<p>Well, if you switch to a GSM network (where you get more control and flexibility), you could get an HTC Dream or a Nexus One and run whatever you want on it. I am still running the Dream, but plan to buy a new phone in the next 1 to 3 years when one comes out that is (IMHO) worth upgrading to.</p>
<p>The latest CyanogenMod, which is built around Android 2.2 with the JIT compiler (disabled by default, but easy enough to enable) has put a breath of new life in my current phone, so I don't feel like I need to upgrade anymore for now.</p>
