Now I’m looking to change phones. I love the G1, but it just isn’t up to competing with the likes of the iPhone. Neither is the MyTouch3G. Much as I hate to admit it, the iPhone is vastly superior. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and the interface is excellent. A friend of mine pointed out the the touch-screen Black Berry seems to have been designed by engineers who don’t understand why the iPhone is so good. Well, the G1 seems to have been built by folks with less access to tech- it’s like they didn’t have the facilities to make a small phone, so they crammed it into a plastic project box from Radio Shack with a Leno-like chin.

What it comes down to is T-Mobile just doesn’t have many good phones, as others have mentioned. I think their best next move would be to support legislation to stop the exclusive deals between wireless carriers and the cellphone manufacturers. In this way, with any phone working on any network (keeping in mind technical compatibility), T-Mobile will automatically have access to the best phones. With their great customer service and pricing, they’d stand a good chance of making serious gains against their competitors. As long as they get 3G and 4G networks rolled out ASAP.
