The gist of why I believe it's not worth it just yet is within Engadget Mobile's wrap-up.

quote:

The G1 isn't going to blow anyone's mind right out of the gate. Looking only at the hardware, there's nothing here that's particularly impressive, yet nothing that's particularly bad (though the GPS needs some work). It's a fine, solidly designed device that has enough style to please most users -- but it won't win a ton of beauty pageants. Think of it this way: if it were running Windows Mobile, it'd be a footnote in HTC's history. At the end of the day, however, this isn't about the hardware, and really never was. The story here is Android and what it promises... though doesn't necessarily deliver on at first. Like any paradigm shift, it's going to take time. There is tremendous potential for this OS on mobile devices -- it truly realizes the open ideals laid out by Google when they announced this project. The only problem seems to be the stuff they either left on the back burner, cutting room floor, or hoped would come from that exciting, untapped world of open source developers. While there's plenty to praise in this phone, there's a lot more that's missing -- and some of those missing elements are what we consider to be core components of a device in the G1's class. Shortcomings aside, though, you're still buying into one of the most exciting developments in the mobile world in recent memory. When you put the G1 up against, say, a Sidekick LX, it seems like a no-brainer for T-Mobile customers looking for a powerful QWERTY device -- especially at $20 less. You don't need to be a cutting-edge mobile geek or a pundit to do that math. When facing off with platforms like the iPhone and Windows Mobile devices, it holds its own, but has a lot of ground to cover before it's really making the competition sweat. Still, if you're just excited to be a part of a platform that's likely going to be around for a very, very long time, the G1's a totally reasonable day-to-day device to make it happen, and we expect some pretty great things from this corner of the market down the road.

I just got mine last week, love it so far, just wish the battery life was a little better.

BTW dont belive engadget reviews, specially wen it come to any product that competes apple they are completely baised, i use to have an iphone 3g, wish i lost 2 weeks back hence i go the G1, G1 is by far better and a lot faster, plus the PUSH gmail is a charm.

that is one of the things that i want in a phone, a good life battery span. How long does it usually last? How is the reception?

Reception is really awesome, battery lasts about a day, u'd have to charge it every night, like with the iphone if i forgot to charge it one the the phone would not die.

Aren't you supposed to debate a topic of your choice with some Opus guy in some other place?

Fact of the matter, I got a test run model for a weekend. Only felt a little regret going back to my T-Mobile iPhone 2G.

Engadget reviews are more reliable than you'd like to admit.

Thanks for the input! I think I'm going to go ahead and give it this phone a try. From all the features, it seems that it covers all the aspects of a smart phone.
