I love my G1.. the only thing I'm not liking is the battery life.

Took it off charge at 6am, at 7pm it was begging me to plug it in :/

edit: and was at work so hardly used it!

I dropped the display HTC Magic at Vodaphone in Liverpool Street and it flew apart. Erk.

Then I noticed it was a two-piece plastic shell with a weight in the middle. Soon snapped it back together.

The battery in my TyTN is slowly dying but I'm finding myself unable to decide which way to go next. I've been out of contract for over six months and every time I make a decision something else comes along and changes my mind.

I'd say that'll be happening a lot for a while. Palm Pre in September

That Hero looks the awesome...will be keeping my eye on that!!!

It does indeed look the awesome, but I think I'll need to see one for real to know if I'll get on with it (same goes for any phone, actually).

My biggest bugbear, as ever, is virtual keyboards. I two-finger touch type on a PC, and I do the same on my TyTN (symbols excepted). That's obviously not possible when there's no real keys, so I'm worried I'll be uber slow again.

Oh, and I'd like to run some GPS software on the phone so I can leave the handheld GPS at home. Doesn't seem to be much about for Android yet.

I feared the same with this iphone, but if this is anything to go by then i've adapted better than expected. it still makes a few errors (i'll no accept they are my fault!) but its been really easy to adapt to these softkeys.

The trick with the iPhone is to not worry when you make a typo - it does a fantastic job of correcting them.
