Well since the n8x0 can do Android, then the more phones >>> more interest >>> more apps. There is already a full Office suit announced (by a commercial company, so with a price tag) and there are an stupid amount of applications ready even when no phone officialy supports it. So it can only make the tablets more interesting.

it could be the best smart phone in the market, just because 64M is believed enough by those guys who are smart.

Go download the pdf of the android programs. Very very cool. I'm an old t-mobile guy and I'll be on the pre-order list.

T-Mobile delivers a **** service here compared to KPN and Vodafone. Not even 100% GSM coverage (KPN and Vodafone do provide this) and bad 3G coverage (compared to KPN and Vodafone). iPhone users are tied to T-Mobile... but that is Apple. What is this new trend of devices being tied to one mobile operator? Geez.
SSH will probably be ported to Android if the device has some momentum. Else, tethering is useful (which the iPhone cannot provide).
Although I'll probably buy a N96 anyway.

They already have 2 or 3 phones (Samsung t819, and one or two of the Nokias) that use their UMTS frequencies, and they've already rolled out their 3G service in some markets.

Shame for Nokia, really; with T-Mobile in a bind and the N95 having no real market presence in the States, Nokia producing a N95-5 for T-Mobile might have helped out both companies.

I'd be buying an N95-5 N95-? capable of operating on UMTS band IV instead of some cheap BT tethering phone, if they had one.

N96 is due next month and will support dual-band HSDPA (900 MHz and 2100 MHz). Maybe your country (or T-Mobile) needs to get their standards straight. With only 2 cities having rolled out 3G thats pretty sad coverage, but still chance for a change.
Is there any information about Android being released in Europe?
