i think the iphone looks better.  like it looks like it'd fit in your pocket easier.  i'm already on at&t so the decision is kinda MADE for me.  my razr broke a few months ago and i went in to buy an iphone as a replacement and they told me that i wasn't eligible for an upgrade until like JULY or some shit and i'd have to pay $500 for one if i wanted it.  what the fuck is that?  fuck cell phone companies.  i just used the money to buy a guitar but honestly i don't miss getting to have one.  if you are like me and do not text or SURF WEB use your phone very often for anything other than to call people a super SMARTPHONE probably is not necessary.

but my brother has the google phone thing and he loves it and has an ipod touch so he has something similar to measure it against.  you probably cannot go wrong and like joe said the actual keyboard is nice.  i'm not bit on the iphone's shitty touchscreen keyboard

my mate has one of the google phones that is the same as the one in climbtree's post and he fucking loves it. i asked him whether he would get an iphone or that and he said google phone ANY day. software is better apparently and the keyboard is wayy useful. and (i'm not sure about this) anyone can make software for google phones but you cant on iphones (again, i'm not sure i havent checked this fact)

plus it has a touch screen if ya want one anyway. and he doesn't care about the size coz its so awesome

I have the phone and I can clarify that this is true. The One that has been out since October to be exact. It is the Tmobile G1, the one out today is the HTC magic I think, and there is NO difference. I am a Developer for the phone and I am working on developing a wifi tether app with a group of people. If you need info on how to root/hacl/jailbreak it, tell me.

make sure you know linux command prompts because this stuff gives major headaches.

just get an itouch and a cheapass phone like me
