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 ...

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

It has an expandable memory capacity, which makes it easier to store any photos or music etc that you want without running out of internal memory.
On first start up you are asked to either log in with an existing Google account, or forced to set up a new one, it's not such a big deal but I'd prefer to not have a phone that forces me to set up a new account just to use it if I'm perfectly honest. After the first start up you are greeted with a black screen with a simple font saying G1 in the middle, and the T Mobile logo underneath. There's no music on start up either, at least not on mine anyway!

The T-Mobile G1 is an exceptional device which allows you to do everything that you need when you need to do it. In the UK, the device comes with Unlimited Internet Usage, 'Unlimited' Meaning 1GB a Month of Bandwith, and the ability to access all of the applications avaliable on the Application Market. The Application Market is an online section, accessable via the mobile phone, to download various tools, games and various other types of apps, that can be executed on the mobile. Most of the applications are free, however; there are some that charge a small one-time fee, usually less than £1.50 (US $1.99). In my honest opinion the ability to add things, mostly for free, onto your mobile is a major bonus.
The phone also ships with a Youtube application, and using the 3G Internet connection that the phone is compatable with, streams High ...
