Hello: Today Android (nad the G1) are just a toy, same as Einstein was the day he was born. If you need the phone TODAY to do your business the best you can do is wait six-twelve months, then it will be a killer phone.
Today for example, it lacks Outlook (Exchange Server) compatibility, so if your email is important, you´re out of luck unless you use gmail. Microsoft Office is out as well. However I know that people are working on the Exchange server and the OpenOffice suite (a suite comparable and compatible with Microsoft's Office), so in a few months it will be worth your money. My best advice, don't lock yourself into a long term contract; hang on for six months and drops a message then, you'll be amazed at all the things that have changed. I have it on good sources that just in China there are 1,200 developers working on applications for the Android platform plus thousands more in Europe, the USA and Latin America. The results will be a revolution for the cellular phone industry. I'm NOT affiliated with google or any phone company, I'm an independent software developer (with 20+ years of experience) and I believe, deeply, that this phone will be the talk of the town in a few months.
