Hi Ehsun. It seems that you've got an Android phone. May I ask you what it is, and how you like it?

Hi Mohammad,
How are you?
My phone is a HTC Google Nexus One.
I bought it to try Android programming and also I guessed it would be a nice handheld. I was wrong! It is something more than a phone or a handheld. I should say that Android is a Google product indeed.
The synchronization with Google, MS Exchange and other online accounts such as Facebook is very nice. I have all of my Google contacts, Google documents and Picassa albums and my Google calendars all with me.
The WiFi settings are excellent. You can set static IP, gatway and ... in secends.
It's GPS integration with Google Maps make a very nice AGPS that I should say its the best in the world.
The only problem that is bothering me: there is no support for Arabic/Persian font till the official release for Middle East. You know it released for US on March, and I will wait for the updates.
Oh updates!!!: I've got an update 2 days ago. My phone asked to restart and after it came up wow!!! I had Goggles app on my phone! If you have not heard of it (same as me) just Google "Goggles" and you will find how the phone is fruitful for life.
Anyway I'm happy with the SDK and the architecture of the OS.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I think the future of smart phones is the Android.
When you say it doesn't support Persian, you are talking about input, or it even doesn't show persian websites and email?
What about the apps available to it? How does it compare to iPhone?

Even the output :(
You know what, it is not a technical issue. The fonts doesn't have the Arabic letters. To install the new fonts you need the permissions. So you may root the phone to do that. Or you can wait for the release for Middle East.

Mohammad said...

So, have you rooted your phone or still waiting for the next update? By the way, when is the next update scheduled for?

Seven said...

No I didn't root it and I won't do that.
I will check for the date of release but the language update may release a bit before that.
