T-Mobile G1 (black)

Pros: - Nice Big Touch Screen
- QWERTY Keyboard
- WiFi
- GPS
- Cheaper Data Plan than AT&T
- Promising Android Market
- Scroll Ball
- Street View in Maps

Cons: - Bad Battery Life (Only if you plan to run the phone like a desktop computer)
- A Bit thicker than other phones
- Creaking noise with screen (Sturdy screen but still squeaky, might be because of the mechanism used to open the phone)

Summary: I've read 100's of reviews about the T-Mobile G1 and 90% of them bashed the G1 phone. I've come to the conclusion that the people writing the reviews are all iphone lovers. Another thing i would like to mention before my review is that pictures make this phone look ugly and huge but it's like a completely different phone in person, it is much smaller than what you may think.

This phone is one of the best phones i've EVER had. The screen is very rich in color and very responsive to touch. I am also glad that the OS doesn't lag like the T-Mobile Wing (Might be due to low RAM and the slow Windows Mobile OS). The keyboard is also a life saver because i have big hands and touch keyboards like the i phone always get the key that i press wrong. The android market place is great also, there are many of apps available for download. The only problem i have with the market place is that there aren't any screen shots for the programs available. The battery life on the phone can be pretty good if you are not using the phone like a PC. the battery lasts a lot longer if you turn off wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps, auto sync option, and dim the screen. You should only turn those on when you really need them. People complain about this but there aren't any phones that last long when you have these on at the same time. The scroll ball is also a good addition because it helps with accuracy when on web pages and places where you may be trying to use the touch screen. Street view on maps is great, i went all the way to my house and it even lets you roam the area too.

People who are unsure about this phone should go to the T-Mobile store and try it out for themselves. I'm satisfied with the phone and the Android OS will only grow with time.
