I have made an observation though: it looks like whatever "desktop grade" web site I visit with N810 lately, it loads and renders really really really slow, hanging the tablet for seconds at a time. Mobile-optimized sites work pretty well though, but the same mobile-optimized sites also work on E70. It is sad to see that

Even if someone didn't hit a sweet spot, have a certain need for a level of service that was identical on or off contract, nor get an early adopter type discount on the phone... the full price of the G1 is only barely higher than the price range you gave for the E70. Why on earth would I pay as much as $300-$400 for a phone that is, in my opinion, only useful for voice+messaging?
You are comparing device available in 2006 with device released in 2008, at their initial prices. This is not very fair.

There is absolutely no cost analysis of the E70 that would make it worth my while to buy one, nor worth my while to have picked one over the G1. NONE.
Right now - no. But, as somebody already owning E70 since 2006, I cannot see what would make me pick G1 in 2009. Which is kinda sad, as I really need a better performing phone.
