Google G1 is the first mobile phone that runs on Google’s Android open source mobile operating system. Developed by HTC, the maker of the popular HTC Touch phones (such as HTC Touch HD), the Google G1 represents Google’s first try to penetrate mobile phone industry. The G1 phone is equipped with a big touchscreen, just like iPhone, but doesn’t have multi-touch technology that iPhone has. The phone is integrated tightly with Google’s web services, including GMail, Google Search, Google Docs, and Google Maps. Unlike iPhone, the Google G1 has a full QWERTY keyboard that user could slide in and out. Although the G1 phone supports slower data network connectivity, it is optimized for high-speed 3G network.

I have an iPhone and im pretty satisfied with it, but since I have T-Mobile I would rather have the G1, Honestly!! its like a Nokia N96 on the cheap ;)....it still lacks the iPhone-like music features and Graphic-User-Interface...but o well...buy a damn iPod Touch for that ;)

NO TV OUTPUT??

No TV output?? My iPhone has TV output, and I use it with my Sony HDTV to watch video clips on the big screen. That's disappointing.

I think I'll wait for the Google G2.

This phone is not that good!! They miss out a lot of features, such like: Front camera for 3G, FM Radio, Low resolution Camera,TV output, etc...

Just wonder, does it support majority video playback format, like Dvix, WMV, RM, RMVB, AVI, MPEG,etc.

And Wonder, can the phone browser support all facebook's games..

Ha. Seem like this phone is not right for me now, will wait for G2...

Simply amazing

The internet is beautiful, and everything on the phone flows with ease. The android market is so cool and It will only get better. Hands down phone of the future well worth the price buy this phone.
