[...] strategy is the flipside of Apple’s tight control over the iPhone experience: It wants to see lots of different Googlephones from multiple companies. So the only grade you can give Android based on the G1 alone is this one: [...]

A perfect summary of what a modern-day PDA should be. I am an avid Psion user and have been looking for YEARS for a replacement that really does everything as well, and it just does not exist. Your description would have me standing first in line at the store!

I have recently had a chance to spend some quality time with iPhone 3G and some of the aspirants to the throne (such as the Nokia E71, Samsung Omnia and the Blackberry Bold). I’m sorry, I cannot type on the iPhone, period. Nokia inexplicably lowered the display resolution on the E71 (relative to their own E61 line) – the colors felt very retro/dim. The Omnia with Windows Mobile is actually pretty cool on display and overall usability (they’ve done their best to smother the Windows-isms) – with astonishingly crappy battery life. The Bold is big, the trackball ain’t bad…my favorite thus far. But I pine for the iPhone-alternative as well.

Why can’t Sony wake up from their stupor, commandeer the PSP team and tell them to go build this beauty – with the kickass camera to boot?

You forgot to add your 5MP camera. Won’t your dream phone be somewhat heavy on top of being bulky? I’ve no doubt that a company will build the hardware to match your requirements sometime next year. I hope they improve battery technology to match.

No doubt you’d end up paying a pretty penny for your dream handset. More expensive than an unlocked Nokia N96, I’m sure.

“Won’t Someone Build an Android-Based Anti-iPhone?”

Done. It’s called the G1, have you heard of it? Not fully loaded for you? I feel your pain, as in:

The Big List: 30 critical issues with Google G1 phone

While you’re at it, call for someone, anyone to build an anti-iPod, will you? I mean every other company on the planet had, what, only half a decade to do it?

It’s just so easy, only if people could just put together a list of “features.” Yep, just get it done already.
