1) The G1 looks like crap. The Razr sold well not because it was a great phone, but because it looked cool. That’s also a huge reason the iPhone does so well. Let’s face it, phones have become fashion accessories, and although I’m definately a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, even *I* want to carry a phone that looks cool!

2) Where is the heaphone jack? Oh you mean I have to go find that little adaptor thingy to listen to music? Well I think I left it at home, it’s probably sitting on my desk. Or, more likely, it’s sitting in a pile somewhere with all the other adaptors I never use cause adaptors SUCK! Spend another $.12 to add a headphone jack!

3) My old Nokia that came FREE with my T-Mobile plan in 2005 could record video, WITH SOUND. Sure the resolution and sound quality was crap and it didn’t record very long, but it was there. Maybe I’m not hip to all the technical hurdles with adding video capture capabilities to a phone, but it seems like this should be easy.

4) Did I mention the G1 is really frikkin ugly?

5) Keep the trackball! Keep the slide-out keyboard!

6) Seriously….I’m not kidding…..the G1 looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every stick on the way down!

Until Google comes out with their own mail server and programs, for now it needs exchange support and blackberry support for it to be useful to many people. To be able to work with MS documents, Word, Excel and so on would be great as well.

But only until google created their own stuff and we can get a rid of this old stuff.
