I've never seen an Android in the real world, so I couldn't comment on if it's any good. Nah, no love for Android.

It was a work perk, so the bill doesnt come to me which is even better but the thing has a barcode scanner, so I can scan barcodes while shopping and compare with online prices, just another way it saves money :) great post No Android love? ;) I just got the Android Hero also on the sprint network.

I 'm not sure the final price we got on the Beatles, so I just went with the "more than $160" number. Yes you are. I ‘m not sure the final price we got on the Beatles, so I just went with the “more than $160″ number.

$15 – $1 = $14 (Beatles)

Unless I’m missing something – it looks to me like you made $156 + $14 = $170

Proves that I’m way past just watching Numbers :)

Man, Windows is bad enough on computer -- on a cellphone, it's terrible. It's now sitting on a shelf unused. We have the LG Windows Mobile phone — we got it free with our cell phone plan.

There are LOTS of uses for an iPhone.

And an iPhone can be had for $99 now. These are one time costs and really pale in comparison to the network. That's why I linked to the PC World article. I haven't use the Windows mobile phone from LG, but I know the Treo 700P had touch-screen browsing as well. It's processor was too slow to use Ebay effectively. It would take 2 minutes to render a page with any kind of images even on a 3G network. The Pre on the same 3G network can do it in about 5-6 seconds. I'm trying to inconspicuous and quick here and looking up the completed sales on Ebay is about 5 screen away (due to needing to login as well).

One example is my Windows mobile phone from LG, which includes touch-screen browsing and GPS. Cost me $50 new. There may be other features that you like better about your phone, but those aren't mentioned in your post.
