It has the same features of the iPhone and also includes a full QWERTY keyboard. The service is less expensive and App Market has tons of free software. It has a full browser, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, GPS, etc. It can take pictures with GPS cordinates and automatically upload them to Twitpic and Picasa, and embed them on a custom Google Map. I could go on forever with what it can do but the bottom line is that I can do more with my G1 than I could with an iPhone, and for less money. But nobody ever talks about anything but Apple products. Personally I use the T-Mobile G1. It has the same features of the iPhone and also includes a full QWERTY keyboard.

I've used both a Blackberry and an iPhone and I would never try to use the Blackberry as part of my journalism/multimedia duties - the iPhone is more user friendly, is easier to handle at deadline or in an unfamiliar situation and has better desktop integration and support, meaning my cameraphone video can be easily edited and published. What have you used that compares to the versatility and ease of the iPhone? Well, what other Smartphones are just as good or better for journalists?
