What phone companies offer android phones?

I was wondering if its possible to get an android phone from bell since thats who Im with for a service provider and I am on a contract nor am I allowed to get a different phone.
It will be T-Mobile exclusively offering the HTC G1 as of right now. It is believed that T-Mobile will offer unlock codes to customers of 90 days or more if asked. So for that reason you will see unlocked phones for sale. It's doubtful that T-Mobile or HTC will offer this phone to buy direct and already unlocked for quite a while. Check ebay if you don't want to go with T-Mobile. You might also find unlock codes out there eventually once hackers get ahold of the phone. It didn't take long before the iPhone was cracked, I'm sure the android phone will be easier.
There are also android phones being developed by Samsung and possibly other companies. No news as to when these will be released or who will carry them. I expect the HTC G1 model will be the only one for quite a while.

What do you think of the Google Android phone?
When does it come out? Is it's browser as large as the Iphone. Does it have as many funcitons as the smart phones? Does anyone know much about it?

al-righty my name is charles raitan im a phone hacker and legally add software to them the android phone sucks it comes out september 23 the browser is not as the iphone great because apple made it and anything apple makes is better than windows its on t-moble so if your getting the iphone no need to switch to att if your at tmoble just switch the sim cards there is no hacking involved but you do get your 3g iphone on tmoble but only get the iphone on the 23d cuz thatz when tmoble gtz 3g speed to you could still have the speed this prcces dose not kill your worrenty because theres no modifying involved.

What phones should i get, the google phone, the iphone 3g, or the sprint instinct?

With no other electronics added, for example, get a google phone, and then get a ipod touch for more music. jbogs87 was the worst answer i have ever gottan. That was terrible. Go at&t!!!

I would say you should get the iPhone 3G. It's the best web browsing phone, video quality is awesome. It has a lot of features. AT&T has signal in lots of places. I have an iPhone 3G and there is never dropped calls.
If you are going to purchase an iPhone, just purchase the original. The iPhone 3G's service and quality are both poor, and the cell phone has a tendency to crash quite a bit. Android is an excellent software platform and operating system, and provides its user with efficient cell phone navigation. The instinct is not anything special, and does not compare with Verizon's new touchscreen cell phones. Go with AT&T's G1 cell phone ("the google phone").
Also, studies and research has shown that Verizon has more coverage in any area of the country. Do not listen to the AT&T representative. He will obviously encourage you to purchase the iPhone 3G. Listen to somebody who is attempting to help you, not his or her self. I am the only responder who actually possesses all three of these cell phones. The others would not know which cell phone is best, as they do not acquire all three of these cell phones.The iPhone 3G. It comes in 8 or 16GB. Plenty of space to hold all of your music, pictures, and videos. It's fully capable of browsing the internet and checking your email. It's a phone, and a 2.0 megapixel camera, which is a lot better than it sounds. The 8 GB only comes in black, where as the 16 GB comes in black or white. Great phone though overall.
A phone is good with the network its on, the iPhone is a good phone..and sprint has bad coverage so its not gonna be a good experience..AT&T has the best coverage with the fastest 3g network so the iPhone will be the better bet.AT&T wireless asstiant manager.

the iphone has alot of "loyal" customers , and they say it will not be defeated . right now the iphone has the top consumer % , but the G1 well get more coders since they dont need a mac to do applications for the google android open source software that the G1 has. i personally have an iphone i like it but some apps u need to buy -_- , while i think the apps for the G1 will be free =D. this is what i think.

Google phone, iphone, or blackberry storm，Which one is better?

So i cant tell whether to get the android google phone, blackberry storm or iphone. does anyone know what is better for internet, texting, signal and other specs. please let me know.

g1 for texting-a full touchscreen blows for texting because you do not know if you pressed the button. you have to pay full attention to what youre doing.

g1 for internet-it has wifi like the iphone, but google, unlike apple, will allow you to install a better third party internet browser. nearly every third party internet browser supports flash. the iphone and storm never will have a third party browser.

signal is subjective to your coverage area. The iphone 3g has 4 class action lawsuits in 4 countries over the dropped calls. the storm will be on a cdma network which is smaller then the gsm network in the US.

spec wise, the g1 has the most features.
the iphone doesnt support;
java, mms voice dialing, third party software installation (the g1 does)the storm doesnt support wifi (the g1 does)
however, the g1 doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack. it has a proprietary usb jack.

