It's far from the perfect package but it gets the things that mater done and gets them done right

here we are at the end of our very first Android-powered review. The T-Mobile G1 made quite a start and had us impressed on quite a few counts. It's far from the perfect package but it gets the things that mater done and gets them done right. The interface is not only up and running, it has purpose and... More

It's still the only handset on the market which runs on the Google Android OS

The dimensions of the Dream are 117.7 x 55.7 x 17.1mm with a total weight of 158g including the battery. While this may seem pretty hefty, you do have to bear in mind that it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, so it should be compared with devices such as the HTC Touch Pro and i-mate Ultimate 9502 rather... More

Google, a major player on the e-commerce market, has decided to also get involved in the communications market

Even if it's the first device to feature the new Android operating system, G1 seems solid enough to be a compatible option for those who are looking for an iPhone rival. After 2 hours of use, I realized that the G1 was only a shell that kept in the real “pearl,” more specifically Android.... More

T-Mobile G1 hands-on review - Life with the Android OS

8/10

The T-Mobile G1 is made by HTC. We’ve been closely following HTC’s rise to fame as the premier Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer on the planet. HTC makes some seriously high-quality hardware that never fails to impress us - with solid build quality and a penchant for the high-tech, HTC... More

While there's plenty to praise in this phone, there's a lot more that's missing

The G1 isn't going to blow anyone's mind right out of the gate. Looking only at the hardware, there's nothing here that's particularly impressive, yet nothing that's particularly bad (though the GPS needs some work). It's a fine, solidly designed device that has enough style to please most users -- but... More

Very unhappy with the phone

Let me say up front that when the phone works the way it is suppose to, I love it. However, I went through 3 of these phones and still have serious issues with the one I ended up with (I'm with Rogers BTW).
- The phone will shut off or freeze up unpredictably and the only answer is to remove... More

Problems Emerge

This phone was great at first, but recently has had serious problems. We are experiencing a problem that some other users are having too. The phone will often lose signal, but still indicate full bars. The 3G service does the same thing. This indicates either a serious software problem or some kind of... More

Dissapointing battery life and software performance

As a management consultant who travels almost weekly, I was eagerly looking forward to having mobile email and internet and urged by my wife to get this phone when it came out. However, after nearly two years with this phone, I can't wait for my contract to be up. As an early adopter of the T-mobile... More

I REALLY LOVED THIS phone...the apps, email, internet, even the text messaging layout is soooooo awesome. The one problem I have with this phone is that I've had it replaced already and it hadn't even been a year. It has a problem with shutting off by itself. I don't get calls sometimes... More
