I have decided to put my nexus, n900 and android tablet on EBay to buy some new kit but to also remove the pain these devices are giving me at the moment. The Nexus with Froyo doesn't work for me because all of my apps aren't available in the App Store or just don't work. The N900 is still too rough around the edges 6 months on and I believe Nokia alately seem to be distancing themselves from it thus making it a niche product. The android table whilst cheap needs a higher specification to be of any use. @ gerrymoth on twitter asked well what phone next? To be honest the HTC Desire looks interesting but I am waiting to see what Apple delivers in the Iphone 4G. I am expecting my gadget sale to be able to fund an Ipad but I am still wary of Iphone OS. Maemo , Symbian and Android have meant I have been PC free for 2 years but the Iphone since the 2G doesn't seem to have moved on because it requires Itunes . So I am challenging anyone reading this to convert me

Well what a bad decision this was....? Because froyo is new half of my paid applications don't appear in the marketplace. Then any applications I have installed must be unstable because the nexus is just hanging on the launcher force closing all of the time. It was nice to see the ram boost given by froyo by enabling the second bank of ram as does the cynanogen rom. But Google should have warned both people and developers that applications would either need updating to run on the new os even if
