This is what I had hoped Android would be when I first heard about it before it was fully available. It looks like the OS still needs polish but not bad. And only $200 with a dock.

Here is a video walkthrough I found on youtube. I am not sure how up to date it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjaJJ6o-mbM

Me too. I just assumed I would be able to treat it like the computer it is. For some reason everything has to be different just because I can make phone calls with it?

Modems and ARM did complicate things.

I guess, but I can treat my raspberry pi like a normal computer. And I still don't what having a modem has to do with anything since my computer in the 90's had a modem.

You can't treat a pi like a normal pc? You can't put a usb drive in a new pi and boot into an OS installer. You have to use their custom system of flashing the sd card. That's after someone specifically crosscompiled a distro targeting pi hardware.
