And Ian, I've always liked options so yes, too bad we can't (easily and affordably) have both. It's too bad Apple didn't <em>really </em>change the mobile-phone world when it comes to contracts, carrier restrictions, etc. But Apple has always had a loyal following who were willing to pay $600 when the iPhone first came out. Maybe Google should have started with an MP3 player? -- Gadgetress Thanks Michael, I’ll check it out. And Ian, I’ve always liked options so yes, too bad we can’t (easily and affordably) have both.

I was thinking the same thing when I bought the iPhone. I wanted to try Android on the htc, but then talk of delays and angery developers made me hold off. The Blackberry bold was also on my radar. There is risk with Android being a new platform, but that's part of the fun. Ideally I wish I could have both. That said, I'm still very happy with the iPhone.
