The G1 pounds the shit out of any of the competitors, imho. I also got the 2400mAh (stock one is 1100 I believe) battery for it, which is awesome. With my phone, I:

1. Use the SSH client to connect to servers, networking equipment, etc. I could add a firewall rule while sitting in a coffee shop, login to my IRC screen session to talk to my techs, etc.etc.

2. Use the ServerUp app to receive alerts if any server ever had an issue.

3. REMOTE DESKTOP (you heard me) to my home workstation and check on something there, or access a file I needed.

4. Drive down the road scanning wifi networks and recording their location and GPS coordinates into Google Maps.

The list goes on and on, and includes everything most of the other phones do as well. In fact, I even bought myself a pair of Moto ROKR S9 HD bluetooth stereo headphones, loaded a bunch of music to my microSD card, and made it into a defacto iPod.

This phone ROCKS!
