[tlug] Android in Japan at last?

[Dave M G <dave@example.com>]

TLUG,

A little while ago I was whining because it seemed like gPhones/Android 
would never come to Japan in any reasonable time frame.

I might be wrong. Docomo has apparently announced the HT-03A phone for 
launch sometime from June or July:

For some reason, I hate Docomo, though I can't remember why.

But I'm willing to leave SoftBank for Docomo if it means getting my long 
awaited open-source phone (I can reasonably call it an open source 
phone, can't I? At least on the software level?).

Maybe... I'm still not sure of the specs. I don't see anything about how 
many GB of storage (or even if it has GBs... MBs?) and it's usability as 
a music player.

But it is pretty sexy looking. I was worried I'd be embarrassed to show 
my sad-ass looking T-mobile G1 style phone in front of my iPhone using 
friends. But the HT-03A has a nice clean design.

I'm mentioning it now because you guys always seem to have the inside 
track on potential problems.

If anyone can think of why I shouldn't jump immediately onto the gPhone 
bandwagon... let me know?
