> Background: Professionally I am involved in building public service land mobile radio and fleet tracking systems. Europe and NA. Used to code for a living. Nokia user for many years. Everything unlocked. Favorite phone of the past: Nokia 6310i. Built for the road worriers. For what it does: Everything is right about it, beyond any doubt. I am entering sensitive areas at times and decent no camera phones are a blessing. So (obviously) I use an E60. Taking advantage of the SIP client/WiFi to integrate with an Asterisk PBX - that's super practical. Very nice device and still pretty sturdy. I also toy around with an N810 Internet Tablet. That, and the ARM cross-compilation environment I built gets my imagination about land- mobile convergence going. Very sweet device. Use cases are checking emails on the road when I leave the notebook behind, and as media player. Can take advantage of tethering (not to the G1 of course) when WiFi is not available. I am not so big into GTK+/C++ or Qt however. > G1 likes: - Touchscreen; CHECK - Apps; CHECK - Virtual Desktop; Having 3 "desktops" makes life easier. CHECK - Best of all: Android SDK. "Game changer", as they say. Years ago I dabbled in J2ME and WAP and found that way too limiting. Symbian up front cost and learning curve: uh-oh - Can be unlocked if so desired - Nicely engineered slide-out mechanism > > G1 dislikes: - Lack of tethering; CLEARLY - Super flimsy plastic back cover. Is this the best HTC can do? I am not too bad with tossing my phones around, but still, a SHOW STOPPER - More of an Android/Google problem: Sync contacts through Google. I keep my POC information close to my chest. Remains on controlled devices. SHOW STOPPER - abysmal keyboard (I have the bronze so have we heard about that before). Not so bad for me, I don't text much anyhow Conclusion... I use the G1 pretty much as dev device only. Android SDK too powerful to ignore. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
