Charles, have you seen other phones with accelerometers like the Touch Pro, Diamond, and the iPhone? I'll assume you haven't because that was pretty decent compared to other phones.
And as for the tiles being "jerky", those transitions were pretty smooth for phones nowadays. I doubt you can find a phone that has those types of transitions and execute them any more smoothly. I'm sure they'll perfect it in a few months or years but hey, that's where mobile technology is now.
And as much as I like the G1, that phone does look pretty outdated compared to the Xperia. The Xperia is far more stylish and creative. And I like the more refined animation the Xperia has compared to the simple UI of the current version of Android. I would compare it to TouchFlo3D. I like Android and all but it's not that big on style and detail. And sure, I will end up with an Android phone eventually, but it sure won't be the G1. Compared to phones like this (Xperia), the G1 pretty much sucks as far as physical appearance is concerned. Android? Awesome. G1? Not so much.
