subject: T-mobile G1 - A Review Of The Google Phone [print this page] Google launched its first Android based phone by the name T-Mobile G1. It has a 3.2 inch touch screen with HVGA output and also features a unique side slide QWERTY keypad. The specification list of T-Mobile G1 is not the most attractive because Google had its main focus on making a phone with a fast operating system. So the G1 may be low on the features end, but the user interface and its processing speed is impressive.
Weighing 158 grams the T-mobile G1 has physical dimensions 117 x 55.7 x 17.1. The design of this phone is not compact but a bit different from usual phones. It has a titled chin in the front with a side slide keypad just above it. Just below the screen on the tilted chin we have 4 buttons and one trackball similar to that in Blackberry phones. The screen of T-Mobile G1 is bright and displays each detail sharply. Above this the screen looks clear and precise in bright sunlight also.
The Android OS in T-Mobile G1 is a very intuitive and fun to use. One thing to be noticed about the Android OS is that it runs all the applications simultaneously and even if an application is closed the OS restores it to the same position when executed for the next time.
It has a 3 Mega Pixel camera and produces magnificent images with very low levels of noise in it. The only drawback concerned with its camera is it does not supports video recording. Being a Powerful android phone, you will enjoy surfing the internet on it. In other words Web browsing on T-Mobile G1 is simple, clean and fun to use. Bluetooth 2.0, mini USB 2.0, Wi-Fi and HSDPA 7.2 mbps are also provided in G1 for better connectivity.
Overall the T-Mobile G1 is fast, clean, Interactive, user friendly, and powerful GSM phone but there are other android phones with better technical specifications also present in the market. This is still a good phone and worth considering.
