what phones or plans they offer.
The Blackberry did show at a price of $249. I didn't pay attention to it before but I think this is a price reduction for it. Could this be a signal of the approximate pricing for an Android phone?
The site keeps getting worse. The Rumor2 shows at two different prices also: $89 and $79.
I expect it will be another day or so before we can find any reliable information from the VM web site.
I'm sure glad the people who maintain the web site aren't the same ones who are upgrading their network servers. Otherwise, the VM service would be completely down right now.

I would be more excited if it was WebOS coming to VM instead of Android. But ill know that will never happen! :-(
My screen is bigger than yours
You're right, that website is definitely broken.

What do you mean "One day?" They already do!!!!!!
In a response to a tweet regarding the Samsung Intercept, VM's twitter feed says this:
http://twitter.com/virginmobileus@VrgnMble I'll be posting any announcements here, just stay tuned!

Not sure if that's new per se, but figured it may add something.

It's just hard to imagine that anyone who's interested in smartphones at all wouldn't know enough about Android to understand the appeal.
In a nutshell, there are two approaches to smartphones: the older, PDA-like approach, and the newer iPhone-like approach. So far the only true smartphone to make it onto Virgin USA is the BlackBerry, which is an example of the older approach. Short of moving to AT&T contract service, Android is the best option for iPhone-style smartphones, which is the "new hotness" and really is a much better user experience for personal use. Intuitive touchscreen UI, powerful apps, good web browsing, etc.; Android has it all.

Wish this Android phone will have 2.2 in order to use flash 10.1.

That is one thing I'm worried about. If this phone doesn't have at least 1ghz processor Flash 10.1 will crawl slower than molasses. That will just ruin the entire browser.
I've got more phones than fingers
Android isn't necessarily better than any other smartphone platform. Just comes down to what you prefer.

I don't know why people complain so much about web browsing, thats what I have my laptop. As long as the apps run smooth when downloaded, and angry birds dosent run choppyI am fine. Web is just in case I need to look something up when I don't have wifi available.

Because everyone has different needs/wants. I have a netbook now, but before I used to use my phone for everything. It does suffice, but a laptop/netbook/computer is better in my opinion if you can afford one or want to carry it. If you want to use your phone for web browsing, its very important. Personally, I use mine to watch youtube(when it works) & browsing when I can't carry my netbook. I know an Android phone will be used much more for browsing, etc than my Rumor Touch because the interface is just too clunky. Opera Mini is fine, but its not near perfect.I don't know why people complain so much about web browsing, thats what I have my laptop.

ive stuck with very simple phones for a long time because im poor(which is why i originnally went to prepaid), so i never bothered learning about higher tech phones because i knew i couldnt afford any of them. Thats more or less why i dont know too much about it.
Thanks for the info though. thanks to everyone else as well. It seems like Android is great depending on your needs. I mainly just text and use web with my phone, so for right now, my rumor touch works good enough.
