T-Mobiles G1 has a truly open source operating system - Google's Android. This was a big step, not only for Google, but for T-Mobile as well. The combination of Smartphone technologies and open source OS, gives consumers full control over their experience with the G1. With the G1 consumers can truly work and / or play from anywhere!
Let's touch on some standard features first. The touch-sensitive display, 3.2-inches with 320 x 480-pixel resolution, nearly takes up the entire front face of the phone. Directly below the display, you will find your standard functional buttons like home, back, call, and end. Additionally, you will find a trackball - similar to those on Blackberry phones - that gives you another form of navigation.
The G1 comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, which smoothly slides out from under the display. Having a full keyboard makes typing documents, email messages, texts, etc much simpler for consumers.
With a Google developed operating system, it is not surprise that many of the default applications are Google, like Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, Google Maps, and even Google Chrome (web browser). Providing you are a Google fanatic, and already have accounts, this will not be a problem for you. Regardless, there are many other standard applications available, include some that your piers have developed.
The one thing that put the G1 above the rest is the operating system - Googles Android. This OS was created so that consumers lives would be simpler, to give them a chance to create their own applications and share them with the world. Whoever is operating on Android now has the ability to create applications, and share them with anyone through Android Market.
The G1 one also has not only Wi-Fi connectivity, but also 3G. The combination of the two networks is what provides consumers with that "always-connected" experience. The two work tightly together, when one is unavailable, the other automatically connects - and vice-versa. This process is invisible to the user; all they know is that they are always connected, with decent connection speeds.
T-Mobiles G1 has many other features such as one-touch Google search, web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The camera is a great feature on a geeked out phone. However, it does not function up to par. Due to the blurriness of pictures, and difficulty in capturing pictures, it would make more sense to carry another camera with you - until they can fix the issues with this one at least.
The battery life, on the G1, is nowhere in comparison with other Smartphones. The average lifespan, on a fully charged battery, appears to be around a couple hours. It is rumored that this issue will be fixed, but until then, it would behoove you to purchase a car charger. There are other minor features missing, from the phone, like stereo Bluetooth, video recording, and an on-screen keyboard. If these features are prudent to you, the G1 may not be the answer to your dreams.
The G1 offers many features and applications, along with an open source operating system like no other. Surprisingly, for such new technologies, the price tag is low at $179.99 (with a new or extended contract with T-Mobile). While the phone has a few minor flaws, and missing features, it does provide consumers with a completely new experience in cell phones.
