T-Mobile G1 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The T-Mobile G1 is the first "Googlephone"
running the Android operating system. The G1 has a large touch-sensitive
display and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. It's best features are its
mobile internet applications such as Gmail and Google Maps, as well
as built-in GPS and WiFi support. Weaknesses include the dire camera,
lack of memory, difficulty interfacing with a PC or Mac and general
"beta" feel to the whole thing. We'd recommend waiting for
the next Android phone, or choosing the iPhone
3G instead.
 The
T-Mobile G1 is the first handset to use Google's Android operating system.
To us, it feels pretty much like a beta release, rather like the original
iPhone - good in some ways, but not really cutting it as a phone.
Available in a choice of white or black, the device looks a bit like
the iPhone's ugly sister, but you
can slide the screen to one side to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard beneath.
The screen itself is touch-sensitive, giving you a choice of input methods.
The accelerometer automatically rotates the screen between landscape
and portrait modes, depending on how you hold the phone. It's not a
small phone: too big to use single handedly, and really heavy too. Weighing
158g, it's the heaviest smartphone currently on the market - the same
as Sony Ericsson's Xperia,
but not half as good looking.
OK, so this is the long awaited "Googlephone", and it's all
about Google. This is a 3G phone that's clearly designed for accessing
the mobile internet, with a large screen, web browser, Google applications
and email. But plenty of smartphones can do that. What's special about
the G1? Well, of course it's great for browsing the web, with its big
screen (3.2 inches is massive, let's face it), ultra-fast 7.2 Mbps HSDPA
connection, WiFi and easy text input. It's completely Google flavoured.
It's integrated with Gmail, Google maps, Google search, YouTube and
Facebook. But this is a double-edged sword. Suppose you want to do something
that's not approved by the Google thought police? Like synchronise with
Outlook. Nope, no can do. Won't even speak to a PC. or a Mac. Don't
even think about replacing your BlackBerry
with a G1!
You can download new apps from Android Market - some free, some you
have to pay for. There are going to be loads more developed in the future,
so no doubt lots of interesting stuff will be available here. Android
is a multitasking operating system, so you can run apps in parallel,
like view Google Maps whilst talking on the phone. Be careful though,
as the more apps you run, the slower the phone will be and the more
likely it is to crash. We don't yet have a view on how robust Android
is. It's not the kind of thing you can tell from a short test session.
We'll have to wait and see what our users think after they've been using
their Android machines for some time.
It's clearly intended as a mobile internet device rather than a multimedia
wizard. Cos multimedia wizard it isn't! The camera is about as good
as the original iPhone's camera, i.e. at the bottom of the class. Although
it's rated at 3.2 megapixels, it has no flash, no zoom, no video capability.
There is an MP3 player, but no FM radio. One good thing it does have
though is built-in GPS. This is a nice implementation that integrates
well with Google Maps and even has a digital compass.
The G1 comes with a 2GB microSD card, which is inadequate really. Thankfully
you can upgrade this to 8GB, but we feel that an 8GB card should have
been supplied in the first place. We're pleased that it's got quadband
support though, as well as 3G.
Even so, we're disappointed by the number of things that have been
left out. No predictive text, no voice dialling, no video calling, no
MMS video capability, no ability to use the phone as a modem. Pause
for breath ... no ability to sync with a PC or Mac, no FM radio, no
document viewer, no video recorder!
Battery life deserves a paragraph of its own. Its awful! If you use
this phone as intended (i.e. all the time) you'll need to recharge it
every few hours. And with a device as big and heavy as this, there's
really no excuse for this.
We think that the G1 is going to turn out to be very much like the
original iPhone. Massively over-hyped, brilliant at some things, but
with too many flaws to be considered a mature technology. Some will
love it, some will hate it. We steer a middle course and have tried
to recognise the good bits, whilst pointing out the bad bits. Please
don't send us hate mail like Apple lovers/haters did after our iPhone
review. Remember ... it's just a phone.

- Google Android operating system
- 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus

This phone is amazing, I'm actually writing the review on it now, I'm
14 and its great to keep in vontact with mates, its simple and cool,
I've only had to restart once in my 1month or so of use (due to MY error)
it hasn't been falty atall, must buy really worth it. The only problem
is the battry life, but this was 2nd hand so I assume the previous owner
didn't quite break into it. Its brilliant besides that!

I think that the phone is spectacular...with one little flaw. You have
no option to save applications to the SD card. The phone handles up
to a 16gb SD card, but that only serves to hold media files. Android
supplies just about as many applications as you could shake a stick
at; however, no place to put them. We need a fix quick, fast, and in
a hurry.

