my biggest complaint ... battery life, Tmobile's spotty 3g service (read slooooow download speeds and crappy/slow browser) and probably most noticeable is the performance lags. nothing is more annoying then waiting for the G1 to figure out what it wants to do. even when trying to close an...

I really love this phone, first and foremost. The simplicity of it's exterior only masks the unbelievable power this phone holds. Its fast and seamless motion between objects makes me feel like I can manage so many things at once... all my contacts, emails, txts, IM's, games, hell I...

Google's first phone, a strong entry but iPhone quickly made this phone seem years behind.

HTC fans I'm sure will quickly snap at my argument that the HTC Dream is a piece of junk. To be fair, HTC does put out some quality sliders. And we know they love their sliders. However, the Dream's form factor is a big downfall. The awkward "chin" makes typing a pain, and...

Before the homebrew community for the G1 was big, the coolest thing I could do on this phone was scan barcodes. It's not exactly a powerhouse in terms of its processing power, memory, and overall hardware specs, but the homebrew community (in particular people like @cyanogen) have made the...

The T-Mobile G1 is a great phone for what it is, the first Android device. It is no longer the flagship device and as such has lost some of its luster, however it continues to receive new google apps and some love from time to time. It is unclear if the device will ever be updated to Android...

Where to begin with the G1. I'm writing this review almost as a long term test. I'll be relegating my G1 to backup phone status come the new year (in favor of the G2). So I wanted to write a bit about my past 2 years with this phone, before I give it up, almost a historical piece....

I've been using this o develop and debug very simple apps, pretty solid phone but its age is showing

This phone is very ugly. I actually like the chin, but it is very bulky. The keyboard is sometimes difficult to type on because the keys are not pushed out at all. I like the conecept of the OS, but its horrible to look at is not very intuitive. T-Mobile's 3G is hardly anywhere, but I still...

I just want to point out that if you get one of this phone upgrade it to Eclair (Android 2.1)

I love my HTC Dream and have been happily using it for two months. The phone is loaded with tons of awesome features, looks and feels great, and manages to scoot out with only one flaw. I find that the sharing of the memory and storage on one media is absurd considering the gamut of applications...

I moved to the G1 a few months back from a two year old T-Mobile Dash (Windows Mobile 6 Standard). The G1 is/was the best phone T-Mobile had to offer and moving to AT&T was not an option so I bit the bullet. I primarily use my phone for work (we use Exchange) so I needed something that would...

The first phone I preordered and the first to get me started into an ongoing android love affair, it was ugly thick and had a atrocious battery looking back on it, but it will always hold a special place in my history of phones.
