I used to use a rooted G1. Aside from the dull look of early Android phones it was a good phone. It's Sidekick roots were obvious, too (key layout and the way alt worked, etc). I approved. I beta'd Palringo on it for awhile, but what frustrated me the most about Android (and devs) was how screen orientation essentially makes them close and reopen the friggin' app, and the whole "6 open apps only" and how the phone would often close my damned IM app or what not as it wanted to. I'm glad there are more apps on the Android Market, and the Market is superior to iTunes in a LOT of ways. Specifically the My Apps sections and the 24-HOUR REFUND. Being able to set up individual text alerts for people via various sms apps was nice, plus I love multicolor LEDs. Next iPhone needs this.

I hope the multitasking has been fixed at some point, but I like my (jailbroken) iPhone 3G S more in almost every possible way. Auteureist, Bleep!box, BeeJive, MyWi, and Blue FiRe get tons of use from me. Not to mention most apps from Amidio and the other music apps I use. Android is pretty dry on creative writing and music apps, sadly. There are some promising ones, and I'm sure it will catch up.
