Hope to get 1.5 soon so I can review it. :)

Any day now...

It is a bit bigger than what I used to carry, but not overly so.  I  
really like having a real keyboard, one of the many reasons I won't be  
getting an iPhone.

They just showed me some love, for being such a great customer (been  
with them since they were Voicestream, mid 2000 or so), they gave me a  
$49.99/mo plan with unlimited talk.  Then the G1 plan on top of that,  
$25/mo.  I was previously on a $59.00/mo plan for 700 minutes, so my  
monthly should go down just a bit more than $10/mo, hard to argue with  
that.