Personally you did not do all of your researching. The g1 may not come
with all of your features u wanted it to right out of the box. BUT it
has an app market obviously which cupcake released many versions of
video recording apps. Which the g1 works we'll with. And there as been
4+ different ones. Each one correcting flaws from the last. Before u
know it your g1 can have everything u need it to have. Please don't
be stero typical and be ungrateful of a phone that doesn't water ur
plants for you. Or have breakfast waiting by ur bedside in the morning.
App friendly phones allow u to get what u want. Allowing "your phone"
to be "your phone" my g1 records video. It has auto rotate for the screen
it has a touch screen keyboard. And many other features. And no signs
of slowing or crashing. Keep up the work. Just look more into things
before posting ur reviews. Thanx. Happy g1 customer.

I've had my G1 for a year now, and have been using smartphones and pdas
for many years. There's a lot to like about it. Just operating as a
phone, it does a great job. Easy to navigate your contacts, and then
to email, phone, or sms them. Nice intuitive interface for getting around.
It has lots of features including 3G, B/T, Wifi, Accelerometer, Electronic
Compass, Assisted GPS, Real Keyboard, 480x320 Touchscreen, 3 mpixel
camera, trackball, mini-usb port, removable battery, micro-sd slot,
proper multi-tasking. Love the gmail integration. Add a new contact
on gmail, and it is on your phone in a minute or two, likewise the other
way round. The email client works very well (I have it working with
imap, 2x pop3, gmail accounts). The Android Market is great. Lots of
really good applications (and many of them free). AndNAV2, Places Directory,
Shazam, ConnectBot, Weather, Shopping, Games, all bases covered! I'll
finish off with some of the not-so-wonderful things. The battery life
is acceptable, but it 'could' have been better (Still it is better than
the iPhone). It isn't as much of a looker as the iPhone, although it
does have extras which the iPhone doesn't (e.g. keyboard, remove battery,
etc). T-mobile reception is a bit hit and miss. Some menus and options
are hard to find.

May I suggest your G1 review of a year ago needs updating to take account
of the phone's software update back in May. It now has a video camera,
touchscreen (in portrait and landscape, faster browser and improved
battery life. It is effectively the same as the HTC Magic which you
give one more star (4 as opposed to 3). The only difference between
the devices is that the G1 also has a physical keyboard and is thus
heavier. You could argue it's uglier but that is a matter of opinion
– the fact that the Magic only comes in white limits its aesthetic
appeal somewhat. So come on Ed, why the glaring inconsistency?

I do love my g1 phone but there are a few problems that do occur with
this phone, the main 1 being that it does not take a lot for the phone
to break for example i accidently dropped the phone from my pocket within
1 week off of getting it and as a result it broke and did not work,
lucky for me i was still within the guarentee from the shop i bought
it from so a replacement was given to me free of charge, so no problems
for a few month and then shock horror i dropped it again this time from
only 6 to 12 inch from the ground and as a result a massive crack has
appeared on my screen this has been a major annouyance to me. Second
problem has to be the battery life, seems to want to run out in the
middle of imporatant calls or web browsing, and also the video downloads
are frankly naff, with videos taking forever to download, very much
a bit of a dissapointment but like any new type of phone give it a bit
of time or wait for a better upgrade to come out.

I love this phone! I have had an iphone and enjoyed it. But I would
take the G1 any day. The big advantage is that you can get all the applications
you need for nothing. Browsers, media players, ebooks and readers, PDF
viewers, Beebplayer (live BBC TV and radio channels and the programmes
you like to watch again), as well as all the games you will ever need.
If one of these apps is updated the phone tells you and you can download
the new version in a minute. There are however two issues that need
to be addressed. The camera is average at best. Videos come out grainy
and photos are average quality. The other problem is the battery life.
It is pathetic. However you can buy a better battery which cures the
power problem. All in all I love it and will stick to google android
phones when I get my upgrades.

I came to the end of my last contract and fully intended to get an iphone.
I was, however, really put off by the price of the iphone. I don't know
why, but I went into T-mobile. There, I was offered the G1, 800mins
and unlimited texts and internet for £30 a month - far, far cheaper
than the iphone. On top of that, the advisor gave me a free headset
as well. The phone is incredibly simple to use, and what I thought would
be it's biggest failing is actually it's biggest strength. The qwerty
keyboard is very simple and easy to use, and as a frequent internet
browser, am pleased to say the phone is the iphone's equal in every
way (I own an ipod touch). The apps store has some very, very useful
apps and more are added at all times. In short, this comes highly recommended
as a cheaper alternative to the iphone. If, like me, you didn't want
to spend a lot of money on a phone, but still wanted something that
could do the things an iphone could do, then you could do far worse
than invest in this.

