5 days after installing Android Froyo into my HTC HD2 Smartphone
I installed Android Froyo Version 2.2 on 26 August 2010. I had been reading up about this installation and latest version since a 2 months ago. However, i do not have the time and motivation in porting over the latest Android platform.
If thats so, why did I willing to do it on 26 August 2010?
It was because my HTC HD2 in Windows Mobile went dead on 25 August 2010 night. I lost all my contacts, data that is within the Smartphone's memory. I blame myself for not backing up my contacts and data anywhere. Therefore the following day, I went to download all the tools required and reconfirming my actions posted in both XDA developers Forum and HTC HD2 thread from HardwareZone Forum.
The above screenshot shows the initial part of my OS. Nothing is inside and its a clean installation of Android Froyo version 2.2.
After 5 days of usage, I am very happy with this OS rather than my previous Windows Mobile. In most of the developers' dream in XDA developer forum, most of them wanted to install Android into HTC HD2 from a long long time ago. It is such a great device being still the most "HUGE" 4.3" screen and power hardware Smartphone in the market. With Android OS inside, I can say its one of the greatest combination at the moment in the Singapore Market. I didn't mention HTC Evo 4G as they are not suitable for use in the Singapore Market.
Great thanks to XDA developers, HardWareZone HTC section.

Android Games
This video shows a few games that is being run in the Android platform. Most of these games are free and can be downloaded in the Android Market. Motorola Milestone is being used in this video.
Personally, I felt that Android gave us many options to customize what the users need in order to be unique and own a phone truly urs.

A phone that its basic phone usage fails
Apple has released official advice for iPhone 4 owners to overcome the problem of the device losing signal when held by the lower left corner.
Steve Jobs responded to a query about the problem from one owner by saying: "Just avoid holding it in that way."
The official advice is to "avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band".
Alternatively, said Apple, customers could buy a case to shield the antenna.
The iPhone 4 went on sale on 24 June, with hundreds of people queuing outside Apple's flagship store in central London for the launch.
Many new owners reported that signal strength dropped when the phone was held.
In a statement, Apple said: "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas."
Steve Jobs issued his response in a message responding to an e-mail from the Ars Technica news site. Mr Jobs wrote that "All phones have sensitive areas".
The problem is thought to be particularly acute for left-handed owners who naturally touch the phone in the sensitive area.
The casing of Apple's latest phone is made of stainless steel, which also serves as its antenna.
Apple sells a rubber "bumper" that shields the sensitive area as do many other firms.
Richard Warner, one of the first to buy an iPhone 4, contacted BBC News, saying that he thought the phone was "useless in its current state".
"Apple have created a phone that has an antenna on the bottom left-hand side of the phone."
"This means that when you hold it in your left hand, the signal bars slowly fade until there is no signal," he wrote.
'Complaints'
A number of videos have been posted on video sharing site YouTube complaining about the reception issue.
One video had an American user running a speed test, with hands on and hands free.
In it, the user 'awington' says that, while holding the phone "it won't even run the test when I am holding the phone... once I let go, it makes a connection and runs the test.
"Hold it a second time, and the upload test will not start."
Social networking site Twitter was full of chatter, with numerous tweets on the reception problems.
The issue might stem from the way the integrated antenna is constructed. One section provides mobile reception, while another is for wi-fi.
Some users have speculated that touching the bottom of the phone bridges this gap, affecting signal strength.
When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone 4 at Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, he described the integrated antenna as "really cool engineering".

Plastic
<1> PETE, aka PET (polyethylene terephthalate) Used for most transparent bottles, such as water, soda, cooking oil, and medicine bottles. Generally safe to use (not reuse); generally recycled.
<2> HDPE (high density polythylene) Sturdy, rigid plastic found in reusable food storage containers, milk and detergent bottles. Generally safe; generally recycled.
<3> PVC (polyvinyl chloride) Used for plastic wrap, and detergent and cooking oil bottles. Additives in PVC can increase the risk of birth defects and hormone-related cancers. Its production can be hazardous to workers and the environment. Generally not safe; not recycled.
<4> LDPE (low density polyethylene) Flexible plastic used for bags or wraps, such as produce bags and baby-bottle liners. Most number 4 plastics are not designed for reuse. Generally safe; generally not recycled.
<5> PPE, aka PP (polypropylene) Pliable plastic found in squeeze bottles, reusable food containers, and yogurt and margarine tubs. Generally safe; generally recycled.
<6> PS (polystyrene) Used in rigid take-out containers and foam meat trays. Can leach styrene when heated, a possible endocrine disruptor and human carcinogen. Not safe when heated; generally not recycled.
<7> Other; most often refers to PC (polycarbonate) This plastic is most commonly used for baby bottles, five-gallon water jugs, and reusable sports water bottles. It can leach out the hormone-disruptor bisphenol A, especially when heated. Because this group can include various other plastics, it has limited recycling potential.
