One of the things that seems to be not widely discussed in comparison of iPhone and G1, is that G1 only comes with 1GB memory (according to T-Mobile site - "With the 1GB memory card, you'll never be without your favorite tunes"). This is not enough for the modern smart phones, which will handle larger than previously volumes of data.
Data storage will be needed for music, videos, photos, email and applications. On one side, having expandable storage is a good thing for the G1, since a large card can be installed easily, however to truly match to iPhone, storage capacity needs to be taken in consideration. With the lower-end iPhones having 8GB of storage, G1 users will need to get up-to-par with at least 8GB micro-SD card.
Well, so much for lower than expected cost of the G1 phone at $179.99, now it is time to be prepared to throw extra $20-$60 for extra memory at your favorite electronics or T-Mobile store.
