[...] Big Brother approach was the final straw for Michael Arrington of TechCrunch and others to leave the iPhone for the freedom of Android as he even has his HTC Hero Halloween costume already [...]

@Abcy,

I have the Ion from Google IO which is essentially a black myTouch 3G but is unlocked and has metal buttons.

The call quality is great and it performs much faster (has twice the internal memory), smaller, & lighter than the G1.

The screen is a little more clearer plus its much easier to swap the SIM card & MicroSD.

Only negative is the loss of the keyboard which took me some time to get used to and it also seems to not get as many bars in reception than the G1.

Hey all,
former G1 user here in Virginia. I currently have the iPhone 3G on AT&T, but really love the Android concept and although I used to have an active G1 (still have it, just use it on WiFi), I am really thinking about getting the black MyTouch 3G on Wednesday. I think it is an improvement on the G1; I feel also that after nine months, that there should be better hardware in it–it many ways it's so similar to the G1. Thoughts? Also, how's the call quality? Reviews so far say not bad.

@Eric,

That will be resolved with the 2nd Android Developers Challenge underway and the increased user market from the new Android phones coming out.
