The marketplace software is pretty thin right now but I am sure things will pickup once the product is out for a bit more. I was hoping to get skype working on it but alas there's some back dealing that went down between T-Mobile and Google to make sure people don't get the cheapest phone plan and use skype for their phone calls.

Two thumbs up...if you have been thinking about getting a new phone I definitely would recommend the G1. I would definitely recommend it over the iPhone simply because of the fact that it has a keyboard.

Have you ever typed on the iPhone "keyboard"?

I thought it would be a joke at first but it's remarkably well done. I find I can type on it just as fast a a standard slide out, hard keyboard, and the predictive text entry is unbelievably good.
