You have access to the Free Applications by default to see the Paid applications in your Mobile then check for Amitabhisheks posts in this thread. You will find a hack which allows your phone to see the paid applications. But Im not sure if you can purchase like this as I have never tried.

OK I went though this thread lots of interesting discussion. I had thought "fan boys" were gone from this forum

@Praveen: Thank for mentioning Spica. looks like I will end up buying this phone.
A few question.
Will I be able to upgrade Spica to Froyo?
Will there be any new mobiles coming with 2.2 loaded in the next few months?
I can wait for may be two months for a alternate for Spica.

@Kalpik: Good old days!!

I feel 15K itself is way too high for a cellphone

Any other upcoming phone models?

Samsung is currently testing froyo on spica, so rest assured Spica is going to get 2.2 upgrade sooner or later

Google hasn't yet released source code of Froyo; once source code is available we will have ample ROM forks for our devices.

After going through Specs of Xperia X8...I think there is no much of differnce Between it and HTC legend from Average user point of View...that too if some one compare to price difference they have.....

I really appreciate if somebody have other view on this...

Chk this out :
RockPlayerBase: The Android AVI, MKV, DIVX and RMVB player | OMG Android

“Since Android was introduced, there have been many complaints about its lack of .avi and .divx playback. Since then there has been a few phones with .divx capabilities but there still was no player for the rest of us. The RockPlayerBase allows any Android 2.1 handset to playback XviD, DivX, Mkv and even RMVB files.”
​

RockPlayerBase fixes this and can play all of the files above, which closes the media gap. As there are more formats available due to this player, it means that there won’t be much need for video converters and it makes it easier to quickly place media onto an android device without needing to worry if it works or not.

Saw Galaxy S promo on TV; so finally they are on !

Anyone here on Cyanogens Stable 5.08 ? Happen to install it today and I find it very neat and it pretty much provides all functionality I need. The menu and graphics seem to have changed alto as well.

I found the Weather Widget very nice however I'm not sure if that was "The Weather Channel's " Widget . Either way it pulls pretty the weather to a fair accurate location and I have access to an updated supply of news .

 

[amitabhishek]

Yeah! I have been on 5.0.8 since Sunday. Its giving me some great battery life. Abudant customization options available. Loving it!

BTW Froyo source is out; guess we can expect 2.2 mod very soon for our devices!!!

 

[kalpik]

^^ Froyo source has been out for more than a month

 

[dreamcatcher]

^^Nopes. Just out yesterday.

 

[kalpik]

Ok, my bad.. Maybe they released the tarball yesterday.. But the actual source was on github a LONG time back

 

[amitabhishek]

No it was released just yesterday;

Android Developers Blog: The Froyo Code Drop

The half-a$sed modded Froyo ROMs that were available till now were based on Froyo's SDK (not source) and bits of Froyo OTA update for Nexus One.

Installed Villian ROM 10.3 on my Hero. To be honest my phone is really messed up right now. Can't even wipe the ext partition.
