Hardware Keyboard.

again:

Hardware Keyboard.

one more time:

Hardware Keyboard.

Without a hardware keyboard it's just a less competent iPhone. Give me the physical, tactile input mechanism and I will be there. The only thing keeping me from getting a G1 is they don't do 3G on AT&T's network.

If you're thinking about bring a G1 to AT&T, DONT'T! Wait until an 850/1900 version comes out... or this Acer phone.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/

I'm not going to hold my breath for Android in 2009 anymore, and will more than likely switch to Sprint for the Pre when released. Google, go faster! Here's hoping for Christmas 2010!]]>Apr 22nd 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/

Seriously, there's no way I'd buy an Android phone if it doesn't bring something else to the table that other Phone OS like Windows Mobile can't do.

iPhone OS = available on pretty much one phone, the iPhone
Android OS = available on pretty much one phone, the G1

For all the uproar about Android, they really need to pick up the pace and actually release some damn phones that use the OS.

"If/maybe/when/might/prototypes". None of that crap matters to consumers when there's practically NO OPTIONS available.

I'm not saying Windows Mobile is awesome, but from what I've read, I do think it might be the most compatible/functional. I also think that the next couple generations of top end hardware (beyond the ones that were shown this year at CES) will finally start reaching the point where there's VERY little graphical slowdown on smartphones running WM (I was going to buy an Xperia X1, but then I saw the lag in it's transitioning on video and decided to hold off on buying a high end phone until one or two more generations passed).

Just saying, right now, all the noise about Android is getting really ridiculous when they're not putting out any hardware products to go with it.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/
Ended up getting a new BB Cruve in January, still think its great. When friends ask me what Smartphone to buy now i tell them to wait a year if they can. If they can't get a new Curve.

Android is not there yet.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/acer-says-itll-likely-have-one-android-phone-this-year/
That's something you can't do with an iPhone unless you "jailbreak" it.

BTW, I have a used iPhone for sale. It's one of the original ones. Turned out it was cheaper to get a G1 and break the AT&T contract than it was to upgrade to the iPhone 3G. There were initially some things I missed about the iPhone, but the main thing I missed was completely cured by YouMail.com. And GoogleVoice may eventually be even better than YouMail.

Although some of the programs I have for my G1 were not available through their official market, I didn't have to "jailbreak" my phone to install them from other sources. That's enough right there to keep me from going back to the iPhone, although I would be happier with Android if I could get better 3G coverage than Tmo gives.
