Right now my only real hope for this phone is that Android will be vastly superior to WinMo. Of course that doesn't help this phone more than anything else that'll run Android. And I'm not sure how much better an open source OS will be anyway. As we've seen from the Sprint version of the Touch Pro, WinMo isn't much of a handicap if you've got a solid rom, custom UI, and plenty of processing power. I
also think Google is overrated and a lot of the hype for this phone is due to that. Most of their products really haven't been that great. They're all solid, but what besides their search engine has really been an incredible success? Gmail is great, so is Maps, but neither really blows away the competition. So why does everyone think Android will revolutionize the way we use phones? Most of the touted advantages aren't actually unique to Android.

Also, no stereo bluetooth? Pathetic. ]]>Sep 23rd 2008 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/
You've got to be kidding me. "Touchflo"? That's just a slick-looking graphics layer on top of same-old windows mobile. It doesn't actually improve the usability and intuitiveness of the interface or the applications. Even basic tasks on Windows Mobile like Emailing, Texting, Web Browsing, Media playing are a total joke compared to decent software like the iPhone or Android. Android will no doubt have some rough edges for the first few revisions, but I can guarantee that it will be much better than WinMo even out of the gate.

The real problem with this is that TMobile hardly even has a 3G network! Is it even up and running ANYWHERE in the country? and What cities will have 3G for the launch? For all the bitching, moaning, and even ridiculous lawsuits regarding AT&T's 3G coverage with the iPhone, I can only imagine what people will think with this!

As for web browsing I'll take Skyfire or Opera 9.5 over Safari any day. ]]>Sep 23rd 2008 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/
Stereo Bluetooth wasn't added due to the developers, which made a reasonable decision. They couldn't write the code for A2DP in time, so they didn't release their half-finished code.

"The Android Bluetooth API was pretty far along, but needs some clean-up before we can commit to it for the SDK. Keep in mind that putting it in the 1.0 SDK would have locked us into that API for years to come."

Google Talk wasn't included because it needed to be fixed up for security concerns.

So basically its like you are using windows 3.11 on top of DOS? Makes plenty of sense. The software is bloated as it it, and you have compounded it to make is usable. Congrats!

The main difference is on the operational system. I wonder what this cellphone is gonna have in 3 months being Android an open-source OS.

I just think that Google should try to impress a little more on their debut. It shows how powerful the company is though. 1,5 million sold in a pre-sale is quite impressive. If Google did the Woot's box of crap they would solve our economy problems ;)

I don't think he was referring to the "Phone" itself, but rather the "Touch Screen". You see, while both the Instinct and Dare have very cool and solid features, the "touch screens" on them ...suck.

No, it really doesn't. I used it for about a week before I finally gave up. The final straw was waiting to speak to a Dell representative online, only to have Chrome fail at properly loading the simple chat window when it was my turn in "line." Screw Chrome. Everyone needs to stop pushing it like it's more than what it really is: a subpar first effort. And a pretty ugly one at that.]]>Sep 22nd 2008 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/

That doesn't suck? Or even Firefox 3's beta back a while ago, that was also good? Chrome is worse than both. Much worse.

is becuz it built off from webkit apple crap safari sucks y would chrome be any better


the point being this guy right chrome had way to may issues being beta

and no Firefox nor did ie8 have as many issues when it was in beta make a note of that cuz that what this guys was saying he was comparing the beta version of firefox and ie8 to chrome

chrome felt like it more still in the alpha stage then beta


and to prove a point i am actually using Firefox new beta as my default browser r all u going to to ditch your current browser for chrome maybe 1 or 2 of r dumb enough but i doubt u all r

i don't even have Firefox 3 installed as a backup any more ]]>Sep 23rd 2008 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/22/meet-the-t-mobile-g1/
