T-Mobile G1 Google Android-based smartphone Review- page4

2008-11-23T14:22:00.000-08:00

Long eagerly awaited, the Google Android smartphone from T-Mobile is on the shelves, but what's it really like. Our review by Alun Taylor at http://www.reghardware.co.uk tells us what it's really like. The iphone wannabe is available in the UK, but what will it evolve into, as it's Google technology has allowed developers to create different apps, literally at will.

Okay, this is page four of the review:

Cont'd..

That said, Android is still missing a few tricks, most obviously the lack of a virtual keyboard or keypad. Entering text means tipping the G1 over and opening up the keyboard. Not a big issue for long emails, but a pain if you just want to reply to an SMS with a simple 'OK'. For some reason, the inevitable accelerometer refused to automatically swap JPEG images from portrait to landscape, forcing us to open a menu and flip them manually.

The G1 supports MP3, AAC, WMA and Ogg audio files. Playing video will depend on some bright spark writing a video player – two have already appeared in the Android Market Place, but neither is really up to much. But there's nothing pre-installed.
T-Mobile Android G1

The slightly raised buttons are the right size for fast text entry

The Market Place is the beauty of Android. At some point, a bright spark will write the Android equivalent of VLC, at which point the G1 will instantly become a truly excellent media player. After all, the key part of the equation - a nice hi-res screen – is already in place. Loading content onto the G1 is straightforward using USB mass storage or MTP, though you have to live without any sort of DRM support.

The G1's ability to display Google hosted information and applications – calenders, documents, contacts, spreadsheets, maps and so on – is unsurprisingly good. If you run your life off the Google Cloud then the G1 is a self-recommending purchase. As soon as we typed in our gmail account, all our stuff was just there: documents, contacts... the whole enchilada.

And the ability to show Google content is really just an aspect of the G1's excellent web browsing capabilities. Page scaling is fast and faultless, while the zoom in/out feature – accomplished using a transparent touchpad at the bottom of the screen – may be different from the iPhone's pinch-and-pull, but it's no less effective. If we had to find fault, it would be that to go back a page you have to tap the menu button, then tap More... in the contextual menu to see the Back command. It should really be one of the commands in the contextual menu.

To be continued.

Thanks for checking out this review of iPhone look a likes.

T-Mobile G1 Google Android-based smartphone - Page 3

2008-11-23T13:54:00.001-08:00

Okay, I hope you've been following this review of the Google Android Smart Phone written by Alun Taylor. As I have stated, this is a phone which is competing with the iPhone and I'm calling it one of the "iPhone Look a likes".

Let's continue with the review.

Cont'd..

The most eagerly anticipated feature of the G1 is the Android OS and touchscreen UI. As Apple is really the only mobile phone maker to have truly cracked the touchscreen nut to date, a lot of folk are looking to Android to provide a real alternative.

The basic UI is blindingly simple. The Android “desktop” is actually three times the width of the screen – just swipe your finger left or right to access the two areas not in view – so from the off you have a lot of space to play with. In any area, you can tap the little grey tab at the bottom and a 4 x 4 scrollable menu springs up with all the application icons in it.

The UI is quick and responsive, but missing a few tricks

To open an application, either tap it in the menu or hold it down to move it to the desktop then tap it there. Shortcuts for individual contacts and web pages can be similarly placed on the desktop, as can widget applets.

Within five minutes of switching on our G1, we had the central panel of the desktop populated with the applications we wanted to use regularly along with the big clock. We then pinned the Google search bar, a few web links and some less oft-used apps on the right-hand panel, and our 12 most-contacted contacts on the left. Wholly simple, wholly customisable, wholly brilliant.

The fact the supplied wallpapers extend across all three panels makes it look nice too. Alerts and system messages show up in the top status bar – simply drag them down for a detailed look at what's afoot.

If the touchscreen UI was slow and unresponsive this would all count for nothing, but it's far from it. It is every bit as slick, quick and fluid as the iPhone's UI and puts the likes of HTC's Windows Mobile-based TouchFlo 3D right in the shade.

To Be Continued..

2008-11-22T13:11:00.000-08:00

I said I was doing a feature on iPhone look a likes and here's the second part.

Okay, here is the second part to this amazing review by Alun Taylor

Cont'd:

Turn the G1 on its side and push the display upwards, and the screen performs a curious out-and-back arc slide to reveal a five-line Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard feels solid and secure – for some reason after seeing the early pictures of the G1, we expected it to feel loose and wobbly – and the sliding action is both well weighted and well damped.

The keyboard itself is rather fine - the separate, slightly raised rubber buttons being just about the right size and having just about the right amount of resistance. It's also very subtly backlit.

The Qwerty keyboard feels solid and secure

With the screen raised, the G1 looks a little odd, but truth be told it sits in the hands very nicely, allowing your right thumb to access the main controls while still being able to reach over and assist the left thumb with typing duties when required.

The G1's screen may be a little smaller than the iPhone's but it benefits from having the same resolution stretched over a smaller area and is every bit as clear, bright and crisp.

Phone cameras have never been an HTC strength, and the 3.2-megapixel job in the G1 won't change that. There's no flash and no video recording capability. It's still better than the camera in the iPhone, but that's not saying much. The screen mount has a habit of moving when you take pictures making it a hard to get a solid grip on the device unless held exactly right.

