I think the majority of the people bashing the phone here are missing the point.
1. This phone is revolutionary. With a completely open OS you can do whatever you want, write any program you want. T-Mobile has already said video capture and stereo bluetooth would be addressed in a future update.
2. Stop comparing it to the iphone already! An iphones an iphone, just like a sidekicks a sidekick and a blackberry is a blackberry.
3. If you dont like the phone, just dont buy it! There are tons of phones out there, chances are there has to be atleast one that meets all the requirements and has the capabilities that you're looking for.
All I'm saying is that with an open OS you can do damn near whatever you want with this phone, the possibilities are endless and thats what makes this such a neat phone!

Maybe?!?! . . . Personally I do not like to use phones that I have to flip, open, slide, etc. to access some controls or have them operational. For me it is such a bother. Full qwerty keypads maybe useful but I think they make the phone ugly. Big and clear display screens are a must for me. Can anyone please innovate and stop aping the iPhone.

I also do not see a notes or memo option? Can you find out if the phone has these options. This would be esetial to a business person.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Danger is my middle name. Sorry we are not all old and still have to pull over to text someone. Texting has become an ease with most phones. I dont even have to look at the phone to do so, now this phone that would be a diffrent story. Looks like I would have to set it down on a desk and type on it like a keyboard.

Savor, 02 Oct 2008Despite media reports to the contrary, this isn’t an iPhone-Android fight. Comparing iPhone to... moreNever mind the principals of Android, I think this is more about consumer choice and market competition. - its opening up the awareness of device O/S. I went into a rogers dealership and asked 'what phones here use symbian' and the guy stares at me. He says 'the iphone has its own operating system, and there is windows mobile...'.
Hopefully this will draw some attention to a market that could use a little more competitive stimulation, cuz frankly, most of the options here are pretty lame.

One other down fall, calender view. I prefer the iPhone calender because of the full month view and daily appointmnets view all on one page. Just highlight the day and it shows the agenda for that day to the right side. This one has a month view but you have to open each day to see the acutal agaenda for each day.

This phone is for kids!!!! who use both hands to type. Hello us grown folks, drive cars and multitask. Has anyone noticed how far the space button is from the right side, how hard is it going to be to use your right thumb on the "space button, g button, t button, 5 button" come on I have regular hands. I'm not Yao Ming.

john, 03 Oct 2008T-mobile 2 yr contract...in U.S makes the fone 179. but u also need to subscribe to the 3G dat... morethe G1 doesn't require a higher data plan, people can't do simple math anymore. For example:
T-Mobile Dash - $14.99 a month for unlimited messaging and $20 a month for unlimited EDGE websurfing
or 4.99 a month for 400 messages and 19.99 a month for unlimited EDGE websurfing
G1 -$35 a month for unlimited 3g or EDGE websurfing and unlimited messaging or $25 a month for 400 messages and unlimited web.

The G1 looks promising, and i do believe that it may be better than the iPhone. I have an iPhone, and the hype is well... too much. Too many bugs for my taste. If this phone is cheap enough, i may just switch to it. If not, im locked in with 3g for a while.
