The G1 is a great phone. I do all my business mobile now. when i located all the applications in the market i went crazy. I have banking on line a timesheet program for my husbands hours and all kinds of great things. The G1 is also a great music, movie and game machine i can't stop playing the old school pac-man with sound and everything.

I admit, I don't normally rush out and buy new technology on the first day - it is always full of bugs, and the price always drops dramatically three weeks later. But I ignored all of that and went to the T-Mobile store the day the G1 came out. The difference in my experience at T-Mobile versus what I had heard about that other phone were immense. A coworker told us he stood in line for three hours nearly a week after that other phone had come out. I walked in the day the phone came out, and 20 minutes later, was already syncing up my emails and using the GPS to track our route in the car. Since...

I usually don't care about having an up to date cell phone, but when I heard this one came with google applications I had to have it. I use google for everything, pictures, emails, chat, calender and more. It is a great phone that takes all the fun from your computer and lets you use it on your phone.

The T-Mobile G1 is a strong phone especially for those with a higer than avergae knowledge of technology and those who want a great deal of flexibility and customization options.

Before purchasing my G1 I had considered several other trouch screen smart phones including the Iphone.  In the end I settled with the G1 for its functionality and the possibility for customization and expansion.  The phone runs on the Android operating system written by Google which is very strong.  It runs smoothly and efficiently.  The operating system includes the ability for the user to customize practically everything. ...

I opted on the G1 phone when I had the chance to open a new contract with TMobile.  Everyone raved about their Iphones but I just found not having a keyboard would severely limit my ability to do anything besides make phone calls, so I went with this G1 phone.

The phone comes ready to go, you just charge it and its ready.  There are the standard features, full keyboard if you slide up the screen, and also a touch screen.  This phone does come with a camera, but it's not the best. The features are fairly simple to operate, and you have access to email, instant messaging, web browser, and maps...

I've never had a great, cool phone before and I happened into this one through T-Mobile.  First, it wasn't terribly expensive and I had heard some very good things about it from reviews.  T-Mobile's everything package (unlimited texting and unlimited 3G Data package) is affordable, much more affordable than the iPhone and ATT'S package.  T-Mobile even offered to spread the phone's payments out over 4 months, so that added around 40 a month for 4 months to my bill, of which I had a month to pay anyways...no interest was added for this convenience.  Secondly, The phone is somewhat future proof:...

The T-Mobile G1 is a great phone, but that's not all that it is.  It's also a digital music player, a mobile internet device, an email reader, a camera, a camcorder, a video game console, and more.  There is also a built-in marketplace where you can go to download new applications to truly personalize and enhance your phone.  There are thousands of applications.  Most apps cost a small fee (starting at $0.99 for many) but there are tons of free apps as well.

A few apps I would recommend are:

  • Astrid : A great task manager
  • Abduction : A great game that you play by tilting the phone back and...

I bought my G1 phone back in January of this year.  I absolutely love it and do not know how I functioned without it.  My boyfriend recently purchased the updated version of it, and I am glad that I got the G1.  It is simple to use, and even I can understand all of its basic functions without pulling out  my hair trying to make a simple phone call.  It gives you online tutorials to help with the things you may not be able to figure out on your own.  And I love the way the screen flips to the side to reveal a full function keyboard.  On my boyfriend's phone, there is no keyboard and trying...

For awhile now, I was trying to figure out why T-Mobile had yet to jump onto the touch screen cell phone bandwagon, but my gut instint told me to just wait it out. Then in August 2008, I learned T-Mobile was releasing the G1 Android phone.

Anyhow, I pre-ordered my phone and received it 10/21/2008. The G1 Google phone was everything I would hope it would be. It had the functionality of a smart phone, the ease of use and full-qwerty board like the Sidekick and best of all, it was a touch screen. My favorite thing about the phone is the Android Market. The G1 is on an open platform and any developer...

Tmobile g1 is the next best thing since labtops. You can do just about everything from the palm of your hand with this phone that you can do on a computer plus more. The g1 has the best applications ever, and the best part is, most of them are free. The pictures and video's are great with the small exception of no flash light. It has a full keyboard. It also have a touchscreen with a keyboard on it. The g1 has lots of memory space. The GPS is alsome, helped me alot of times. The screen flip flop with the turn of the phone. The phone alerts you of all the new updates to whatever application...

The G1 google phone is a wonderful phone to own. It has many features that make your life fun and easy. It is lightweight and has a long battery life.  It has a touchscreen pad or you can slide the phone open and use a keyboard.  It stores lots of mp3's and comes with headphones so you can enjoy music anytime...anywhere.  The G1 has a speakerphone which makes it easy for handsfree moments...like when you're driving!  It also has a wonderful application that allows you to download fun and exciting gadgets and games that you can enjoy on your phone..especially those moments when sitting in a...

I have owned my T-mobile G1 by HTC for months now and it is awesome! I use it on a daily basis and have found that I can use my cell phone to succesfully complete most of the things I would usually do at home in front of the desktop. The internet works seamlessly where a connection is available and I even filled my phone with so many free applications that I ran out of memory! The battery is the only issue that I seem to have had so far. It dies rather rapidly and I am currently awaiting a replacement because it seems to only last an hour at most. And even that process was as easy as 1-2-3. I love...

This is by far the BEST phone I've ever owned, and I've had a LOT of them!  It has all the latest features available on a cell phone, including camera, video, web, IM, texting, MP3, etc...  It is touch screen but also has a tracking ball similar to that on a Blackberry.  The screen opens up to expose a full key board with easy to push keys.  I wear my nails long, so finding a phone that I can text on easily was a challange.  This certainly fulfills my needs.  To add to the bells and whistles, there are a LOT of FREE apps that can be downloaded.  Everything from a Bartenders Bible to games...

This phone for me was the closest thing I could get to the iPhone.  The major plus for me was the keyboard.  I wasn't too crazy about the iPhone having just a touch screen to type.  The free apps are great and add so much to the phone.  The GPS has helped me find my way counless times.  The battery life isn't so great, so I would reccomened investing in a mobile charger for your car.  I have one that doubles as both a home and a car charger and it comes in handy!  The video quality for this phone is amazing!  The camera however, is not so great.  There is no zoom feature, and there is...
