"Returning to BlackBerry from G1"
Pros: intuitive interface, customize desktop, white color detracted from bulkiness, sturdy, lots of free apps, loud speakerphone & ringer, Cut, copy & paste, If you hard press on screen it'll show you more options & shortcuts, Auto sync calender
Cons: Browser frequently foreclosed, frequently freezes & missed calls while downloading apps dimly lit keyboard, shutter camera delay, limited options when customizing calender, notification alerts, no detailed call log. no video recorder, no FB app
Summary: I've used the G1 for about a month and was still unsure if I was satisfied with it.
I would've returned it within the 14-day buyer remorse policy, but got distracted thinking it'll take awhile getting used to it. I never did. It's a great gadget phone. Very fun. The G1 has many advantages, but I need something with certain features for work. And, I can't play around on the G1 too much and risk losing a possibly important phone call again. Overall, I like it. The G1 gets an 'A' for effort. But I'm going back to BlackBerry, for now. I previously had a BB Pearl & had no complaints in four yrs, except for the crappy browser. I decided on the new BB Curve. I hope it works out. I email & msg A LOT so the iPhone (or any other touch screen typing phones) will slow me down. I hear the Curve browser is better, but it's still slow to upload websites, even in WiFi.
If only RIM's BB, Apple iPhone & HTC's G1 all got together and made one kick-ass phone....all of us here would be happy campers!
Hopefully this will help someone make a decision in selecting a phone. Your decision should be based on what you plan to use the phone for.