This phone is brilliant. It does everything you need it to do, and much,
much more. You can download for free pretty much any application you
can think of from the android market, and as soon as you've got to grips
with the way the phone works and how to deal with shortcuts etc, anything
is possible. The battery life is a let down, but as previously said,
I put my phone on charge overnight, and take it off the next morning.
It will work fine all day.. admittedly it may be running low by the
evening but it will last, and then I can charge it again. It all depends
on how much you use the internet/applications etc, and I use them regularly
throughout the day. The camera is actually pretty decent, although I
have a digital camera which, surprisingly enough, is designed for taking
pictures, and therefore I don't need to use my phone. The phone is heavy,
but this doesn't really bother me, and I don't notice it. In my opinion,
this is a great phone, does everything you could want it to do, and
I highly recommend it.

I am hugely sorry to report that the G1 in my view is a hugely flawed
phone. Here are some of the problems with it: 1. The battery life is
rediculously short and you find yourself planning your day around where
you can plug in your charger. 2. The volume knob (which controls the
ringing volume, etc) sits exactly where you want to hold the phone when
in portrait mode which means that it is far too easy to accidentally
switch the ringer off. 3. The processor is slow. A friend of mine came
round with his iPhone the other day and I was amazed how he could zip
around between applications - MILES faster than I can on the G1 or my
old Blackberry. 4. I find the interface incredibly non-intuitive. It's
as if it's a first beta version. I can't go into why - there are just
so many examples of where you want to do something - like text someone
who has just rung you - and there is no way to do it. I find that you
have to have a pen and paper handy to copy numbers down. 5. The camera
is blurry and really not worth having. 6. There is no Flash plugin for
the browser which means that many websites don't work properly. 7. The
calendar is limited and can't synchronise properly with my Lotus Notes
calendar because it doesn't have different types of calendar entry.
I could go on... I am very sorry I got this phone because now I'm stuck
with it for 1.5 years :-(

This is a brilliant phone. I've had it for a month now, and have struggled
to put it down. The Android Market is great, and it's faultless in almost
all other aspects. I've seen a lot of reviews slamming it's size, but
I've got to say I've just come back from a spell in that technological
Mecca Tokyo and their phones are all getting back to about the size
of the G1. Better to have a nice big screen, a full QWERTY keyboard
and loads of features than a stylish-but-insubstantial smaller phone.
The other downsides ? poor battery life and camera ? I'm inclined to
agree with, however it's just not an issue with me. I put it on to charge
when I go to sleep and it's fine all the next day ? I don't stay awake
for 48hrs any more, so I don't mind if my phone doesn't either. And
I have a digital camera which I use for taking pictures ? so I can live
without my old Cybershot phone. I'd pick the G1 over the i-Phone, or
any other phone, any day of the week.

Despite what the 1 star reviews say this phone is not "poor" and nor
is it a waste of money. Having got mine today I was generally impressed
and especially with the web browser and amount of apps. The iphone does
apparently have over 15,000 apps but let me say that the Gphone, has
quite a few itself and shouldn't be knocked for that. It has everything
from Facebook and Meebo to Doom and Pac-man. Let's be fair, it's the
first version of the phone and from here on in it can only get better!
Bluetooth isn't really essential for my usage so it's not something
I will greatly miss. As for the video, well, you can even download an
app for that too!

I love my white G1. The battery life is poor but that is due to it's

with the Android market on this phone solutions can be quickly implemented.
It is dissapointing that there is no video or bluetooth feature but
I only really used it for tunes which I can download using an app. Overall
I think it is a great phone and have already reccomended it to many

Maps, Location Services etc are all first class. My wife has the iPhone

also if you turn off the wifi which you don't need with the web n walk

& easy to master. Loads of interesting applications to download (even
managed to download an application so you get an on screen keyboard
for texting, rather than having to keep sliding it open). Keyboard is
good layout & easy to use - my friends keep moaning that I respond to
quickly to texts lol. No problems with crashing etc. Only bug is the
battery life, but went out & bought a car charger so I'm never left
in the lurch now ;-). Very eye catching phone, have been stopped on

one themselves :- )! No problems browsing the internet either, no pages

Further to my initial opinion's on 07 Jan 2009. The phone is holding
up well. Had to get decent case as it is a scratch magnet and do not
want to be petrified of putting it in my pocket. The phone itself continues
to perform well in every aspect except and this is the killer the battery
which depite some initial improvments after week 1 are now awful. If
you use the phone to any great degree then the batery barely lasts 12
hours which I am sorry T-Mob and HTC is just unacceptable. I will due
to contractual obligations soldier on for the next 7-8 months but then
will look to nget out around month 10 unless the sugested firmware improves
the situation. The O/S is great and looks to have the potential to be
everything the iphone is not but the app market needs to improve very
quickly and get some decent apps out there for video - Core player or
Divx anyone?? as short of arnie sounds and fart apps it is a little
bare. Here's hoping for the future

