No strings; GV; wireless tethering; 2.3 keybd is almost as great as voice-to-text
& if nothing else, the notification bar!

That’s my twitter-sized list of pros to add to to the list in the Lifehacker.com article:

My HTC Aria is wonderfully smaller than iPhone, and has a battery life of 36hrs plus - I usually plug it in each night just to top it off; but I forgot last night and it still has 26% left!

That said, if some iPhone in the future ever can beat Android at these things, I’ll definitely consider returning to the phone platform I enjoyed using for 25mos.

Interestingly, I’m typing this on my iPad2. Of which I chose over all the Android options, because (at least for now) I believe it to be the superior tool.
