[Electronics-talk] Wanting to know if anyone has any idea about an android list like the iPhone questions list or knows anything about android phones

Sun Feb 8 04:31:42 UTC 2015

I'd recommend the vi-android list. It's not a high traffic list, but 
it's well behaved and has some very knowledgeable people on it.

To subscribe to the list send an email to 
vi-android-request at freelists.org with 'subscribe' in the Subject field.
