Looks good except the USB headphone jack. So no charging while listening to music...

Oh No! No A2DP stereo Bluetooth I guess I will be refusing the package when it arrives. I overlooked this but cannot live without it. What are they thinking? It doesnt even rival the WIng now.
As for charging while listenning you should be able to get an adapter like for the Wing.

I recommend research before you get the phone on Oct 22nd and how the things will be in the future for A2DP standard. It may be supported by one of the firmware updates that Android will publish in the future. I also may be wrong but it's a worth of shot. I think you should not refuse the package based on this little omission with the G1. If it really is big of a deal, I suggest you refuse the package and then wait until the firmware is updated - and then get the phone ... I am sure it will not be discontinued in the next few months
