hehehe, I know that feeling. I eventually had to draw a line in the sand and make a decision. Consider that I'd been mulling over what smart phone to get for 4 years, I figured it was time :-) Here in South Africa, we get all the mundane phones almost as soon as everyone else. Top of the line gear though - we wait 12 months at least usually. So the G1 was the best choice for me from what was available right now. So far I'm happy, even though I completely understand the G1 was more of an experiment than anything else, even though the enter key is not as accessible as the rest of the keys. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
