Why do they make phones with slide-out keyboards? All the other input methods on the touchscreen phones are faster and less fiddly, like Block-recognizer and Transcriber and even the onscreen keyboards. If I could pull it out of my HTC and bin it I would.

iphone is 2 meg camera which is a shame, has night mode but no flash, it is a good 2 meg camera however but for todays technology would expect at least 5 meg

G1 camera isn't great either!

I think it's excellent.  Leaves the whole of the screen for display, and you can type much more quickly and accurately on a hardware keyboard than a soft-keyboard.  You can always use a soft-keyboard on the G1 if you really want to as well.

Oh and a lot of those reviews are incorrect.  The G1 does support Microsoft Exchange for one.

"The bigger issue is that the bottom section of the G1 makes it awkward to hold the phone when typing messages, since your right hand doesn't quite have the full range of motion. It definitely affected the speed and accuracy of typing."

Does the reviewer have only one hand?  Did Abu Hamza write that review?

I have the G1 and its a fantastic phone.  I have T-Mobile contract where I have always on Internet and the texts n calls allowance every month.

Everything Kin has said pretty much sums it up (see other mobile phone post somewhere) the battery life isnt excellent, but I have an in car charger so just charge as I go if I am out and about.  I paid my 1st bill about 14 days after my contact started and was able to transfer my existing mobile phone number by requesting my pac code from previous provider and gave it to t-mobile and they had me up n running on my existing number within 48 hours.

I just love this phone its amazing it does everything but wash the dishes for me.

Also, where the G1 is behind in terms of applications or any short-comings of the OS, this will be rectified as the open-source nature of the software and the might of Google behind it means that it's going to be continuously improving.  They announced today an imminent update of the OS with lots of new features. 

If all you want is to listen to music, watch some videos as well as text and talk, then I wouldn't recommend the G1.

Work gives us a mobile and this year it is a Blackberry. I also have the G1 which is my personal phone. The Berry I have is no where near as good as the G1 from my personal experience.

I have the Samsung Pixon. Music player can be better but plays AVI videos you can transfer from your comp and an 8 megapixel camera with flash. Internet browser is pretty crap though.

Samsung Omnia is a Damn fine device, includes SatNav built in and newer version apparently records near HD video.

Vodafone include unlimited internet.
