T-Mobile G1 series

T-Mobile G1 (black) Reviewed on 10/15/2008

The Bottom Line: While we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.

Release Date: 10/22/2008

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 406 min, 5.6 oz
