    Seeing two Motorola phones in the "best phones" article makes me feel like I'm in a time warp. I'm glad they're back, they make great quality handsets.

    Except you don't have Apple vetting your apps. How would changing you password prevent you from installing a malicious app? I don't get it?

    I guess I hadn't realized how quickly T-mobile had fallen.

    Used to be there was no question you'd see the G1 on there but now admittedly its a little outdated and t-mobile insists on holding on to it.

    Time to make something happen T-mobile.

    @BroScience: No doubt but the fact its not on the list speaks volumes to me.

    What I was really getting at was that the Cliq is a far inferior phone to the G1 in most ways.

    @Badongadoodle: I'll offer some input if you promise to never use the phrase "back up that dump" again. ;-)

    The CLIQ (last I checked) was running Android 1.5, which means it's already a generation behind. It also disqualifies it from the GPS app. Additionally, the MOTOBLUR interface is a questionable advantage at best. From what I've seen, the Facebook/Twitter integration gadgets are less than stellar and only provide a chaotic view of your network.

    I don't think the G1 is head and shoulders above the CLIQ....but I do think it has a little more dignity. If nothing else because it gets the Google Experience branding instead of MOTOBLUR. Sense and Rachael were good improvements on top of Android. I'm less than convinced that MOTOBLUR has such an advantage.

    I purchased a set of H/K soundsticks, and I'm sure they sound way way better than this setup for not much more (I paid just $20 more than this). Apple's site lists them for $169, but they can be had new for a great deal cheaper if you shop around.

    This thread is going to become a total flame fest. Oh well. I have to say. You shouldn't count jailbreaking as a feature. You should weigh the merits out of the box. As far as the iPhone, you shouldn't have to jailbreak or hack a phone to gain functionality.

    Everyone has their needs but I have to say, after my real world usage, it's, at the very least, a dead heat between the Droid and the iPhone.

    After 3 weeks with the Droid I don't miss my iPhone AT ALL. My only plan for my iPhone is to unlock it and use a prepaid sim when I travel overseas (I'm pretty sure that's possible, if not I'm not too worried).

    WTF? ... a jailbroken iPhone on Tmo? Oh well. TMo coverage is trash anyway.

    @DustyButt™: I have a MT3G on Tmobile, and have no problems with coverage in the Chicago area, but I take it you're referring to nationwide coverage. I guess that's true. The fact that I got my phone, which is useable, but not the best, for $40 when I wasn't even eligible for an upgrade softens the blow a bit.

    Yes, Tmo national coverage is really bad for those who travel regionally.

    Honestly the CLIQ seems almost highway robbery at $100, compared with all the other Android phones out there. The more I see of the CLIQ, the less I like it. For myself, I can't stant the iPhone and I'd call an unlocked iPhone the best on T-Mo, if the CLIQ is its competition. The fact that it has 3G powers doesn't overshoot what the iPhone can do. Caveat: if the CLIQ is running Android 1.6, and thus qualifies for the new Maps app, then...maybe.

    Also: Droid for $150? Surprising and pleasing.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Jerry also have a PB Duo, as well? I seem to remember him having three macs, not just the one which you also happen to own, through the run of the show.

    Considering that my brother have a music studio and does multitrack recording, an iMac would be impossible to use, cause I just can't put an multitrack sound board on it. Unless if is USB (of firewire).

    @DiscoD: We don't use a Mac Pro because it is extremely expensive, even more here on Brazil. So, we use a PC. But we do not complain about it. My brother is not really a tech savvy, and he is used to mess around with windows. A new OS would take a while for him to adapt.
