G1 Phone vs Iphone, what would you buy?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m not trying to sound like a dick, but if you don’t know what the differences are between them, you probably wouldn’t get much more out of them than you would a regular, consumer handset. That said, I’d get an iPhone, because the G1 still has some hardware quirks, and the operating system is still brand new and there’s not a whole lot of support yet. Wait for the G2 if you want to go that route.
