T-Mobile (HTC) G1 - Google Android Smartphone specifications

We've waited a long time for Google to let Android come out to play, and it looks like this new mobile OS has the potential to be a major player. Everything about Android bodes well for its future, while its open source nature should mean that it will evolve at an exponential rate. But impressive as Android is, the G1 itself is far from the cutting edge handset I'd hoped it would be. That's not to say that the hardware is intrinsically bad, because it isn't. It's even possible that the issues I experienced with signal strength and battery life are just glitches with my early sample. However, what can't be ignored is that there are far better designed, better featured and better looking smartphones out there right now. If you absolutely must get your hands on Google Android as soon as possible, you'll probably buy a G1 and enjoy every minute with it. For everyone else though, it's worth waiting until hardware that's truly worthy of this new platform hits the scene. Read full review
