You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

Have you looked at openMoko? Open source phone, not tied to anyone. They even provide the CAD files for the case so you can design your own. Not at 100 consumer friendly yet, but from what I have seen neither is the HTC with Android….

I agree with Nick. The article is about which one entices him more, not which one is better. I love me some iPhone (and I’m not enticed at all by the G1), but it’s perfectly acceptable for someone with no experience with either device to say one is more enticing to him or her than the other.

What’s with all the negativity? If you don’t like his post, don’t read it. I hate reading, “what’s the point of this article, blah, blah, blah… slow news day, blah, blah”. Don’t read it then, and don’t YOU have something better to do than post “slow news day”?

People seem to think that because they can post comments they need to rip on other people, it’s ridiculous. Not every post on TAB or another site will be useful, helpful, or relevant to you, and that’s ok.

I’m with you. Totally agree. Had an iphone, trashed it and went back to my blackberry. So happy.

I am totally open to anything, but, I find the following a bit weird:

” except, except…the Mac OS is such a superb tool and the whole Mac experience is so elegant. I love the Mac OS for its transparent, versatile, low-hassle user-friendliness and dependability. ”

Yes, I am a iPhone user, I have been since the first one came out June 9th. I find the iPhone so “elegant” to use. I love how “versatile” (I can do everything from business to fun on it, and I do) and especially how “user-friendly” (I gave my mother one and she had it in a week or so without too many hiccups, she has never owned a smart phone before. Not even a dumb one. He He.)

Sure, the iPhone has it’s problem. Show me a phone, smart or not, that has not had problems. Then, show me a phone that has had the attention of the iPhone, selling over a million phones in just it’s first three days. With that kind of attention, it is easy for even the smallest of things to be blown into huge proportions.

I pose to you this. Have you picked up the iPhone and actually used it, not for the ten seconds in a store. I think you would have different thoughts. I am sure you didn’t fall in love with the Mac the first time you saw it, it had it’s break in period…it is the same with the iPhone.

So for now, my iPhone and I are going to be just fine. I am not saying you can’t have your G1 phone, just know what you are missing.

I’m at least curious to get a hands-on. Not quite the same, but if you want a taste of what the G1 software will be like, this offers a sneak peak: http://tmobile.modeaondemand.com/htc/g1/
