Whenever I see the standard Android home screen I can't help feeling let down.

Perhaps an iPhone isn't that pretty with the black background and bold icons as opposed to some water scene and a fancy (but hard to read) clock, but it just looks a lot more…useful.

The TouchFlow home screen on current HTC WindowsMobile handsets is also much more functional. I have it on my Kaiser and it is great!

The handset does look a good bit more slick than the G1 though.

Its a G1 but without the keyboard

Also the fact that still to this day Vodaphone can't offer a good contract deal to save their lives. £35 a month for 700 minutes and 250 texts! I can do that in a week on the tmobile flext contract I am on now and I am still to actually get anywhere near using the whole £200 a month credit I get on the phone to use.

I pay tmobile £30 a month for £200 to spend on the phone every month on texts, calls, picture messages and also free web n walk to boot. This is why I left Voda phone originally. They are literally dreaming with their contract deals atm. They really do need to start competing with the other operators out there.

I am surprised that they bothered with the G1 at all as the G2 is due to land and I know tmobile have the exclusive deal on them but if I were Vodaphone I would of waited. Might have a better camera and screen but since using the G1 myself I doubt it would make that much of a difference anyway. What the phone really needs is the basics back like being able to record video's for a start :/

i'd consider getting that phone but that tariff is terrible.

although the os might be better, i'd still stick with my nokia n95 8gb seeing as i take pictures on it look really good, its nice and loud and the video recording is pretty good, something which i doubt the magic will have
