Hi, Ok seriously then, background - previous phone was Nokia N95, before that HTC blue angel, now using G1 exclusively.
G1 likes: - touchscreen - keyboard - sensors G1 dislikes: - plastic back cover with flush clear plastic camera lens protector. This aspect means that the handset must always be handled delicately for risk of scratching the plastic lens cover. Taking pictures through a piece of no retractable plastic is sub optimal ( causing color and optical distortion ). I am forever having to clean the lens cover before using camera. I think this also contributes to poor overall heat dissipation. - handset get hot very quickly when multiple sensor and radios are being used, plastic back cover does not help at all. I think metal back cover would be better compromise, I would rather have heavier phone with better heat dissipation than lighter phone with poor heat dissipation ( I think this may also have contributed to having to put up with throttled cpu clock speed ). I agree with 'blindfolds' comments, I would like better camera api features, the ability to add additional EXIF data to any JPEG image I create, JIT support and greater heap size to support (at least) 8MP camera images. ( I am hoping Sony/Ericsson will realease 8MP Android camera phone -this- year, they already have C905 8.1MP camera phone for another platform ).
