Yep, I agree Soren, aren’t people bored with Apple’s so-called perfection…I hear MacBook users will soon have to pay for what is essentially a service pack to upgrade their operating system.

Wer braucht ein iPhone wenn man ein G1 hat.
G1 ist auf alle Fälle besser wie ein iPhone den Apfel hat ja jeder

It’s the fact that it has a bend and a join, it really does look cheap and 1980s…

Sadly, the T-Mobile G1 looks like a cheap all-in-one TV remote, bought from QVC…

To be honest, neither am I, it looks kludgy and if, as you say, it lacks various of the features iPhone users enjoy, then it’s not going to be an iPhone killer in any way, shame or form; just as Chrome is not a Firefox killer.

I’m not convinced by the G1 as a serious “competitor” to the iPhone .

The G1 dealbreaker for me would be the lack of multi-touch – in my Macbook Air and iPhone, multi-fingered scrolling, swiping and pinching have become an essential part of OS navigation. The G1 , I read, will never have multi-touch because the screen it uses doesn’t support it.

Combine this with no video support except YouTube, and the old HTC trick of needing a proprietary adaptor to connect headphones, and you have a phone that is the future, but certainly not the present. G2, G3, maybe… but I’m steering clear of this one.

And am I the only one who thinks it looks really flimsy and a bit weird? But then… I just bought an iPhone, so I’m hardly objective here.

Oh and David, Times Crossword, Sudoku? Sure I do those things – on my iPhone.
