Digijustin: T-Mobile’s G1, the First Google Android Phone

I've been waiting for some time to hear about the phone and was moderately excited to hear about the G1 today. It wasn't until I read techcrunch's review, watched the commercial, and then watched the Press Conference video and I can't say I'm 100% sold on it but I am pretty friggin excited about it.
I've always supported open source and love the fact that it's completely open and they won't moderate the app store at all.
Design wise it's not as cool looking as the iphone and the UI isn't as fluid I think but it's the hackability and openness of it that I'm loving.
I'm honestly kind of thinking about getting in on the preorder... I usually don't jump on Gen One of anything but I've had my BB Pearl for 2yrs now and am itching for a new one. I do love the iphone but I can't stand ATT and just won't pay that much money for such a horrible service that everybody complains about every day.
If the plan is right and I can get a decent voice plan along with the $35 unlimited data plan... I think you can count me in. :)

I'm in the same boat. I want the new phone, but I just bought a new T-Mobile BlackBerry a few months ago. My wife, on the other hand, is up for contract renewal. So, I'm trying to convince her that the Android is right for her. Wish me luck.

I want one. I have absolutely no need since I'm packing an iPhone and it's absolutely fine. Android's openness is the draw for me. One would assume that )if they've got it stable and ready to roll) Android phones will eclipse iPhone sales quickly creating a demand for apps that will produce a firehouse of great applications. All-in-all, what a great time for mobile. It's great to see mobile phones getting away from the abysmal UX of the flip-phone era.
