which t-mobile android phone?
moin moin, I need to get new phones. Which of the t-mobile android phones best meet the following requirements? Required features: . bluetooth tethering . ability to turn off GPS if one is available . ssh out . bluetooth . connect to my own mail servers . root access . play ogg-vorbis . contact, etc. syncing w/ GNU/Linux Desired features: . tether and call at the same time . on phone internet connection and call at the same time . ssh in across cell network . USB tethering . fully functional while charging . root access w/o jailbreaking . wifi . tetherable via wifi . phone to phone communication via bluetooth . phone to phone communication via wifi . GPS . camera and video . external storage card, prefer sdmc . can use external display ( monitor and/or TV ) Any features that I forgot? t-mobile has Motorola CLIQ, Samsung Behold II, t-mobile myTouch and G1. Which is the better phone? I will be trying to do this w/o a contract, so deals don't matter and all phones appears to be almost equally expensive. I am interested in consumer ready, easy to use as this one is for my wife. What services/features are included in the service plan? If not, what is the add on cost? . cell phone calling? . internet access ( not just web )? . tethering? . gps? I still haven't completely decided whether I will go with the Nexxus One or N900 for my own use. Will the N900 work with t-mobile? I believe it will. I could consider ATT if I go with the N900 and it works well with ATT, but as I understand it the Nexxus One currently will not work fully with ATT. Does t-mobile carry a Linux-based, large numbered, low-cost phone? This one just needs to be able to make and receive calls on the family plan. Receiving text messages on the family plan would also be good. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/Classeshttp://www.TwoGeekTechs.com/ # Director of Engineering, FonWallet Transaction Solutions, Inc. # Boredom is self-inflicted...der.hans --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: which t-mobile android phone?
I have a myTouch since November. I like it, though it is laggy sometimes, like a computer using the swap file too much. If I were to buy now, I'd get a Nexus One. As you your requirements... - Most of your list is not possible on any Android phone unless you replace the software with some other build. There are many out there and probably can do what you want but you will then be outside the boundaries of support from T-Mobile. For you and many here on this list this is not a big problem. Just thought you should know the limitation. -- As far as I know, you will have to replace the OS build in order to get the following features: . bluetooth tethering . ssh out . root access . play ogg-vorbis . ssh in across cell network . USB tethering . tetherable via wifi - As far as I know you will not get any of the following features with any of the Android phones currently available: . tether and call at the same time . on phone internet connection and call at the same time . phone to phone communication via bluetooth . phone to phone communication via wifi . can use external display ( monitor and/or TV ) - For the feature contact, etc. syncing w/ GNU/Linux I don't know what to answer. All Android phones sync contacts, calendar, email with your Google account. So if your GNU/Linux contact management can sync with your Google accounts, it is also syncing with your phone. - The phone comes with three email apps: -- GMail is for your, um, GMail. -- Mail is for some general email account somewhere so you can use this one for your own servers. -- Work Email will connect to a (ugh) Exchange server and get email that way. -- I have several email accounts that feed to my GMail account so I can do them all in the GMail app. - The Motorola models are TVO-ized. They check all binaries for a specific signature. No signature, the binary will not run. This means only official builds of OS can be used on those phones. In other words, don't get one from Motorola if you want to change the software. I have friends with the Motorola Cliq who love the phone except that they can only update it via official releases, which are slow coming.

Re: which t-mobile android phone?
Good info Alan. Thanks I did hear the CDMAized Nexus One is supposed to hit Sprint on Mar 23. But I suspect those two reports may be bogus since I've seen no follow-up. I also saw a report that buying the Nexus One unlocked plus monthly usage ended up costing less than buying the T-Mobile subsidized one and paying the freight for the contract for the same service.

Re: which t-mobile android phone?
I could be wrong or out of date with some of my information. Tethering is possible with http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php but requires a client on the computer and does not have a Linux client. And is not Free. Check the article and comments at http://lifehacker.com/5447347/how-to-tether-your-android-phone for more tether information. That Verizon advertises tethering is a surprise to me.

Re: which t-mobile android phone?
I was told by a multi-vendor phone booth employee that none of the storefronts actually stock the Nexus One so that you end up getting it from Google in any case. He claimed the only difference was that whether you are buying a T-Mobile Nexus One or an unlocked Nexus One. I do not know if that is true or not as I later went to a T-Mobile store to check it out and there were too many customers so I did not want to wait for a sales person. However, I did a thorough look around and not only found none on display but also found no sign-age mentioning the Nexus One. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Mike Enriquez Anything should somewhat work if you want to go the ndiswrapper route, although some features might not work that way. All Broadcom chipsets fit into this category the last I knew. I have 2 Linksys WMP54G cards I can sell which fit into this category. They're better suited to windoze hosts. I also have 2 Hawking HWP54G pci cards with the rt2x00 chipset that I used five years or so ago. At that time I had to build my own driver, but it appears that drivers for this made it into the linux kernel 2 years ago, beginning with v2.6.24 (see http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I'd be happy to sell you any of these. Let me know off list if you're interested. -- -Eric 'shubes' --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
