It is a great feeling to have a device that has an unlockable bootloader and root. However, it is even better to have great developer support and many custom ROMs available. Devices like the Nexus S and Nexus One have tremendous developer support since they are developer phones and extremely easy to unlock. The Nexus S easily has 10+ [...]

Edgar Cervantes on Jun 28, 2011 at 10:49 am This ,700 device is the first to mix luxury with toughness in an Android smartphone. The device itself is fairly good, but it’s definitely not designed for the average tech nerd. Most of us can’t afford its price, so it’ll probably be directed towards rich/powerful/famous people.

It seems to be an overly broad statement, but it really is true. No matter how you look at the Android Market, app quality is low. Pathetically low.
