thats so pointless to have a keyboard on a touch screen phone. it totally defeats the whole point of a touch screen. thats like putting a keyboard on an iphone. you guys can thunbs down me all you want, but you know its true : )
meh, software keyboard is ok but not as easy or fast as typing/texting with a querty keyboard. iphone's for noobs... jailbroken iphones aren't that great either.
Remember this model phone called the HTC TyTn ii / Kaiser / Tilt? You might recall that it frequently scored VERY high for useability and design. You know why this is, right?
Well, just in case... it gave the option of navigation keys, touch screen and touch-flo, a full slide-out keyboard, and the ability to be modified to no ends.
You see, when a person isn't stuck to just one thing, it tends to be a more enjoyable and personal experience.
Dude, no need to apologize! XD I'm actually lookin' into getting an iPhone when I can find one for less than $200 like my E70, Tilt and Epix. It's by no means a bad phone, and you do have a very nice point about the ease and convenience of a touch screen.
All I was saying is the reason for both a touch screen and keyboard.
yea, the G1 got youtube. its built in it. and also has Myspace mobile, its hella tight. and btw, its owns the iphone. i had the iphone, and i sold it, and got the G1. the iphone is gay cuz its onscreen texting. the G1 has onscreen texting, also has the keyboard. Its Google Android Market (built in) is hella better then Apple Store. You can download litteraly anything you want...
Well the G1 operating system makes the phone amazing, without the g1 operating system i see Verizon wireless going nowhere soon. I hear theirs more g1 phones to come, and if other phone companies cannot get the g1 operating system on their phones, than i will be one unhappy camper.
Its called dont be a ignorant faggot,faggot. I will call it w/e the fuck i want, G1 is the first phone to use the operating system, maybe thats why i called it that? Why dont you just stfu and not be a little bitch about every small thing you see.
he was rude. but i would recommend calling it Android for two reasons.
1)It's shorter than typing "The G1 operating system".
2)Because you will run into douche bags like JereHakala.
And there will be future "GPhones". And yes they will all have Android on them. Don't worry.. I'm positive that in the coming months you'l be able to find one on your carrier. :]
Good to know, the best phone company deserves the best phone operating system. Btw i just realized why verizon can pay for these phones and their commercials,just look at the dramatic increase in peoples bills per month.
i'm sort of a novice when it comes to Verizon. I'm not too familiar with them. I do know they have one of the best data networks, and some very positive customer feedback. I'm a T-Mobile user and I've been more than satisfied. Though i really only use my phone for call/text. So it doesn't take much to meet my needs.
Yeah all phone companies will meet your needs, the only thing that sets them apart is the bill. In my opinion, US cellurar gives you more bang for the buck compared to several other phone companies. Just to have at@t unlimited everything on the iphone itll cost you 180 dollers. On the other hand, us cellurar gives you amazing reception,unlimited texting,200 mins, and free calls after 7, and on weekends. Plus great support staff and dec phones. So really any company will meet your needs somehow.
All this comparison of G1 to iPhone is laughable. They're apples and oranges. It's not about touch screens, browsers, and checking your e-mail. It's about Android. The OS is years ahead of iPhone's from an ideological standpoint. Give it a year and Android will crush the uber-proprietary iPhone OS. Google provides you with a killer OS and hands over the code so you can do with the phone what you wish. Apple tells you what you can have and do and tells devs what they can and can't make.
yes it does and the cool thing is to unlock it the is a series of dots and you trace a "secret" pater on those dots to unlock is its really cool and creative
the phone does not actually lock, yes it does touch things all the time. I had it for a month, and took it back, it is way better smart phones out now.
Just to say, the way a website displays is decided by the website (facebook notices the g1 as a phone, thus displaying the mobile version, whereas other websites haven't updated their list of phones). Meaning that the website will also choose whether or not to give you an option to change between them.
Ok, so everyone is taking what I said to far, so I have decided to post a new comment, I have determined that what I had a chance to play with was a pre-release version of the G1. I have a few friends that purchased the phone over the weekend and I played with it a bit. it is a full browser, and the touch screen is fast a responsive, I am just jealous because I miss my iphone, sorry for all the pissy comments, bad week, just reserved the new storm hope its good.
okay..i dont have this phone but ive played with it its nice and the browser is okay. I have the iphone and i love it sooo muuch i really just wanted to see wat this one was like
There are too many different ways to swipe, it could be confusing to a not so technical user. This is why it's not an iPhone killer. The iPod proved it, it's just about features, it's about how "all" the features are implemented.
Case in point, the G1 has copy & paste, but you can only copy by paragraph. You cannot copy a single sentence or group of words. The iPhone doesn't have it, which is annoying, but I'm betting when it does it will be better than that.
played with the phone at TMobil the touch screen sucks and it is almost a direct copy of the iphone still cant get a real web page its still a crappy compressed web (not a full browser) android store wow can you say app store what a rip off and I dont even have an iphone
no matter what your not going to get a "full" browser on a phone, it's a cell phone, and alot of people have "played" with it, including me, and it's a great device. its no rip off.
so at the moment there isnt a full browser right??, becaue no matter whats comming, it hasnt come yet, so you just contradicted yourself. thats like me saying that you can get a flying car, just that the flying part hasnt come yet, so you can get a flying car. the G1's browser is very good. get over it. the iphone finally has some competition.
Then you didn't play with a G1 or you're mighty stupid. I get full web pages everyday. The touchscreen works just fine and the app store if anything is a ripoff of the way you install software on Linux computers. You IPhone fanboys kill me witht his ripoff crap. Learn something about the technology behind it all before you start talking about ripoffs.
I already have shut up, my last post was a week ago. Take a deep breath, correct your spelling, learn my name, and stop caring so much about what I say. Its just the internet. ow and FYI I am 25 and I make $135,000 a year dry your eyes.

everybody is coping the iphone.. what disgrace.. can't come up with their own ideas??? NOp.. I guess not. All competition :.. lets just wait till the iphone engineers finish their new model so we can copy cat every single movement ...HECK lets make another APP store
No, someone other than apple can most certainly come up with a better phone. The difference is the the added Apple-centric features that are only available to Iphone users.
