Better to wait for 2nd generation, is it not?

Google & Apple phones, boy this could be an exciting war... I really like google, but also have an admiration for Apple products...... it seems.
 
It's always nice to see new OS's on phones :)

Would like to play with one of these in person

The only thing that bugs me (as with other HTC's and Windows Mobile Devices) is the laggy GUI.. It's not as smooth as my iPhone.. Well from watching a few video's on it anyways. Another thing is the shape and material.. The shape is kind of like a banana lol, and the material is (looks like) plastic :(

I do like the home screen design and the pattern unlock feature though! It's a shame they couldnt carry out the same theme (glossy icons etc) throughout the whole GUI.. Some parts look very basic.. But again, would have to see this close up.

Having said that, I would still like to play with one of these and see the different hacks that come out :)
 
Hi Guys,

I have a few questions about the Android OS, I found some good info about the G1, I think it's worth a visit.

Hope that this helped a bit,
Have a good weekend,
Lin.
 
Should be here next week wednesday...

Price: R8000. (blame the $ - R exchange rate, not me)
 
thats a bit steep i really want that phone though but at that price would rather get an iphone
