[Vanhackspace] Motorola Milestone, Rogers data plan?

[Sean Hill]

Just curious to see if this discussion on phones and carriers can be
expanded a bit.

Anyone have any other thoughts on Milestone vs Nexus One?
What about other Android devices? (I've been drooling a bit over the
Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs)
Is Nexus One the most open/hackable Android?

I'm thinking about this mostly from a software hackers POV. I want to be
able to write and install what I want for my device. That also makes me
wonder about carriers. I've been watching Wind Mobile get going and like
the unlimited data option, but I understand they've got a very limited
number of ports open which really blocks development and usage. Thoughts
on best carrier for a powerful Android?
