DISQUS

Hi MIR, How is the G1 browser experience?

Ewan · 1 year ago

It's surprisingly refreshing -- and T-Mobile's 3G network is pretty nifty.

How does it compare to the iPhone on O2? This is my first time on O2 and I'm finding their network speed and response times somewhat lacking.

t mobiles 3G (in general) kicks O2 into next week.
O2 3g rarely kicks into 3.5G and mostly drops back to edge on iPhone and N95
and this is in central london

tmobile rocks it on 3.5G almost permantly

Additions? Hell Yeah!.

Though I must say, I'm enjoying Android and I wouldn't trade it in.

Hi Ewan

I’ve had a bit more time to play around with my G1 and I wanted to add some things which are annoying me to your list (although it may just be that I’ve not found a way to solve these issues, so if anyone else has I’d be grateful if you’d let me know):

1 – The camera. It’s okay, but not great. The time between pressing the button and it actually taking a shot is long enough for the subject to get up, make a cup of tea and come back and appear in the shot. However, what annoys me in particular is the fact that there is no zoom on it.

2 – The email function doesn’t have a select tick box (like the ‘full’ Gmail). It means you can’t manage a lot of emails in one go.

3 – The lack of hotkey. There should be one key that can be used to be a hotkey – one button and you’re in. I know everything is easy and accessible on the home screen, but maybe I’m not on the home screen, maybe I don’t want to go back to the homescreen first ... For me it’s for email and I want to be able to go there in one press.

One thing I did want to pick you up on though is the plasticky feel of it – that’s the white one. The black one is much, much better.

Anyway, it’s only version 1. I’m sure it’ll get better. Though wouldn’t it be great if this Foxtrot cartoon predicted it right ... http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2008/ft0811...

Thats odd, I have a G1 and the US versions of the phone are a lot different than the UK.

On my phone, the Market has HUNDREDS of those free apps... And I've got 500+ messages in my inbox and Gmail loads in 3-5 seconds.

But you're right, the battery sucks, i have to lock the screen and turn it off all the time to preserve.

I also have the G1 and played with it for about a week. i found some things that I really hate.
First.. the battery! enough said...
Second.. incoming and outgoing calls goes directly under the favorite tab.. you can't delete it
and third.. it's freaking heavy.

brea · 9 months ago

This list is so true, I've had my G1 since november08'…but for some reason I am just now noticing how much "I HATE MY G1"…I need a blackberry bold!

jacqui · 8 months ago

you cant type a text without opening the keyboard

facebook application isnt displayed properly

quite often the internet is unbelievably slow

it looks like an old mans phone

the nipple that moves apparentely like a mouse is already wearing out even though mine is only 3 months old

its looks much uglier than its competitors

im stuck in an 18 month contract and the charge for getting out is to pay the remaining months

but swindle !!!

jacqui · 8 months ago
