T-Mobile G1 Android Phone in the Flesh

Managed to “borrow” one of the recently released T-Mobile G1 (a.k.a. Google Android Phone) and cooking up a full review. For the meantime, let me share some photos.

The Google Phone is one of the oddest phone I’ve ever seen in terms of design and form factor. Even the mechanism for flipping out the keyboard is a bit unconventional.

Took several shots of the phone together with the Nokia E71, iPhone 3G and Xperia X1 for some visual comparison. The G1 is indeed huge and bulky.

Will be done with my review before the week ends so watch out for it.

    If the firmware hasn’t been upgraded yet, try entering the text “reboot” anywhere in the G1 and press enter - it should reboot the phone. Weirdest bug I ever heard of in a shipping unit - they forgot to switch off some of the debug code in the OS apparently. :)

    @jan

    you said your a iphone user, so dun ka talaga kakampi.. but for this phone na open source its good, and lahat ng hindi gusto ni iphone kinuha ni g1, exepecting more androids phone to come in 2009:)

    actually it depends on ano ang habol nang tao. for media, iphone is the obvious winner. for open source goodness, this will definitely be something to look out for. imagine being able to interconnect each app to one another, this is something na wala talaga si iphone. we would just need to wait for good apps to be made. would definitely love having this phone for my sun. but only because I have an iphone na. :)

    The Google phone would be the choice of those people who are price conscious. But of course people in the Philippines especially those who belongs to the “Sosyal” community would definitely choose the iPhone over this one.
