Disgrace that in 2010 a product which claims tobe universaland is competingto become the leading OS for mobile phonesand other gadgets can't get this right - See support in Windows and on the iPhone
DO NOT Buy as you may get annoying squares if anybody uses an unsupported on a web site, SMS, e-mail or other textual programs.

Great phone but looses out completely due to lack of language support for right to left languages used in the middle east and some of the Asian languages…
That feature isn't a dealbreaker for me at all. Having a square that shows up in an email twice a year seems (read: IS) insignificant. People that use a supported language shouldn't avoid buying a device just because it doesn't support someone else's language.
Android is only 2 years old and I expect that Google is focusing on honing the OS a bit before porting it to every language out there. Believe me, Google has not forgotten about this sector of the market and I'm sure support will come at some point.

Lack of fulllanguage support is just one of the shortcomings of the Android OS outside the limited languages supported.
Another issue is voice dialling. In some jurisdictions this makesit illegal to use while driving/riding. Aside from the legality of using the device in a vehicle the question of safety of the driver/passengers and other road users is a consideration. Anyone who drives and wants to use the phone in car should only go for phones that allow you complete hands free operation.
But this digresses - language support should be included in an OS that wants to become a global leader
