I don't understand the G1. it's just such an odd mechanism in terms of how it opens, and, IMO a total failure in what could have otherwise been a good phone. Why, in this day of multiple phones coming out with full touch screens, did they put actual buttons, that require a giant screen to slide open, the user to turn the phone perpendicular to it's typical portrait mode, to type and yet somehow grip the phone on both sides at the same time?
I just don't get it. If you really want to get down to aesthetics, it looks like the grabbed the buttons from a phone from the early 90s. Why is iconography something that all phone companies but Apple seem to overlook?
Ugly, cumbersome, odd. I don't really see much else I could say about it, and that's without even comparing it to an iphone.
