I love my G1, still to this day. I refused to fall prey to the much-hyped iPhone (which I believe is a necessary revolution that fell flat on it's face in areas of importance to me), so I jumped on the Google bandwagon. Open source! Free to license! Free to develop for! Tight Google...

So far this is the best smart phone i have had yet. I am not a Apple fan so this worked perfect for me. The battery life is week, but the phone is fairly durable. I have known many people who drop there iphone once and it begins acting strange. I have dropped my phone many time without any notice...

Pros: Very good Google integration Solid OS good keyboard Less expensive monthly bill compared to iPhone T-Mobile have good customer service Nice selection of Apps Cons: Battery life is so so with the original battery. Overall a very good choice for a super smart phone at a reasonable cost. The...

Overall, I'm happy with the phone so far. It gets a bit warm at times and battery life can be pretty poor if you have all the gewgaws enabled, but with some tweaks it will go all day and then some. My only real complaint right now is with the keyboard. I got one of the white Dreams and...

I'll admit that I wanted this phone because I loved the ui of the iPhone but didn't want to switch carriers. I preorderd and received it in November and on the whole I wasn't disappointed. Sharp capacitive touch screen, easy to press keys and the trackball is a real bouns!...

Honestly don't really have a sense of gadget style. That's a good thing because everyone else seems to agree that the G1 is sort of fugly. The thing is, though, that the hardware scored very will on my usability scale. Or it would if I were rigorous enough to actually score things and...

The original iPhone was introduced in mid-2007 and proceeded to take the world by storm. The G1/HTC Dream, billed as THE competitor to the iPhone, was launched to North American audiences in late 2008 and fell flat. Why? AT&T, host to the iPhone, and T-Mobile, host to the G1, are virtually...

Now that the "Cupcake" update has been pushed out over the air, I can say a few things about the G1. First, the hardware keyboard is completely useless now. The soft-keyboard is much more comfortable to use and predictive text is pretty hot. Second, the 75MB of on-board memory is not...

When I first heard of the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 I was as excited as pretty much anyone with an interest in tech. It was only when my phone arrived that I realised what an overrated device it actually was. Firstly the hardware. The only plus point I can find with this phone is the keyboard....

Fun to use because it has great features and great software. Fun to program because the entry costs are near zero, the software is sophisticated, fast, complex, and the user interface looks good. A part of the programming fun comes from the fact that it is complex and rather difficult to learn to...

I base my review after owning the iPhone 3G for just a tad longer. Both are good phones and really cannot contrast the two as both excel in my mind. Keyboard: With cupcake update, you have a physical Qwerty or on screen, AWESOME! Screen: Good Resolution, contrast, color, all good!...
