Does anyone have any experiences with this phone? Just wondering as I am looking at it, trying to convince myself that an iphone isn't the best way forward. Is the battery life really as poor as people say it is? Any opinions would be appreciated. Link: The new T-Mobile G1 with...

I guess it seems fairly obvious that many of us use the same alias's across numerous discussion boards and such on the worldwide web. However i think it would be a good idea to have a thread such as this where we can all post our alias's and discover what our fellow head-fier's listen to...

Anyone had the pleasure of owning both, and could shed some light on the size of the gap in terms of quality, soundstage, transparancy etc. I just really want to know whether UE11's are worth double the Shure's, as I am finding my Shures to be so pleasing thus far.
