#15 is great and my personal favorite but I can't stop laughing at #2.

I was hoping for one that says "OSX SP6" or something.

i kept a cupcake from halloween for two years once. just let it sit on my desk. didn't mold or nothing and the little candy pumpkin on top of it just stuck around. then my boss broke it and didn't tell me. i was not happy. sooo, i ate part of it and threw the rest away. lesson is: two year old cupcakes taste like cookies. the end.

Awesome.

I'm glad to see that all explained out. I've been looking at the G1 and that might just make my look easier.

@tande04: I just upgraded to a g1 from a blackberry curve 3 weeks ago.

I am very please and it was a pretty smooth transition. I definitely recommend it.

@switchblade saints: The more I'm seeing and hearing the more I'm liking.

I'm not a real early adopter. I've got to play with something a dozen times and do the research before I pony up the cash. I almost bit the bullet on this last week.

There was a kid paying his bill (or something) in the store that had one and I asked how he liked it. I believe his quote was something along the lines of "its the greatest phone ever".

I'll definitely take your recommendation into account too.

Thanks

@tande04: well I don't think there is a "greatest" phone out there, I had an iphone for a week and it didn't work for me. I wasn't a phone of a non physical keyboard, and to be honest there are a few things the g1 could have that would be better.

But after using all of the 3 top phones, (BB, iphone,g1) the G1 works out a little better for me, for what I use it for at least.

@switchblade saints: Right, I don't think I could get across the way he said it. He was being serious but like any young kid but the over generalization and the way he said it came across as quite humorous to me. Guess its one of the many things you can't really get across in a comment.

Anyways...

It does seem to hit most of what I'm looking for. The iPhone isn't an option and since I've got a touch anyways I haven't really seen much there that I think is to die for anyways. A physical keyboard is something that I defiantly want and I'm not a BB fan.

The only thing is I am thinking about waiting it out a bit to see what else is coming. The thing with phones is that something better is always around the bend though and you end up waiting forever.

Honestly, thats the only thing that worries me. I really hope the android platform is well regulated when it comes to certain specifications. If the following Android phones don't have the same size screen, I could really see some problems for devs and consistency. But other than that The Android platform is one of the most promising forms of tech I've ever seen. I lvoe my G1, I am constantly surprised by what its capabilities are and can be. Its openness is a blessing! I recommend the G1 as well and if you go with it, I can recommend some of the best programs available. The best part about it is that they are all (with the exception of 1 app) FREE and at least 4/5 stars.

@Bo Shonka: I got my G1 about a month ago. No regrets, the best phone I have ever used. The iPhone just won't cut it for me, I like buttons and an inclusive app store. BlackBerries are too business-oriented for my tastes.

Also, what are your suggested apps? I know I LOVE Shazam, ToggleWiFi, Barcode Scanner, AK Notepad, Labyrinth, and the included features like maps and the messenger.

@Con Seannery '09: Illegal in 1 Giz: Barcode Scanner + My Collection Free is really cool, plus Toggle WiFi is great, Google Scoreboard is actually fine if you don't need the updates in real-time (i.e. if you're at work and want to know the scores when you get off). The one thing I'm waiting on (and I'm about three weeks from writing it myself) is something that works like iTunes Remote, but for Winamp.

@Bo Shonka: I am a developer, but I'm not all that great at it (yet), and I'd be doing it outside of my job and looking for a second job, and I have a tendency to be lazy when it comes to my free time projects. So, unfortunately, I'm not one to be pitching ideas to at the moment. And when I say I'm three weeks from writing it, I mean I'm three weeks from starting it, which is to say I'm about 2 months from finishing it. But I'll give you a ring if I get it working.

God dammit! Apple, why can't you make your updates so expansive ALL at ONCE? 3.0 is nice, but the features should have been a 2.0 update at the latest. Booh.

@Auzburner:

Says who...?

Lets cry more about Apple updating the iphone with new features every couple months...

"boo i hate how my iphone gets new stuff all the time. I want android so its only updated once a year! Or a nokia phone that is never updated."

@Shirkk: Your definition of once a month seems somewhat flawed.

Major iPhone updates are once a year. What other then iTunes DJ support has been added in a non-major update?

Its mostly bug fixes just like the bug fix updates that have gone out for android (and yes, symbian gets updates too).

This isn't even technically a major update. Its still a .5

Sigh*

Please stop taking my words out of context.

my words: every couple months...

Yours: once a month seems

Im not over-glorifying anything here.. the iphone is truly the only phone that gets new features and major security updates every few months.

I have proof this time:

I've been pretty happy with the 5-6 (6-cell battery) hours I get from my MSI Wind netbook. It gets me through most situations without needing to plug-in.

I get more than 20 hours of battery life from my laptop. Sure, I have to lug around a car battery, but it's a small price to pay.

tempted for sure to buy... unfortunately anything pushing 1080p is worthless to me because my cable provider caps out at 720p and i don't have a blu-ray player yet so it's kinda useless for me...

Are rich people too afraid to have a hole cut in their drywall and have a thicker (cheaper) TV mounted flush with their wall for less and a better picture?

Fixing drywall isn't really all that hard or costly.
