Default new phone for yu

so i went to the city and got myself a G1. i couldn't wait to use it so i had it charging in the car on the way back. the light is green now so i guess it means the battery is full but i'm going to sit on my hands and wait until 2morrow. i got 3G with texting too. idk how i've lived so long without texting. i guess the way of buddha keeps my patient (sometimes). mechanical functions are freaking awesome. i have somewhat thick and flat thumbs and the full qwerty keyboard works awesome. even has a IBM like trackball. of course i couldn't resist a phone with touchscreen. i heard the software is pretty good but the cam sux. o well, jsut have to get a P&S finally hehe. yes i don't have a P&S, pls don't flame i'm not much of a photographer lol. now with the internets, on my little handy dandy phone, i'll be on here even more hehehehehe. only con it has so far is the screen that slides up is a tiny bit rickety. people say it'll rattle a bit when it vibrates. o and no freaking headphone jack. has one of those mini usb ports, ugh. time for me to invest in a 16gb mini SD card too. o and the phone feels rly nice. it doesn't feel plastic or metal like other phones, it's got this softness to it. good for grip. i freaking love it already without even using it yet lol. here's the review from engadget http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/t-mobile-g1-review/
next year, it's probably the nokia N97 for me if it's as good as they boast

lg dare = crap
bb storm = worse than dare
t-mobile g1 = could have been better
iPhone 2G = current phone. better than g1 but still dont like..
nokia n97 = next phone to get, and is going to be the best of all

no she can joke around trust me. she'll turn it around lol. she's awesome, one of the most chill girls i've talked to.

haha JC great minds think alike. N97 ftw. i will not comment on the dare as i've had no experience with it. personally, i luv my full qwerty keyboard hehe. i've tried using a touchscreen phone without a keyboard, it was terrible haha.

whats the deal with the nokia n97? Is it better than an Iphone? I'm so far behind in this stuff, still got 3yr old flip up with no bluetooth or internet. I was thinking of getting an iphone to just have everything in one.
