I've used the X1 extensively. The only thing the X1 has going for it is its looks. Now the device is sturdy but that's expected since its actually HTC hardware, which is also the case with the G1. Don't be fooled by the techno glitter of the X1. Its still just Windows Mobile 6.1 with a set of customizable "Panels" and extra LED's which do nothing but eat up memory and battery life. In all honesty neither are as user friendly or fluid as the Iphone but if you're a device junky the G1 will be the way to go.
I'm sure Handango will have an extensive catalog prepared by the time the G1 is offically in the hands of T-Mobile subscribers. It'll be nice to have a device with an app store other than Apples and without hacking the device to the extent of the Iphone/Ipod Touch.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
