New phone required

[ubiquitous_cat]

So I need a new phone and I've narrowed it down to three candidates but am having difficulty choosing between them, so I present all three for your delight, delectation and hopefully someone will point out a flaw or feature that is a must have.

1. The iPhone  shop.carphonewarehouse.com/pay-monthly/apple/iphone-16gb-black/o2/ap308/
2. The G1  www.

I have the iPhone and as yet I have not seen a better phone for surfing the internet. SMS and voice are good but not as good as some of the phones I have had in the past. It tends to be the less you want to do the clearer the phone will be for voice.

The one thing you really need to check though is the reception for both GSM and 3g in the places you will be using the phone most. I have no problems at all with the iPhone but a friend gets no reception with it in his office, its an o2 issue not a iPhone issue though...

G1

The G1 as long as you'll let us all have a go :) You'll certainly be the only Android user out there for a while ...

The N95 was loved by my friends who had it - but the battery life was under a day. I believe the N96 is slightly better.

The iPhone is typical Apple - but is really sexy. If you want to pay the "Apple style Premium" and have good 3G...

I can only speak for the iPhone and the G1, as my googler boyfriend has an iPhone and beta-tested the G1. Yes, he has both. And he carries them both, because they're very different

I think you have swung it for the iPhone. It's good to get advice from someone who has used both :)
