Can anyone tell me which Android phones CANNOT be rooted?

I'm looking to get another phone because my rooted G1 is awesome, but the battery sux and there isn't a headphone jack. Want the Nexus, but can't afford it on my current contract. So, I've got it narrowed down to myTouch3G, or the Cliq XT. But the ability to have root access is a must. Does anyone have a list of Androids that do NOT have root capability?

Thanks in advance

Nexus One 3G/Reception Issues?

Does anyone know how far off Google is in solving the Nexus One's 3G/Reception issues? Or how I can stay on top of it and be notified? I have T-Mobile and I want to buy one, however, not until that is solved. Thanks. 😢

Transparent Notification Screen

A while ago, I was watching a video on youtube about the HTC hero, and they guy who was narrating the video had a transparent notification window, the one you slide down from the top. Is there an app for this? Or would I need to root my phone to use it?

Concern of Oversaturation

Google needs to take a little tighter control of the mess of Android phones going to be release.

I'm seeing lots of android phones with older OS version being released, many under powered releases in favor of a smaller price, companies saturating carriers with similar phones (T-mobile has G1, 3 MyTouches with another on the way, 1 Cliq and another on the way, Nexus One, but only 1 has 2.1)
I'm seeing feet being dragged on updating older phones.

At this rate how is Google going to keep up if phones are being pumped out in the double digits in mere months?

I don't want them to repeat the same mistakes WinMo made.

Next up for Android is "Froyo" & "Gingerbread"

As this article points out, Google is going in alphabetical order with these treat names.

Hmm, I wonder if any of these newer versions of Android will tie in with ATT launching Android smartphones. Google needs to get their act together and enable saving apps on memory cards damn it!!!!!

I've never heard of a pastry called "Froyo", anyone else?

Hardware change

Ok so here is a question for the hacker programmer type. I am really liking the Android platform so far, but like most of the phones I have owned over the years I am not super thrilled with the hardware. Is it possible to take say a HTC TP2 and drop the android OS on it?

Slidescreen (APP)

Just curious how many people tried out this app.

I REALLY like it, and the only thing keeping me from buying it is that it doesn't sync with google talk/facebook.

If they could make it so it would take over one main "screen" and leave the other homescreens intact, it would be perfect IMO. I love how it displays data, but I use things like Talk and Pandora too much to make it default home screen.

MyTouch Android is a P.O.S.

I don't know what is to blame, Android of T-Mobile's version of it. However, I just tried one of these things, and this particular mix definitely fails.

The menu is just a big unorganized mess. The entire user interface is pretty, but not especially helpful. I would rather have a simple old vertical text menu, not different screen designs for everything.

It can't run Java applications. The phone tells me it doesn't support them. I guess I am now in an Apple-ish world where the phone only supports stuff from the official marketplace.

The web browser is not especially good. It's slow, which might be just due to the MyTouch hardware. Using Opera Mini on the T-Mobile Tap or Highlight is much better than the MyTouch's native brows...

problems with feedback while talking

can anyone please tell me where on the phone to find the actual minutes of talk time that the customer has ran up on the phone before I can figure out if I need to process it as a warranty or DOA?!?! She is complaining of feedback noise while she is talking. Even if it is just listening to her voicemails. It comes and goes, doesn't do it all the time. Has anyone else had this issue?
