Hugh Pickens writes "Laura Holson writes in the NY Times that she "wandered down to the T-Mobile store at Ninth Ave. and 43rd St. in New York City to see what kind of crowds — if any — were lining up to buy the new T-Mobile G1 which went on sale Wednesday" and saw no lines out the door, no crowding at the counter, and a complete lack of crowds. The iPhone appears to still be the gold standard and Etan Horowitz writes that the G1 "doesn't do a great job showcasing its potential. It isn't as intuitive as the iPhone, and it may take average users a while to figure out basic and advanced shortcuts and features" and "may appeal more to techies who value open-source products and don't mind a somewhat steep learning curve." Part of the reason for slow interest may also be that T-Mobile's 3G high-speed data network won't up and running in many cities until the end of the year."
