10 Big Android Phone Shortcomings

1. No Exchange

T-Mobile and Google will be hard-pressed to compete with RIM's Blackberry or any other modern smartphone, given the absence of Exchange server support. This omission seems particularly foolish given the G1's built-in QWERTY keyboard and 3G connectivity. The iPhone's touch keypad is awkward and messy for people writing e-mail on the go; with the QWERTY, the G1 had a primo opportunity to hone in on Blackberry's turf. Google reps said they expect third-party application developers will create Exchange support soon enough, but its absence from the initial rollout sets the G1 behind competition just one day after its release.
