I agree with your points, however the last one, advertisement, we need to agree that Android is not a mobile phone, but yes an operation system. I never saw in the streets advertisement about Windows Mobile or Symbian.. but about Nokia and Motorola I’m tired. So who needs to invest are the companies and not Google.

I couldn’t have said this better myself.
I particularly have qualms with the browser and general 3G performance. I’ve done side-by-side tests with my Nokia N93i, and sometimes it loads a page in 5 seconds which takes my ‘droid phone 30 seconds (both in Opera Mini).

Speaking of Opera Mini, quite a terrible port. I read that they have a more official browser on the way, but trying to hit the correct bookmark in speed dial is no trivial task. It’s not designed for touchscreen at all. I still use it for the proxy page compressing though ;)

Rakshit the solution to the size limit is simple, tie the purchases to the account, rather than the phone itself, other platforms have been doing this since the start of this console generation.

Its simply horrible design in terms of the size limit, makes it seem as though Google had to push Android to market and left the size limit problem as a Android 2.0 feature.

I know I seem bitter in these posts, but its only because I love everything else about the G1, I solved the battery life issue with a $50 supersized battery, which doesn’t bother me. And I got around the available ram issue by testing out which products on the store played nice.

For example I’m almost constantly using dogcatcher to listen to podcasts while using Telenav Gps or browsing the web, but I know that If I want to play a game I need to pause the podcast. And I can set someone to speakerphone and turn on my Nes emulator to continue my game if someone calls.

Basically its all about knowing what the G1 is capable of and sticking to its strengths, which for me is more than capable of replacing my PC for all but the most intensive tasks.

internal storage, keyboard, battery life, appearace

Totally agree with the fact that 70MB is too small for applications. But the thing is, memory cards are removable devices and if they allow apps to be installed on memory cards, what happens to installed apps once the card is removed? IMHO, best solution is to increase the ROM size to say 2GB or more.

We’ve been calling it the Jesus phone because the commercials oversell it so hard. she talks about it like its air.

Sooo will T-Mobile accepting these QualCom based phones to their line of products? cause they seem to be acting pretty cheap and not taking the Best phones that they can Get… e.g. The HTC HERO…

Archos will fix some of these problems with the Archos Android smartphone coming out around the 15th of September, with a 4.8″ 800×480 screen will provide PC-like browsing experience and much better video playback and a large resolution for more advanced and more usable Android applications. Also, Archos uses the latest most powerful ARM Cortex A8 ARMv7 processors by Texas Instruments, at least as powerful if not more powerful than any other ARM Cortex devices out there (Motorola Android, iphone 3GS or Palm Pre.) Also, Archos brings up to 500GB hard drive storage built-in. And all that for a cheaper unlocked price than currently unlocked HTC Android devices.

I really don’t see these problems, if the battery just lasted longer I would be really happy.
