[geeks] iPhone alternatives

[Shannon Hendrix]

What do you guys think of iPhone alternatives these days?

I have decided to start using a PDA again, and of course I looked at  
iPhone.

However, I hate AT&T service, and I think the iPhone sucks as a  
phone.  I much prefer T-Mobile service over AT&T and Sprint, at least  
in my area.

I thought about getting an iTouch, but Apple does annoying things like  
leave off features and charge more than the iPhone, plus it would mean  
carrying two devices.  Most important missing feature in iPhone is a  
GPS.  Seems a really silly omission.

So, I'm looking at possible replacements for my Motorola KRZR to get  
better PDA features.

Does anyone have any long-term experience with the G1 now?

I also see a few others from T-Mobile like the Sidekick.

One thing though: I would prefer to have generic WiFi support, rather  
than only T-Mobile's "HotSpot" Wi-Fi.

Generic Wi-Fi is more widely available, and of course it is free.

Feel free to gush wildly about your favorite toys in this area...

NOTE: I'm not totally opposed to carrying two devices, just thinking  
about trying to reduce it to one.