First of all I had my doubts about this. It feels rather plastic and
cheap, as if Google rushed it out, and I think they did. It comes with
a 2gb memory card which was nice but getting the back off to insert
the battery and sim card was (and still) a nightmare. It's NOT the brick
everyone says it is. True it's bigger and heavier than many handsets
but so are most phones with these capabilities. The camera isn't the
best but it does have autofocus and the trick is not to just press and
shoot but hold down the button until it focuses *then* take the shot.
As long as it's in good daylight it will come out ok. People complain
about no predictive text - but it has a qwerty keyboard, why would it
need it?? The touchscreen is good, no complaints there. GPS works well
(I managed to get a signal indoors) and it helped me find a particular
shop in Birmingham when I was lost - it showed me I was 2 streets away,
very good. Loads of good applications and I love the way texts messages
are stacked so each 'conversation' is like an msn chat. Battery life
is a letdown but if you completely discharge it and charge it up for
6 hours (or overnight) with the phone off, after 3 or 4 days it becomes
ok although is a double power battery available from some sites. Call
quality is fine. All in all I'm happy with it but would have been more
impressed if the build quality was better. One or 2 things have been
left out (it needs an on-screen keyboard and video capture) but apparently
the new software update will address these and other issues.

I got the G1 on a 12 month deal with T-Mobile in the UK. The phone system
and the android operating system are great and android definitely has
a future and I can see it coming out on multiple platforms and then
future handsets will determine your preferences. The handset looks beter
in the hand than it does in any of the pictures or blogs and the white
version does sem more sturdy and professional whereas the black - well
looks a little rubbery!! The only gripes I have are well known: 1. The
lack of video is a missed opportunity, but redeemable via firmware upgrade
and that is not along term problem. 2. The lack of a good standard video
player I think is really unforgiveable and to say leave it to the market
does miss the point. Yes use the market but to get a better or more
dynamic version but not to get a version full stop - Poor Google Poor!
3. Battery life is poor but does improve over the course of the first
week and I can now get 2 days with 3g on with no problems. I shut off
the wifi and gps unless needed. But I had a N95 before and the battery
life on that was always poor but it did not stop it from becoming a
future cult device. I generally think favourably regarding the handset.
It is not a business focussed handset and the lack of an exchange client
can be problematic for some but if google is your thing then the ability
to manage mail, messaging, contacts and calendars and music is a great
convergence divice and for changing the market and offering choice I
think it is to be recommended for all users who want something a little
different. Sure the G1 will be history in 12-18 months but then hey
so are the rest of the mobile devices which are new until the next new
thing.

At first experience I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this phone. The touchscreen is
nicely responsive and I love the fact that theres a home screen but
you can also drag your home page to the right,,which unveils an empty
page (much like an empty part of a desktop) where you can place shortcuts
for many of the things you acess often. Using it as a phone gives off
no problems and the browser is very good (almost on par with the iphone
but not quite). The trackwheel is very good (better than all the blackberry
ones..curve/pearl/8220/8820 and etc). The cool things come once you
download some of the FREE apps offered for this phone (all of the barcode
scanning apps are not all that precise but sometimes may become useful
and are fun) plus Shazam is very good at recognizing music (even unregistered
tracks from unregistered mixes) and for some reason apple is advertising
this music recognizing feature in their iphone commercials, but don't
be fooled, it's available to all. And there are probably a couple hundred
free apps for downloading so there's a lot of entertainment value here.
Plus YouTube is on par with the IPhone. Now onto the negative, the GPS
is sub-par and rarely recognizes EXACTLY where you are and street view
is available in too few places. The battery life is really bad (even
without activating the GPS sattelites, which further drains it). The
camera just does not feel like it's 3.2 mp, it looks very VGAish. It's
nice that you can dial a phone number on the touchscreen but it would
have been nice to have the ability to type some things on the touchscreen
as well. It's quite annoying having to flip the screen EVERYTIME you
have to type something, especially if you are on the browser and you
want to quickly go to a url (id rather type NBA.com on the screen than
have to flip the screen open). All the rest of the things you guys mentioned
up there, no MMS video capabilities, no syncing with PC or a Mac, no
T9. and the back that the phone is very heavy. Nevertheless it's a fun
device to have but overall I would agree with the 3 star rating.

of this the touch screen and instant messaging to any major client such

How long did this guy spend on the phone??? 10 minutes??? the battery
life is on par with an N96 which is approx 48 hours. what i will say
is that the London Oxford street street t-mobile store was open at 7am
with a que that has started to form at 5am and by 9am had sold 50 units!!!!!.
that many people cant be wrong!!! also bear in mind that only 10% of
the stock ever made were back so you will most likely get a white one
