I fell in love with this phone as soon as I got it. The Android OS is quite nice. Google tends to think about functionality a lot and that shows. I love the slide-out keyboard like crazy. I also like how customizable things are becoming over time within the OS. The sync with my Google contacts...

While not bad for a "1.0" product, the G1 is definitely challenged by the power and capability of Android, especially features like video recording and heavy multi-tasking. In addition, you'll want to buy an extra battery to get through the day. In fact you may want to get a big...

Being a extreme Google fan, I eagerly pre-ordered the G1 the day it was available. The excitement I had for the phone, and the potential of Android was through the roof. And for the most part, I haven't been too disappointed with my decision. The G1 has been a great intro into Android, and...

I love my HTC Dream - it has a nice big touchscreen, a great trackball, the keys are well spaced out, the microphone is good quality, and the slide mechanism feels good quality. The only negative about the hardware is that the chin makes it harder to type on one half of the keyboard. But the...

The G1 needs to be examined on two different levels, the phone and the OS. Overall though the phone is a great smart phone and easily comparable to other smart phones, maybe not the iphone, but definitely the windows mobile phones and blackberry. First off the phone; While the phone itself is...

This is a great phone. I switched to it from an iPhone and I have to say that I don't miss my iPhone at all. This lets me do everything I did with my iPhone and more. The expandable memory slot is great and the fact that I can browse the memory cards file system is great. I can use as...

This is going to be a in-depth review so if you want to know about this phone read this. Part 1- My Personal Opinion Look this phone is arguably the best phone on the market. There are some small things feature and hardware wise, for example the phone isn't exactly the thinnest phone on...

Pros: Nothing super specific to the hardware, more the OS. Although I do love having a physical keyboard. Cons: Battery could be a *little* better, it's not terrible for me as I'm near a way to charge it almost all the time, but if I didn't work in the office it could be...

This phone is the best phone I have every played with or owned. I have used Iphones, WM phones, palms (not the pre), and worst of all Symbian phones. I find that I have only 1 complaint about the android OS. Google decided to make the OS smart, so when you close a program... it doesn't...

No excuses- The battery is awful. However that knocks out my complaint about having a dedicated head phone jack. I wouldn't be able to use this device for my music if I had a prayer of using it as a phone- the battery would simply die. The battery aside, this phone is great. With the...

This is my primary phone for two reasons: (1) Physical keyboard (2) Android platform is open Pros: - I've been using Google Voice as a replacement dialer/SMS for about one week, and really like it. - I actually like the heft of it. My wife has dropped hers a few dozen times onto...

I'll start out by saying that I think Android is the best mobile OS out there. I have to say that the User Interface isn't the most eye-catching or the most user-friendly, but it's super customizable and has a lot of potential. However, the phone's hardware is a major...
