Also, if you use a lot of GPS or web enabled apps, you will have to recharge the phone in the early evening to continue using it, as they slurp up the power quickly. Aftermarket long life batteries are readily available from a variety of sources. I know these things change frequently, but when researching service plans before I bought the G1, I found that T-Mobil's were among the most, if not the most economical, though that may depend somewhat on your particular needs. Free calling to 5 numbers with the $39 MyFaves plan takes care of the bulk of my my calling, and still leaves 300 Anytime minutes to use for other calls. from Amazon.com If you're an average user this phone sucks royally. It needs too much tweaking for it to be awesome. Once you've made all the adjustments to make it cool you've found that you'd be better off spending your money on the HTC Touch pro 2 (Sadly it doesn't have android on it) but don't get the GSM version because it lacks a 3.5 headphone jack like this one unless you don't mind using an extra wire just to hook up your headphones. Also has crappy battery life even with most of the features you may want to use most shut off. from Amazon.com I hope everyone reads my review with an open mind. I am a former iPhone user, turned Blackberry, and now the G1. I have been drooling over the G1 for quite sometime. from Amazon.com now i read some remarks that says it has No camera, thats a shocker ... cuz maybe I have gotten a different one, but both of my units do have cameras. i was considering updating my current Iphone, but decided to go with the G1. i am not going to degrade the Iphone compared to the G1, sure the screen is smaller, and the internal memory is lesser, but the memory can be upgraded or supplimented with microSD cards, and as far as the screen is concerned, the difference is so minimal that it is not even worth mentioning. from Amazon.com This phone actually does a few things better than the iphone. U can use it as a lowjack and track your kid, wife, husband, side piece..... from Amazon.com OK guys...i was in the market for a new phone and having shopped around a while, i decided on the G1. Love the qwerty keyboard. from Amazon.com Over the past two years, I've owned many smartphones - T-Mobile G1, T-Mobile Dash, Blackberry Curve, Blackberry Tour, Nokia N95, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Pro II, and Palm Pre. Of this extensive list, the G1 is my favorite, although it certainly has its issues too. from Amazon.com The T-Mobile G1 is an outstanding phone and handheld computer. Since getting this phone, I've found that I spend very little time using my PC. from Amazon.com I bought this phone four months ago and decided to wait before I gave a high praised and biased review. I am a huge fan of Google and highly anticipated owning the G1, that is until I owned one. The phone itself is great. from Amazon.com As a disclaimer, I'm not a gadget lover; for me they're a necessary evil of modern society. This offering by T-Mobile/HTC/Google has me reconsidering that belief as I'm beginning to see how a well designed gadget can simplify life. The price, the performance and way it ties into how I work already makes it a welcome device. from Amazon.com
