G1 is just the first of many (i hope). The design is a little "out" for me. Being the first in the market, i was expecting something sexier. Nothing too fancy but not this. All thing Google have always been simplicity but i think the design can be both simple and sexy.

Being an open platform for mobile rather than manufacturing the phone, hopefully there will be more adoption from the more mainstream manufacturer so that we can see more Android in the market. I see the list of manufacturer in the open handset allieance and there are so HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung . If Android is well accepted then we might see more sexy phone coming out.

I am using Symbian/UIQ and thought it should have been a better job. Hopefully some one come out with better looking Android phone. I have faith in the platform but i need a better looking phone then G1.

a lot of those function we see in the Android demo will not be available in MY. The street view for example... unless sumone is gonna start goin around KL snapping street view, its not gonna work in MY. Looks cool... it works... but not here.

also, a lot of those things we see in the Android demo required internet connection. Unless our 3G here is reliable and affordable, what we see will not so much useful. cool phone but we mightend up with juz receiving and making calls, that's all. unless there are plenty of application which i am sure will be flooding the market soon.

Added on September 28, 2008, 2:16 pmi do hope the Open Handset Alliance don't end up like LiMo. One thing i think lack in LiMo is the participation of major handset manufacturer. The OS will not take off if no major manufacturer support it. Nokia is committed to Symbian. Sony Ericsson is part of the Symbian foundation also. Samsung is all over the place... in LiMO, OHA, Symbian. Motorola... eh... i am not counting on Moto to push android. There is news that SE is testing android but so far SE is refusing to commit and even decline an invitation to join OHA. SE have said before, X1 went the WM path because SE want a piece of the US market. if Android gain popularity, maybe SE will join OHA but getting used to Google business model may get some getting use to for this people.
