G1 is an excellent handset, but even more important is the Android OS, which IMHO promises to drive ubiquity in ways that Apple and iphone never will. This means developers will develop GOOD applications for it, and the Android store will be filled with them. I wish I could get Pocket Express, for example on my G1.
how can i get a free g1
I would recommend this phone to any one that can affored it. I like this phone because of the touchscreen, WIFI connection, and it slides to TXT.
