Okay, not exactly the technology bug but more of the Android bug. A friend of mine let me babysat his Motorola Droid for a week. At first, Android was a daunting experience but after a few Google here and there and I am now totally into the Android experience.

I was so hooked that I considered running away with my friend's Droid. Well, it's a good thing that the Android bug bit me because I'm due for an upgrade soon (though I'm on AT&T). Right now, AT&T doesn't have a lot of Android phones that I seem to like. The Backflip doesn't really attract me as much. Did a bit of searching and it seems that the latest Android phones right now are the HTC Desire, Xperia X10, and the HTC Legend. I wanted to get the Nexus One but most of the guys at forums are saying that the HTC Desire is better.

The problem is, there's still no known date or carrier here in the US who will get the HTC Desire. I think that the HTC Desire is available in Europe. The best HTC Desire deals that I found seems to be with T-Mobile. I was about to ask a relative in the UK if they could purchase a T-Mobile Desire for me but then someone made mention that it wont' work here in the US because it will be network locked. I've searched for unlocked HTC Desire in some UK retailers and I couldn't believe that some of them are actually offering mobile phone with free gifts. Was again, tempted to get one but when I calculated everything, the total cost is waay too much than an unlocked one on eBay. So now, I'm going the eBay way. I can't believe I'm actually excited to get a new phone.
