Looks like you like Android a lot. Can you share the enlighenment how you do the screenshots?

Also very interested to see the Samsung i7500, which should appear next month at O2 Germany :)
Missed this one, the HTC Hero build ported to the G1:

Hey, can a port of Android be put together for the moto q9h? where does one start?
Ahmed, this might be a good place to start: the Android porting mailing list.
