Abstract: The T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone, designed by Google and made by HTC, remains firmly in the shadow of the iPhone—for now. The phone, which goes on sale next week in the US and next month in Britain, was released too early. The HTC hardware and Android...
Very good touchscreen, Customizable user interface, Excellent Web browser, One-touch search, Fast data speeds over 3G
Can’t input text using touchscreen, No video recorder, 3.5 mm jack, or stereo Bluetooth, Small number of apps in Android Market, Limited cut-and-paste functionality, Runs warm
The T-Mobile G1 is the smart phone equivalent of a Google beta application: innovative and mostly satisfying, but it also feels like a work in progress. Key among the G1’s strengths is the new Google Android operating system, which, unlike the iPhon...
Abstract: There is a lot riding on the shoulders of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. In some ways, it carries the collective hopes of Linux, open source and Google fans everywhere. It's open, collaborative and community-based, in other words, everything the iPh...
Abstract: Video Review: Apple finally has a competitor in the phone market. The T-Mobile G1 may not have the visual panache and artistry of Apples UI, and some basic features are missing or slightly undercooked, but in terms of navigating the phones myriad ...
Android experience is excellent; Web browser is amongst best available on cell phones; Great touchscreen; Touchscreen plus trackball plus QWERTY board provides multiple input options; Notifications bar is handy; Great GMail & Google services implementa...
Big, bulky, heavy, and not particularly attractive; QWERTY thumbboard is not as good as those on other recent HTC phones; Lacks 3.5mm headphone jack; No Stereo Bluetooth or video capture/playback support out of the box
Android will change the game, and while far from perfect, the G1 is more than compelling. I have a list of complaints a mile long but they’re overshadowed by how fun the Android user experience is on the T-Mobile G1.
Excellent, fun and intuitive new interface design from Google. Solid messaging and Web browsing options. Surprisingly good camera. ...
Dull hardware design. Serious reception problems hurt voice quality. Lacks many necessary options, including business e-mail and video player. ...

Abstract: Video Review: We finally get a chance to unwrap the G1, the first phone to make use of the new Google Android technology, to see what makes it so sexy....
Abstract: Sure, we hit up the press event and got some early hands on action, but there’s nothing like a really solid review, right? We’ve been using the T-Mobile G1 for around a week and we’ve literally combed through the entire device. So much so that we spli...
Google Android platform, no walled garden, responsive, fast, stable.
Missing headphone adapter, thick size, limited TMobile 3G coverage, video player in development, Final Score: 5/5
Some will ask flat-out, is Android better than iPhone? Some will yell at us for brining up that question (yes, we read your comments… all of them). The answer is two-fold. As a not-yet-released phone, the G1 and Android do not have the polish th...
Abstract: T-Mobile G1, the mobile device born of the team of Google, T-Mobile, and HTC, is a complete surprise. Multitasking, a free and open Java SDK, a fabulous WebKit-based browser, a navigation trackball, and a QWERTY keyboard put the G1 at the top of the sub-...
