Unfortunately the address book is super-slow and often hangs. I think I have too many contacts. Is there some way to have it not import my whole gmail address book? - Paul Buchheit

Hi Paul. I saw you with an iphone in our of your previous pictures. What made you switch? - Edwin Khodabakchian

My iPhone is broken 50% of the time. It just gives "no signal". I was curious to try the Android anyway, since I'm getting very annoyed by the iPhone bugs. So far, it seems decent, though the ui feels kind of random at times, and also the address book hanging is an issue. - Paul Buchheit

wow 50% percent is obviously a "FAIL". I have 5 bars on my iPhone with great signal, but am seeing more and more dropped calls! grrrr! - Susan Beebe

Paul - for video, download voice recorder/video camera. but the whole thin is a little unstable :( - xavier vespa

You can choose a specific group to display or which groups of contacts to sync. Hit menu in contacts. You can set up contact groups on gmail. - Larry Greenfield

Also, you should use Larry's PhoneSpell app. Does the iPhone camera not have autofocus? Actually, I was boggled the first time I heard that cameraphones often have autofocus now. The mechanism is something like a spring and a little magnet. It's designed so it only consumes power when focus is non infinite. - ⓞnor

Many a time, I have struggled with the iPhone camera - Bindu Reddy

Wow; that's a really clear shot. Now I want a G1 - Benjamin Golub

The Blackberry Bold's photos turn out clearer IMO. I have taken some excellent shots with mine. - Nation Hahn

Nice photo. - bnoise

Hi Paul, how many are "too many contacts"? And did the cupcake update change that behaviour? - David Schmidt

The G1 has a surprisingly good camera, and yeah, I love that it can take macros clear enough for OCRing. - Fa La La La Lindsay

@Paul - adding on to Ryo's answer, you can also mark contacts as "Starred" and they show up on the special tab in your contact list on the phone. And there is also an option under the menu where you select which group to show that lets you show only "Contacts with phone numbers" which comes in handy. - Fa La La La Lindsay

I definitely want a GPhone! - Stanislas Jourdan
