Exclusive Preview: Chameleon OS for Android

Well, it’s that time of year again for me to start looking for my new personal cell phone. This time around I’m going to be switching from BlackBerry to Android. Looking through the soon to be released Android lineup on Verizon I was quite impressed. I figured since I did the work already I might as well share it with you. Take a look after the jump for the comparisons.

    Damn you boaks…. I was actually writing up something similar because I’m weighing my options for a new phone.. where we sit right now, i’m voting Bionic because by the time of release it will be at Android 2.3 or 2.4 .. and it’s a tegra2 which makes a huge difference against those other options.

      sorry man. your more than welcome to use it or add to it here. I’m still not sure what the heck to get.

      ahh but what about Netflix? Maybe you might not be a big netflix fan, but lots of others are, and it appears it will be locked down to Snapdragon processor devices only for the time being. Will be interesting to see what happens with that

    Where do future phones like the Droid X and Incredible S stock up against these bad boys? Looking for a good reason to skip out on BB :)

      Honestly, unless you absolutely need 4G service, or can be near a charger on and off through the day, then stick with one of the new 3G droids coming out very soon. The Inc S, DroidX2, Droid 3, ect.. Lots of options in the near future. Something RIM cant say what so ever :)

    I agree. I’m still not sold on dual core making that much of a difference on cell phones right now anyway. I thinks the phones would start stumbling on themselves with bigger processors

    I’m aware of the netflix angle, qualcomm has that pretty well locked up. I’m a fan of what Nvidia is doing and the tegra platform. The consumption rates are actually lower because of how it handles everything so in comparison to a 1ghz snapdragon the 1ghz dual core tegra2 actually uses less power when running normal apps and such. I’m not concerned with the 4G aspect because I’m never really going to get 4G here in Connecticut at least not for a year or so…

      Agreed, Tegra2′s are nice. Now, those new quad-core Tegra’s… ;) hmmm

    This site loads mobile on my Droid, as it should. But, it only shows the TB and some of the Bionic in the comparison. Think the content could be formatted to view on mobile phones?

    I hope the Thunderbolt gets here soon. My 9550 needs a break.
