While you make some good points I'm gonna take it you own a iphone. I have a g1 and I love it. I and all of my friends think the phone looks great idk what ur talkin about. I've had a side kick, side kick 3, a side kick lx, a black berry pearl, a black berry 8800, and have toyed around with the iphone and other such smart phones and I think the g1 performs the best. If u ask me the iphone is just an Ipod that makes phone calls. As far as the 3g coverage it doesn't maker there is built in wi fi and even without the 3g its still fast. The phone doesn't have a lot of apps right out of the box so u can pick ur own from the market place for what way ur gonna use it. Oh and the market place and all apps are FREE! Its called personalizing ur phone not just having what everyone else does. I give the g1 5 stars out of 5 stars.

This is a completely open mobile OS - that means tha the phone will have WAY more applications and capabilities in just a short time. Exchange integration is already coming - wrike.com has a contact syncing tool and there is a site called aardvarkforandroid.com that is saying they are close to beta testing full exchange sync capabilities for the Gphone.

unbiased iphone user (or envier) i presume?
only a few specific criticisms apart from the dozen or so aroused during the read:

are you really going to criticize expandable, program-independent storage?

ipod/iphone sound quality is lackluster to say the least. my windows mobile 5.0 phone literally has comparable sound quality to my one year old ipod.

(o and since you played the devils advocate so well (shamelessly denouncing all google's initial product offerings) in your article and developed so much credibility in the process, sarcasm there, im going to point out that, "My initial reaction here was along the lines of “WTF, are Google completely insane!” should be ..."is Google completely..." as Google is a singular entity and "are" is used for plural or second-person nouns.)

It's nice, but not impressive.

I keep seeing consumer and news websites focusing on the price, 'oooh it's $20 bucks cheaper'.. They seem to fail to recognise a number of the flaws in the phone and that ultimately we're still going to have issues because the existing 3G networks are so overloaded with all these new 3G phones that it won't matter if you're using an iPhone, a gPhone, or Nokia, you'll still get call drop outs.
