You're completely missing the big picture. Since anyone can develop apps for this, and since the entire OS is customizable, its really only a matter of time before all of your complaints are addressed. And besides, to compare it to Crapple's product, it does everything and then some, plus a full keypad, plus (and I hope i'm not the only one who noticed) it supports flash!! And why do people think the design is poor? Looks great to me, even in white.

    "So thanks, but no thanks"?? Excuse me GSMArena, would you please let us, the _customers_, decide?

    Personally I don't think this fone is that bad. It may not have the looks of the HTC Touch HD or the iPhone, but from what I've seen it's quite ok... I kind of like the keyboard and its round keys. And if it's as responsive as you'd expect from a Google product (judging by Chrome, Picasa and Google Earth), then I couldn't really care less about the lack of stereo BT or video recording!

          The only nice thing: "Built in compass... allowing live 360-degree cityscape browsing just by turning the handset around."

          Other than that, sigh...

              "So we waited a whole year now just to see a poor iPhone replica with a QWERTY keyboard that doesn't even look half as good. It seems HTC have not put any effort in the design - and even the functionality is flawed. So thanks, but no thanks! Let's see the next one, please!"

              It's sad but true... Lets wait the next contenders

                My 6 month old daughter has a device similar to the G1, it's called Speak & Spell. You can find them at your local toy store.

                    This phone is garbage as with all the phones T-Mobile has in its selections of handsets. Yet another junk phone!!!! Google should really stick to search engines.....I wonder if I can Google an expression that best describes their software....Googarbage. (trademark pending)
