Now if only the real G1 came in this color - I think I'm getting brown.]]>Oct 4th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
I wouldve thought if I closed an app I opened from the menu and hit BACK, it would take you back to the opened menu. Instead, it closes the menu and leaves you at the Home screen.

Not trying to pick at it, but its an annoying extra step]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
the "random numbers" correspond to the alphabet on a normal phone.

you press a b or c and it dials 2, you press d e or f and it dials 3. so when you are dialing "1-800-sex-4you" you can just type in the word part and it will automatically put in the correct numbers]]>Oct 4th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
If you use the "alt" key to dial the letter, a blackberry will automatically figure out what number it corresponds to. ]]>Oct 5th 2008 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
What is that glorious silver color with a white keyboard??? Has this model been revealed??? Wasn't it Black, brown, and white?

Love it... silver makes it look really elegant.]]>Oct 4th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
The emulator simply doesn't work. (home button, answer button, keyboard keys won't take u to contacts, browser....etc) Why release it so early? It's bad publicity.]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
Took me a while to figure out too]]>Oct 6th 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
Of course I'm talking about the Emulator mode. It's not fully functional, esp the physical buttons functions.]]>Oct 6th 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Honestly, though, Apple could take a cue from this -- what a great way to promote a phone -- it would have made me much more susceptable to buying an iphone]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 5th 2008 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
As to having the dongle on the right - huge f-up in my opinion. When you're using the keyboard, if you have the headphones that come with it or the ExtUSB - 3.5mm adapter, it totally gets in the way and makes it hard to hold the phone and type. I hope AD2P is coming, I love this phone and operating system.]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/This is very interesting, I just don't want all of my data sitting on googles servers.
I hope they come up with a standalone app for win and mac to sync directly to my computer.

Then its very enticing.

And I got stuck when trying to log off from Windows Live...

And that back button frequently stops working for some random reason, and there isn't even a call button on the screen when you are entering numbers...

Alright I know it's just a crappy flash-based lightweight do-nothing-at-all demo emulator, so I'll stop bitching about it. Anyway, there's more Android phones to come, and the real-life performance of G1 is not yet revealed.]]>Oct 4th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/Oct 4th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/emulator-gives-you-the-t-mobile-g1-experience-now/
