I'm very happy with Android. But, I only recommend the Nexus line and this post seems to back that up (we'll see as things go forward).

that's choosing the lesser of two evils. my nexus one shows as green, yes, i have all the latest software, but no fix yet for the touchscreen issue. That alone would make the nexus one RED since launch on that table for me, as this hints to zero support. try to use your touch screen for 10min while the device is charging from an empty battery (some other use cases also trigger the bug, but this is 100% reproductible)

  Is that a hardware issue? Never had a touchscreen problem myself when charging.

    a combination of hardware and software. cheap hardware used in some lots require software recalibration on the driver. if this does not happen to your phone you are in the happy minority of nexus one users. to the rest of us, while using the touch screen for extended periods of time (shorted if using both fingers and/or charging) it will start to behave erradicaly. Touching one area will register a touch somewhere else. This is also affected by the pressure. the harder you press the less likely to see the bug. It will get worse and affect larger areas until you turn the screen off and on again (lock, unlock and it's back to perfect condition) worth to mention, this does not happens with some mods. but i haven't rooted my phone as i use it mostly for development and like to test against the stock image.

      I saw a very similar bug with my Motorola Cliq (which eventually, half-heartedly got updates) using the stock T-Mobile ROMs and Cyanogen Mod. Though I didn't track it down to that specific case I actually tended to use it while charging pretty heavily. Not sure if they're using the same hardware for part of the touchscreen, the S definitely had higher-end hw in general.

  have you tried using a different charger? Usually that helps.

    never thought about that... but it that happens with the two stock chargers, the iphone wall charger, the desktop dock, and with the car charger and running the GPS app. the car charger+gps app is in fact the worst case, as it will not need touch screen usage to happen. and will happen very fast and all the time. so basically, using the gps for more then 20min, i know i will have to: press power button to turn screen off, press it again to turn screen on, type PIN, press the damn gps button i needed to press 2min ago.
