My free gift from T-mobile UK
This is going to sound odd, but the G1 sucks.. a little.. but then again so did the iphone when it came out. Having a group of talented individuals who know what they want to create is great, however the sad thing is that deadlines get in the way. There is no denying that a lot of things fell by the wayside in the run up to launch. (eg multitouch support ,poor battery life )
They fact that the Android team did as much as they did so quickly is laudable and just shows what building something from the ground up can do.
The G1 is quite an unusual device , like when the iphone was released there was a few things about it that weren’t up to par- no MMS, no forwarding text messages- the G1 has a similar stable of issues. Some of them may never be fixed like the weak battery life and the lack of multitouch. (thanks to Apple potential litigation), but the vast majority will be sorted out. There are a few things which aren’t great about it but we can go into that another time- all I can say is that overwhelmingly its the best phone I have ever had.- More than my blackberry that I am shackled to for work and a lot better than my old windows mobile.
I have been with T-Mobile for years, and have always found them great, by far they have the best customer service, and the most knowledgeable tech support in the UK ( at least of the four main networks). I have had various iterations of varios and nokias from them down the line, which is why I was delighted when the G1 came out on them first.
When the G1 was launched, I stood in line in the rain anxiously waiting to get my mits on it. I was 8th in line to get the G1 when it came out and have been loving my G1 ever since(see the picture of the freebie sweets)
6 months down the line- I have still got my G1 and am looking forward to the new cupcake update (aka Android 1.5) coming out shortly which will hopefully clear out some of the remaining issues
In hindsight its clear that the phone lacks a lot of the polish that the iphone had when it was released however its changing and changing for the better
So here’s to the android platform, I predict market share dominance in 2 years.
