Is it just me, or is "Bigfoot" a terrible name for a mobile device? It invokes imagery of Zack Morris brick phones.

Why is it that so many touch screen under-utilize available screen space? It seems like the iPhone (no fan boy, i assure you) is the only handset that really takes advantage of all the space available.

Will someone please put Android on the HTC HD and then slap a keyboard on there? Or can someone else simply make something similar?

Or just slap a qwerty keyboard on an iPhone.

I'm sick of the touch screen keyboard. My text messages are slowly becoming more and more nonsensical as it learns new gibberish words, but refuses to let me type "fuck" on the first try.

An Android phone without the chin? Inconceivable!

@Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®:You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have given up with my G1, sold the thing on eBay and gone back to my BB Curve.

OS is brilliant, battery life is unacceptably tragic.

I can even cope with the chin on the G1, but battery life is a deal breaker for me.

@Max.N: Wow, I can get at least a day of moderate-heavy use.. sms, calls, browser, email. you must be on your phone non-stop.

@DreamWalker:

BB Curve - 4+ days

G1 - maybe a whole day

Exact same usage.

T-Mo sent me a new phone, new battery and even had me try different chargers. If I turn off 3G and then it would last a whole day, but then I use GPS a lot and 3G speeds were nice.

Most of my use is/was data, lots of e-mail mainly with very little voice usage.

@Max.N: I feel you. personally, I can deal with the G1 battery life and Cupcake reports have mentioned better battery life post update. I keep my G1 locked on 3G and I use a lot of IM/text/email as well as app use...weather bug, wikimobile, ebooks, shopsavvy SMS guard. My G1 can last the day but at the end of the day it's clearly in the last 15% of life. Other than not being able to set the browser cache to SD card or run apps from SD card...the battery life is one of the aspects I wish were a better although I can manage it.
