Is The T-Mobile G1 Any Good?

By Jessica Kelly

The T-Mobile G1 was the first phone to run on the Android operating system. The G1 has a large 3.2 inch screen and a full QWERTY keypad which slides out from the side. The main idea behind this launch was to bring out an Android phone in the market which focuses more on the operating system than the other features on the phone.

The T-Mobile G1 is bigger than what we expected with physical dimensions 117 x 55.7 x 17.1 mm and weighing 158 grams. The device has a unique design with a tilted chin and a different side slide mechanism. Below the screen we have 4 buttons and one trackball for navigation purpose. Talking about the display, its 3.2 inch capacitive touch screen is capable of producing sharp contrast and descent brightness levels. The display stands well in all light conditions ranging from bright sunlight to moonless dark.

T-Mobile G1 has a very interactive and innovative user interface. One of the best parts of this Android OS is that it runs all applications together and even after ending an application it returns back to same position where it left. This is just one feature, there are many other features that you will explore when you use it and feel it yourself.

The T-Mobile G1 comes packed with a descent 3 MP camera which has the capability of producing good quality images with lesser noise levels. But one major drawback of the camera is that it does not support video recording. The web browsing experience on T-Mobile is delightful. You can quickly surf through the pages with its clean interface but it lacks flash support. The phone has all connectivity essentials including HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB version 2.0.

To sum up T-Mobile G1 is one descent Android OS based handset which has lesser features as compared to other smart phones but still stands tall on performance parameter. This is a phone which is still worth your attention.
