i must say, this is one of the best reviews i've watched on youtube. unlike phonearena, where the guy that does most of the reviews has trouble enunciating about half of the words he says, i can understand every single thing you say, and you actually go in depth and say what about the phone is confusing instead of just saying that is confusing... do you have your own site for reviews? if not... get one, please

@xstrikethreex I sure appreciate the kind words! I actually write The Buzz Media dot COM website and try and do a mix of written and video reviews.

I'm not really a business person/gmail person(I do have GMail though) but I just want a phone with a touch screen, and a keyboard, decent camera, web browser and IM(crappy, good, I don't care). Is is still a good phone?

[rkalla]

Freddy,

Excellent question. Your key requirements that are going to decide the phone for you are the Keyboard, Camera and Browser. The G1 has all these things and are all quite good -- it's a big phone though. Compared to the Sidekick LX though, I prefer the G1, the Sidekick's browser is garbage and the WinMo OS is gimmicky at best. If you don't mind a virtual keyboard, the myTouch 3G/HTC Magic is an excellent choice as well.