Well first off monthly wise the blackberry will be the most followed by the iphone. The google phone is cheeper monthly cause tmobile is by far cheeper. The google phone will do as much as the phone, if not more. The google phone also is not all touch it has a trackball and a slide out quetry keyboard.Google Phone all the way.

They are both good in their own respect and caters to different crowds. The iphone are for those that are, of course, loyal to apple as well as those that want it as a "status symbol". It does have alot of bells and whistles that make it a great phone. The G1, on the other hand, is basically a "geek" phone. Those that want a phone to do everything from making a basic phone call to controlling your electronic devices to finding out where you parked your car, then the google phone is for you. I personally have the google phone and have enjoyed it since I have received it. The 3G converage is great in my area (Houston, Texas), but then again, I don't venture out from my area much.

Which iPhone game should I get: Super Monkey Ball or Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D?

I've narrowed it down to those two, but can't decide which one to get.
I'm open to other suggestions if there's another really good game available.

The controls are pretty quirky and frustrating for Monkey Ball. Crash is a fun racer, and has some depth. There are some minor lag issues, but nothing to seriously detract from the overall experience.

How do I get past sector 2-5 of the space monkey game for the iPhone?
I'm just stuck there even if I kill the brass monkey and collect all the space junk. But I didn't complete it with all the juggling though.

When it says "Collect all the space junk to move on" it must mean ALL the space junk. Even though I had collected it all, I still couldn't move on until I kept the first two juggling balls while beating the brass monkey. I didn't juggle all the balls for the whole sector, just most of it.
To sum up: Hold onto all the juggling as long as you can and be sure to collect ALL junk until your meter is FULL.

Can you use the iPhone GPS in flight on an airplane to track your position?

If so, do airlines allow it?

Answer
No. Wireless devices are banned in flight so there is not chance they interfere with flight equipment. You will need to shut off your iphone and keep it off until you land.

It depends on your airline. Some allow it and some do not.
You can check on the web site of the airline to see if they have a prohibition. If they do not list it, you can use it. It will need to be turned off during take off and landing when all electronics are to be turned off.

Reception of the GPS signals depends on the quality of the receiver and if you have a window seat. The airplane body will block the signal so you will need to have it near a window.The newer receivers do a better job of getting a lock in difficult signal locations.

you can use your iPhone in flight, as it has a flight mode. as for the gps in a iphone im not sure because a iphone uses cell towers aswell as gps. if you have a hiking style gps you cna actually use them after the seat belt sign is switched off because they aren't technically a transmitting device... but check with your airline first
I don't think you can get a signal whilst on a plane. And you don't stand a big chance of being allowed to do it anyway! :-)
I'm unsure if a airline allows it or not, but its highly unlikely to get a signal in a plane anyway.

Unlocked Iphone 3G for USA T-mobile users. 3G service fee?

I'm planning to get an iphone 3G and planning to unlock it then use it for my T-mobile service in USA. I heard that for AT&T customers, in order for them to use 3G services, they will need to pay extra fee per month. i was just wondering if this is a same case for T-mobile service. because i think razor 2 is 3G and there is no additional fee of using it. let me know if you have any ideas about 3G service with T-mobile.

Best Answer
I'm not sure if T-Mobile has developed their 3G networked yet.
I heard they just won for the 2100 and 1700 3G spectrum and is starting to build towers for it.
Their 3G might not be on yet
If your T-Mobile plan includes unlimited data, then you have absolutely no problem. The only problem would be if you DIDN'T have unlimited data included, in which you would have to pay per kilobyte, which is ludicrously expensive.
Simply make sure that you have the unlimited plan from T-Mobile, and you should be set.
If you manage to do this, which i don't advise, then it should work. T-mobile does not have 3g service in the united states like At&t does. the only way you will be able to use it on 3g would be to switch to At&T

I'm pretty sure T-Mobile 3G's only out in New York City right now, we keep seeing announcements about it being rolled out "later this year as part of our Big 5 Goal" (blah blah etc) but that's pretty vague. It doesn't cost any more at this point, as far as I recall.
not possible. you cant walk out of the store with phone in hand without signing a 2year contract with AT&T and you wont be able to purchase the phone online either.

