ok ok ok... i've owned the g1 for about... 2 hours now... i'm hardly getting work done. i can't put this phone down. Now, this is my first "smart phone" i've upgraded from the samsung trace, which is an ultra thin phone and i loved it for what it was... a rather simple phone with the bare necessities...

now... the G1 so far has been pretty stellar! The free marketplace is what is going to make this phone superb though, but don't look for too much just yet. the coolest app i found was one that uses the camera to scan a barcode, then search online for the product and let you know where it can be bought and at what prices.

So far I've found the browsing to be just fine. nice and responsive. I want to buy a 16gb sd card for it, but that is $75... it comes with a 1gb, and since i've never used all of the 512 in my trace, i'm not to concerned. The one thing i'm not to fond of, is the lack of virtual keyboard. but considering the OS is open source, and the marketplace will offer free apps... it is only a matter of time before that is rectified, right now you need two hands to use the phone.... and for me that makes it a little difficult to do anything while using the phone.

either way, i know i said i'd wait... but after playing with one i couldn't put it down. I'm really excited to see what the future holds for this phone
