Hey the first gen iPhone didn't have 3G, GPS, or Exchange. And the 2nd gen doesn't have a compass or physical keyboard. But the user experience drives the sales and love of the iPhone, and will continue to do so. The same can be said about Android.

The G1 is really just a hardware platform, an open source hardware platform. I'd rather have all the hardware now and upgrade the phone with software then be stuck with a device that is limited because it doesn't have a hardware widget.

Run verizon, run. For in 6 months all you've said will be fixed, by the community, and you will have no way to criticize the phone you too will be forced to carry on your service. BWA-HA-HA-HA
