T-Mobile G1 Plus Wind Mobile= Perfection. Any android phone would perform well. So far loving my G1. Its great and works nicely with Windmobile haven't had any issues. It even supported Sim Tool Kit. Which means that I have that special menu which allows me to check my account balance and rate plan... I wouldn't to have to dial numbers to get this information thats too much effort. SMS go through well without delay and calls sound crisp and clear. Not going to touch base on reception because its biased in my opinion to say that one phone has better reception then the other. I also have a Huawei and I have great reception with it while others say that its by far the worst device in terms of reception. Honestly if you wanted to know how well your phone is doing in terms of reception switch to Wind Away, if you can, and you'll see that its all about the network and has nothing to do with the phone. I don't blame Wind for low reception in some areas, those are things that they are clearly improving everyday.
The only missing thing under Android - app for replacing phone number with name in missed calls sms notification.
And... that would be trivial to implement. Really.
You just register a new broadcast receiver for android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED, read in the SMS and do a search and substitute for phone numbers based on the address book or some online 411 database.
Alternatively, you could simply add this function into the default SMS broadcast receiver (android *is* open source you know...)
droidhacker,
Thank you very much for explanation! I already installed SDK and Eclipse so I will definitely try to do it, despite I hate Java :-)
Funny, if it is as easy, why haven't anyone did it before for Android? Am I the only one who need such app?
It is a pretty specialized kind of thing. It wouldn't even be beneficial at ALL for a provider that doesn't provide missed-call SMS messages. I actually don't even like those messages -- if I'm gone for a while, I don't want to come back to 8 billion SMS messages beeping at me.... but that's a personal preference.
I use a T mobile Touch Pro 2 and have no problems! It is a great phone especially with 3rd ROM.
