G1

Google has a fairly new cell phone out available through T-Mobile called the G1 and I am considering switching to one when my current plan is up in a few months.

Overall, I am a huge fan of Google and all the applications they have to offer (Picassa, Gmail, Analytics, Blogger, etc.). I am very intrigued by the Android operating system and I can only imagine the type of applications that will be available in the future as a result of it being open source. The full QWERTY keyboard seems to be a huge plus for me. Coming from the Sidekick 3, it looks to have the same set up, but with the addition of the touchscreen for everything but typing. For some reason I can't get over typing on the screen itself which is probably why the Blackberry Storm has very little appeal to me.

I am still debating between the Apple iPhone and the G1 and having only used each very briefly, but having read various reviews of each, I am leaning toward the G1. I am beyond ready for a full-Internet capable phone.

Any suggestions are welcome.
