"I have the phone, and like the idea of the phone, and am even forgiving that it isn't the iPhone. Apple is Apple and they get usability RIGHT (although iPhone 1 had some issues). My attraction to Android was that it was more open, and I hoped that Google (a software company) and the more

I'm more hopeful. Certain things have improved - there is now an application to stream audio from ordinary internet radio streams (StreamFurious). And there are rumors of a soon to be released Android update ("Cupcake") which will fix some glaring omissions (on screen keyboard, autorotate display) plus add some sort of application monitor. I am hopeful that over time Google will drive this to be as polished as intuitive as many of their "real" web applications.

You still can't search your calendar, or add a contact from an email, and the calendar UI is only OK. But with the promise of a new OS update after only 3 or 4 months, it is suggestive that the whole platform will continuously improve. This is where open-source is nice. If some Chinese handset mfgr wants an on-screen keyboard and develops it, we get it too (probably, ... unless the mfgr or google or tmobile has some reason to prevent it...)

I'm still waiting on the G1 and I was wondering how your impressions of it have changed over time. Does it still have the contact list issues with Google? I'm probably still months away from a phone upgrade, and I really want the G1 to be 'the one' for me because I'm a big fan of open development, but I can't afford to spend this much on a phone that just doesn't cut it.

Thanks in advance.
