Shame he didn't try an Android with a hardware qwerty keyboard. I've got a G1 Dream Dev, everyone that's tried it has liked it. It has a very nice tactile feel.

Shame he didn't try an Android with a hardware qwerty keyboard. I've got a G1 Dream Dev, everyone that's tried it has liked it. It has a very nice tactile feel. I tried a few handsets and nearly bought an E71, luckily it couldn't get a decent bundle for it. I was looking forward to the Google phone but sw kb is a turn off. The G1 does have its downpoints - the scroll wheel jumps from link to link which means more thumb movement if you need to scroll with the screen. And the battery life. Oh that's the killer, great if you're not using it but spend an evening doing a bit of browsing and showing people youtube vids when you wake up in the morning you can't call a cab. Carrying a mini usb cable is required.
