As you may have heard the T-Mobile G1, also known as the first "Google Phone", will be coming to T-mobile on October 22. Since I've been in the market for a new cell phone for quite a while now I'm thinking this may be my next phone. This phone meets all of my must haves (in no particular order):

• EDGE or 3G data
• Wifi
• Music player
• Ability to write applications
• gps
• bluetooth
• 3MP camera
• GSM, and unlockable

If you're like me you are probably sick of reading and hearing about the iPhone. There is no doubt that the iPhone has a very slick interface, but for me there are too many "features" of the iPhone that make that phone simply not an option. Some of my favorite features of the iPhone:

1. You need iTunes. All of my computers run Linux so I can't run iTunes.
2. There is no instant messenger client. I think it is fantastic that a phone that has built in wifi forces you to send SMS messages instead of free instant messages
