ASUS G1 AK005P

The Jolly-Good G1

Advantages: A very wide range of features
Disadvantages: Doing too much causes the battery to die quickly, Poor Camera

The T-Mobile G1 is my first foray into the world of smart phones. Previously a keen Sony Ericsson Walkman phone user, I wasn?t too sure how I?d adjust to such a dramatically different phone. Honesty, I adjusted quite well. The G1 takes a bit of time to get used to but I don?t regret my decision. Appearance and Design The G1 has a rather simple design. It has a 3.2 inch screen and is 117.7 mm in length, 55.7 mm in width and 17.1 mm in thickness. Below the screen is a menu button, answer and cancel call buttons, a back button, a button tacking you back to the home screen and a trackball. Beneath this row of button is space for the phones? 1GB memory card. The G1 features a QWERTY keyboard (making writing anything so very quick and simple) which you can access by easily sliding the screen across, this also changes the orientation ...

Review of T-Mobile G1

The G1... Gets A G- From Me!

Advantages: Android Market, Google Maps
Disadvantages: Design, Unresponsive Screen, Bad Keypad Layout, Bad Battery Life

I have been due for an upgrade since September, but am still waiting for the release of the phone I really want, I rang up to see if there was any release date set for it but was told there was still no date set, but would I like to charge the T Mobile G1 instead?! I haven't really been interested in this phone because of having read a few reviews, and looking the spec etc up myself, it just wasn't something that appealed to me. I said I'd prefer to just wait but the sales guy said I could try it for 7 days and if it wasn't to my liking, I could send back and there'd be no difference in my account status, so after a bit of persuasion, I agreed. The phone is the result of a joint partnership between T Mobile (operator) and Google (operating system), however the actual handset is made by HTC who regularly make phones to be rebranded by ...

The T-Mobile G1 - A formidable opponent to the iphone

Advantages: Built-in compass sensitive Google Street View
Disadvantages: Slightly conservative look

Although outwardly not as aesthetically pleasing as the iphone, the T-Mobile G1 is definitely a force to be reckoned with. It's body may be a little more "corporate" looking than that of it's ultra stylish competitor, but the G1's slightly smaller size and shape actually give it a more pleasant feel in the hand and pocket. Unlike the iphone it also has a sleek, slide out , backlit qwerty keyboard for those who find this type of text entry quicker and more comfortable. The newly developed Android operating system is visually and operationally fantastic and in many ways feels similar to that of Apple's Mac OS. Operationally the G1 allows the user to customize their desktop in the same way as the iphone, with one-tap icon navigation to all of the users chosen applications. These great applications are instantly downloadable from ...
