Phone is pretty nice. Not as fast as the Desire, but it makes up for it with the Self Camera feature, as well as video calling. It also has DMB which looks gorgeous on the AMOLED screen.

I played with it in a shop. They STILL can't seem to make a phone that responds instantly and smoothly like the iPhone. Opening apps, scrolling through photos, etc., still produces jitters. I don't get it. Though I haven't seen a Nexus One or Droid yet.

I bought an HTC Desire about three weeks ago, and it is ace. Smooth as butter. It's basically the same as the Nexus One, except it has more RAM, and a different UI.

Play with a phone with a 1GHZ Snapdragon processor. You'll find better results.

I should be getting a Galaxy S from work as soon as it comes out... Should be nice!

iPhone 4G has front facing camera, i'm guessing once it hits the market it'll jump ahead of all these copies hitting the market. AMOLED is nice, but i hear Apple is contracting LG for the screen for the iPhone 4G, they made the iPad screen so i'm willing to guess it'll be top of the line.

Biggest problem with Iphone is the updates. How long does it take for Iphone updates? 1 year? Android updates very regularly.

In my opinion, the Iphone 4G is a copy of current Android phones. Forward camera, LED camera flash, multitasking. These are all features that Android phones can do now.

I'm an Apple boy, but am so happy that Android is upping the bar. Apple has been dragging their feet since they didn't have any competition and could release on their own schedule. Android phones didn't even exist when the last iPhone came out, so not sure if you can say they are necessarily copying, just going through with their release schedule.

Android said that they are going to slow down their updates to once a year. soon.