Can I bye an iphone 3g without buying the service?

My neighbor said that if you don't buy the 2 year contract the phone would cost $400

Best Answer

Hey, yes you can indeed, but your neighbor is just simply right because the other way the phone cost about 500 dollars the contract it would be around 100 or free depending on the contract and policy of the company your buying it from.

I'm afraid that you can't do that. When the first iPhone came out AT&T had a contract with Apple that the iPhone was supposed to push customers onto AT&T's service. Since the phone could be purchased without contract it was simple for people to jailbreak the phone and get the iPhone on any service which was breaking Apple and AT&T's contract.

This is why the phone is so much cheaper than the first.... you've got to buy it with a contract.

Yes. It will be around $400 unless you buy used... look into Ebay, Craigslist, and other such places. Also try google-ing it.

If you do find one that you would like, make sure it is Unlocked, and works with your provider.
Yes, but looks like ATT has put a hold on this for now..

I went to the store and they told me that ATT will release this without contract Iphone in some time....next month

Iphone 3g has no service EVER!?

I know that ATT has the 30 day trial to return the phone and service even though you signed a new contract. Well exactly after the 30 day period was up the phone started having NO SERVICE anywhere. I searched all over the internet seen 100's of post saying the same thing. Some tried to resolve this problem by turning off the 3g mode. I did that but it didn't work for me. ATT is jipping me $100 a month for NO SERVICE. I went to the store and was pretty pissed that they would give me no kind of refund and said that I should call apple. Well I did. (took me over 30 minutes to get to a tech) They said the closest apple store would be in san antonio 150 miles from where I live! I am not going that far just to return a sucky Iphone. THey gave me the option of waiting 3 more days to return the phone and have a new 1. The thing is I've almost been a month without service and there's nothing the can do . I don't understand. I want to end my contract but they said it would be a 175 ETF (early termination fee) I got so mad! Is there anybody out there who has canceled their contract and didn't have to pay this sh*t ETF fee. I'm soo fustrated. I left Sprint FOR this? Oh yeah I upgraded to 2.0.2 because they said it should fix the problem. It only made it worse. I have no signal all day, If i did it would drop once I touched the phone. I'm SOOO mad. again I need to know how to cancel without paying the 100. I've heard all the smart as* remarks I don't need to hear it. Please....

Best Answer :
It is going to be way, way less trouble for you to just talk to Apple's iPhone support folks on the phone and just arrange to have them mail you a box so you can mail in the phone for repair. It doesn't take long: they overnight the box to you, then it overnights to and from them. You'll only be out a few days. If you can borrow an unlocked or AT&T phone from someone, you can even put the SIM card from your iPhone into that while the iPhone is getting repaired and just use the one you're borrowing in the meantime. Seriously, this is your best option.

Unless, of course, the iPhone is damaged. In which case you have a much more difficult problem.

But, if you choose the more difficult path and still want to return it:

Did you buy it from AT&T or from Apple? If you bought it from Apple, contact their phone support and ask to speak to "customer relations". See if they can help you. The problem is, Apple has nothing to do with your cell phone plan, only with your phone. AT&T is the one in charge of your plan, and thus in charge of terminating it. CR might be able to pull some strings, but they may just as likely be unable to. You will probably have to talk to AT&T as a result, since they're the ones who will want to charge you the ETF. Just keep asking to speak to a manager until you get someone with the authority to override the ETF and make your best case.

As someone who dealt with iPhone support on the company side of things for both Apple and AT&T, I can tell you that it will help you tremendously to keep your cool when speaking to them. Be calm and rational. Do not yell or shout. Acting like a wild angry person will not help your case, they are much more likely to give you what you want if you're reasonable but firm.
