I'm kind of torn. I have a windows mobile phone that someone gave me for free for 3g access that I'd really like to dump (or perhaps perform Voodoo on to kill MS). Pairing is practically a must for me, but the G1 is pretty tempting, and that would handle just about everything I've done with my n810

Depending on what people manage to do with the G1 and what t-mobile's Los Angeles coverage is like, I'll probably end up getting one. If it were multi-touch (and I guess 3.5mm audio), I don't think my n810 would have much use.

Hard to say, because I really like that practically any Linux app can run on the n810, and it would probably take some work before that's true on an Android phone. If I have ssh for times when I'm oncall, a decent browser, media player and map software, that covers my n810. The G1, although smaller, also seems to have a keyboard the doesn't suck quite as bad as the n810.

I hope that Maemo can steal some of the cooler open source stuff from Android, and I hope people extend the G1 so you can pair it over bluetooth.

So, yeah, I'm lost, but I really like Nokia anyway. If I decide not to get a G1, I'm very likely to get a Symbian phone (and likely by Nokia).

(/me continues rambling...) My n810 also kind of lost out recently as I've been listening to NPR for election talk... I really wish it had FM so I could easily switch between mp3s and FM. I also think maemo mapper would be a great app to make extendable with Python. Like adding overlays for controlling media players, etc. Ok, I'm way off topic now.