Signal reception with the Wi-Fi radio proved to be very good indeed as did the speed of the GPS receiver - all the more surprising as the system doesn't appear to be assisted, if the spec sheet is anything to go by. GSM reception was also well up to par, the G1 usually showing the same strength of signal as the HTC Touch Dual we held alongside it. Call volume and clarity were also fine, while the phone proved comfortable to hold against the head and in the hand. The little kink at the bottom of the handset doesn't actually makes any difference.

Thank you Alun, there is more to come.

T-Mobile G1 Black Is Here - "Google Android"

2008-11-22T12:06:00.000-08:00

T-Mobile G1 Google Android-based smartphone - Page One

By By Alun Taylor

Here's another iPhone look a like, wannabe.

It's a phone that has been long waited for, and it is finally here! The Google Android! Is it as good as an iPhone. Will it be as popular? The word is that the technology behind this offering from T-Mobile is Google's, and it's technology that will allow developers to create apps that will transform this phone. Pretty much like you can do with an iphone now.

Here's a Review from RegHardware

Apart those with either a technical or professional interest, it's open to question how many mobile phone purchasers weigh up the matter of a device's operating system before handing over their cash.

Looks, camera resolution, cost, yes. OS? Probably not. Notwithstanding the fact that you'd need to have spent the last year either under a rock or on another planet not to know that the big thing about the new HTC-made T-Mobile G1 is the new open source Android operating system from Google. But before we get too wrapped up in matters Android, let's take a look at the host handset.

T-Mobile's G1: HTC's handset is wholly unremarkable

The G1 looked distinctly underwhelming when the first shots of the white version appeared. Thankfully, our review handset turned up in matte black and looks a whole lot better for it, though it still won't win any beauty contests.

The basic specification is solid enough. You get 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge, 7.2Mb/s HSDPA 3G, a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a 3.2in, 320 x 480 screen.

Internal memory is a paltry 192MB, but the G1 comes with a Micro SDHC slot – and a 1GB card in our case – so storage and future expansion isn't an issue. It's one of HTC's better habits that memory cards can usually be swapped without removing batteries and back cases, and this is true of the G1, though you do have to slide the keyboard up to open the slot cover.

The size and weight of the G1 are nothing remarkable: 117 x 55.7 x 17.1mm and 158g. The controls on the slightly angled lower part of the device consist of a menu key below which sits a very Blackberry Pearl-esque trackball which, in turn, is flanked to the left by call answer and Home keys and to the right by Back and call end keys. The volume control is on the left side of the device; the camera key is on the right. At the bottom, you'll find a reset hole – which we never had to resort to – and a covered mini USB port.

The T-Mobile G1 (or Google Phone) brings you everything you love about the Internet in a mobile phone. With a 3.2 inch touchscreen and trackball, it's made for browsing the web. Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Calendar and much more are just a touch away. With GPS you can use Google Maps to shows detailed street, traffic and satellite views. It has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video record. The G1 is the first phone to run on the Android platform, which is an open source operating system. This means there are plenty of third party applications to download and install on the phone. Other features include HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS.

That's all for now. I will post the rest of Alun Taylor's report soon.

iPhone Look A Likes!

I'm a fan of the iphone technology. I think it's amazing the way that it has taken the mobile phone industry by storm, no pun intended. It's such an innovative phone, that it's no wonder that there are a few copy cats coming into the market place.

You'll have noticed a few posts of mine related to the Blackberry Storm for example. Well, there are plenty more like the Storm and I'll being showing as many as I possibly can.

So watch this space cus there will be a few more coming up.

Did You Know This About The iPhone?

2008-11-22T10:39:00.000-08:00

Apple's iPhone was introduced at MacWorld in January 2007 and officially went on sale June 29, 2007, selling 700,000 units within 2 days of launch. The phone (as well as its newer self, the [iPhone 3G](http://www.crunchbase.com/product/iphone-3g) has been hailed as revolutionary with its bundle of advanced mobile web browsing, music and video playback, and touch screen controls. The iPhone is exclusively carried on AT&T Wireless' network in the US.

While the phone has been hailed critically, even being named as Time Magazine's Invention of the Year, the product has gone through rocky times as well. In September 2007 the price was cut $200 to $399.99, which prompted outrage amongst early adopters and caused Steve Jobs to issue an open apology and offer existing iPhone customers a $100 credit with Apple. There also have been issues with programs that enabled owners to unlock the iPhone and use it on other wireless carriers (subsequent software updates from Apple made unlocked phones unusable) as well as legal actions in European countries over the exclusive carrier agreements (Vodafone's lawsuit over the exclusive carrier arrangement between Apple and T-Mobile in Germany was thrown out of court).

Despite any bad press and consumer reactions, the iPhone continues to be a hot product, and with a [3G version of the iPhone](http://www.crunchbase.com/product/iphone-3g) released in Summer 2008, Apple continues to march towards Steve Jobs' goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008.

Review: BlackBerry Storm -- better for business than the iPhone?

If you're a business user with a yen for an iPhone, you may want to consider the BlackBerry Storm. It's got many of the same features with an enterprise slant.
