I'm keen to pick up one of these phones, probably not until May at the earliest but even so, and I'll need information between now and then to decide if it's a viable option. Personally I'm not a fan of Apple in general, but that's not to say I've slated all Apple products without giving them the chance, I can see the value in some of them, but for these Android phones I was switched onto them by the fact you can get Last.fm on them, a strong selling point for me. Unfortunately it seems Vodafone will need to get their act together between now and April (?) to make them a market contender.
