My transition to the T-Mobile Android G1 is complete.
This is a wonderful phone for business and personal use.
The Blackberry excels at integration with Microsoft Exchange, but that's a non-issue for me.
The G1 is better at just about everything else, and I have had no problem with reading the keyboard (I have the "bronze" model with the black-on-silver keys). T-Mobile's clear plastic case protects it quite well, and a screen protector lasts about 2 months.
The combination of translit and anysoft's soft keyboard make Cyrillic input as easy as it could be (and of course, having a soft keyboard makes the G1 a match for both the G2 and iPhone).
The integration with Google is very clever. Keeping contact's on Google's server means that if you lose your phone, you can get everything back as soon as you get a new phone. There's no need to worry about SIM card backups.
