it was cool to show off in a restaurant, but a pain in the rear to haul around.

A comment on G's target market. An earlier poster was concerned that G had not done enough to "sell" the "it's totally new" approach. You miss the point, IMHO. What G sells is a better cell phone. Just as roaming was a minor issue when cell phones first appeared, it now plays a major role in "selling" the service.
