First T-Mobile G1 user review

Androidcommunity have posted their review of the new T-Mobile G1 review. Here are the pros and cons of the device.



PRO’s:
◦The device is fairly quick to startup compared to other HTC devices.
◦It is very light considering what’s inside.
◦The slide out keyboard works well and doesn’t have a flimsy feel to it.
◦The Android Market works just as well as the iPhone’s App Store.
◦There are already a lot of useful apps to download from the Android Market, including a free ringtone maker.
◦The earpiece is fairly clear when making and receiving calls, you hear absolutely no static.
◦The speaker is relatively loud compared to other HTC devices.

CON’s:
◦The G1 has a big memory leak somewhere, and has to be restarted in order to get it running smoothly again.
◦The battery charger makes the bottom of the phone extremely hot.
◦No virtual QWERTY keyboard included.
◦The phone doesn’t run as smoothly as you would think, programs sometimes stutter trying to start up.
◦There is no folder system like that found on other HTC devices: finding your files requires you to search around in one of the various programs associated with the file type you’re trying to view.
◦Video playback is very limited. The G1 would not play .mpg or .wmv files which are pretty much the standard when it comes to videos downloaded off the net.
