[millerjoseph258]

NICE APPS!

[PavedWave92]

is their a facebook app for the g1?

[JerseyGuy1856]

He sayzz Google Funny! Lol.

[meillinzo01]

yes the app are free still some are over's are not .

[LoveandEqualityToAll]

Is there a Myspace app?

[alecjan3]

u suck at pacman

but nice solid review :D

[Paneatix]

does the browsing after u selected savvy cost money ?

[fox199312]

do you have to pay to use the wifi

[ThrowedHead]

Are the apps still free as of today [March 18th 2009]? Please let me know.

[Booth789]

Where do you get the apps?

[asoccer345]

not all of them, it's like the iphone/ipod touch app store, some paid, most free

[aliza83]

I have Maps V3.0 on my G1,but it doesn't show compass mode option. How can I make it appear?

[fugg22]

i love my g1, i bet tha next one that come's out is ganna be even better.

[crimsonwarrior2]

how do u pay for apps now... with a credit card (that the number stays in, when ever u buy something), or does it go on ur tmobile bill

[DazedBugz]

Most of them are free because the G1 is open source

[MeltingHolster]

The barcode thing is if you want to see if another store near you has a better price for it so you don't waste more money.

[iainlovesu]

does it work well? Cause the idea of a barcode scanner is sweet, but does it always read the products correctly etc.?

[DazedBugz]

it's probably doesnt read the actual lines maybe just the numbers? idk

[kc243243]

i know the batteries go out very fast if u use gps, but will go out fast if u only use it for music?

[BFizzi719]

answer me this, with the barcode app, if you already have the product why would you need to locate a site to buy it? cool app but pretty pointless

[ticouser1]

retard..u go to a store and look at the products barcode and scan it. Then you decide if you wanna buy it. Everything at a store has a barcode. Box or tag.

[BFizzi719]

But if you're at the store where they have the product, you don't need to locate a place to buy it.

[bludemon07]

You use it to find the best deal on items you think are overpriced. i use it all the time. the g1 is byfar the best purchase i've made in a while.

[SgtRum]

Thanks MobileBurn for a great review!

Good camera work, sound quality (No blaring music in the wrong places), and info covered. Not like some of the amature vids on Utube.

[SonyAdmire]

[frogforgetable]

I must say this is the worst review I have ever seen for this phone. 04redsox08 is right you are an idiot

[04redsox08]

wow, you dont even know how to use half the stuff on this phone ur an idiot.

[Dragonislander]

How do I find this phone unlocked?

[joeac82]

What do you have to do to be able to watch live tv on this phone?

[stevendeigo]

yes, you have to get the internet plan to have the gps which will be $25 and plus the phone plan will be $30. good luck.

[spinaltapit]

deos it comes with free internet

[spinaltapit]

never mind but do you have to have internet to have the gps

[StartTheShooting]

no, but it can connect to wi-fi

[Aphex636]

Something that I really seem to notice everyone saying, or rather NOT saying, during these iPhone vs. G1 debates is this: The G1 supports Flash, while the iPhone does not. You may think it would with the YouTube app on it but you would be wrong. Also, if you buy an 8gig iPhone that is all the memory you will ever have on it. There is no way to get more space without buying a new unit. G1 uses swappable SD memory.

[edsonandalon]

how much do the apps cost?

[Aphex636]

They're free for now. Rumor is they will start charging in Jan so get them fast.

[frogforgetable]

As of right now the apps are free until they have ben completely debugged there are two apps that cost about 4 dollars or so but thats it or now

[Justin9155]

im suggesting that sidekick users wait because a lot of people don't know that Microsoft bout danger os(operating system)and you know bill gates is looking to blow everyone out of the water with a cell phone

[Mrgamer4]

i think his phones are called smart phones lol...

[AandDdanceStudio]

come see my reviews on the htc fuze awesome phone

[beavers42891]

wow that shop savvy is siiick! my girlfriends gunna buy me this phone i cant wait! i hope itll be a big jump comin from the sidekick 2008

[drakgrotta]

i realy liked this video, it was intresting to see. thx :D

[SV2012touch]

Nice phone, but it needs allot more to compete with the iphone 2g/3g. I would put this in 3rd. #1- iphone #2- blackberry storm #3- G1 #4- HTC fuze and so on and so on...

[lacrosse8011]

can i use my yahoo e-mail account on the e-mail app?

[mobileburn]

As long as you have POP or IMAP access to it, yes.

[0009KIKK]

ill... blackberry storm is way better

[ipodtouch27]

is there like free games

[mobileburn]

Yes, there are a few already.

[ipodtouch27]

alright i might get this phone do you know how much internet will cost for this phone

[bbshot6991]

the phone is 179 with a two year contract, 399 (i think) without a contract and 35 monthly for unlimited internet, texting and minutes

[ipodtouch27]

so i pay 35 for internet and text and minutes are those for calling

[jw111892]

$35 only gets you the data plan (text, internet, im etc) you have to pay seperate for a voice plan

[jw111892]

and just wondering does youtube work if your NOT on wifi

[pkoicetr]

how? you should be connected to the internet...so, the answer is no

[Amerikilla777]

um actually the answer is yes..when you sign up for the data plan you are paying for 3g and edge..if you arent in a 3g area you still can connect to the internet through edge..tard

[DestinStrahan]

yeah it does watch the phonedog review he goes in depth on that

[ipodtouch27]

i already have a t-mobile account and unlimited texting and im and minutes all i want is internet (unlimited) how much will thhat be is in it 6.99 for the T-Mobile Web? isnt that internet?

[Gfresh1620]

no its 35 dollars bro.

[Mickorec]

You see now,the problem with these other phone company is that they are trying to bit the IPhone but doesn't want to look like the IPhone. This phone actually have potential but it look as if someone design it in a real hurry or it's been design by someone with lack of creativity. Until they realize and accept that the way of the IPhone, Instinc,LG dare are the way for future cellphones, they are bound to be making FUGLY disgusting looking brics like this one. THE PHONE ICON HAVE CHANGED!!!

[usernameguy3]

oh please..people dont just crae about what the phone looks like, how bout what it can do.

[darknexg]

a real milestone

[sefrocks]

does it have the pinch thingy like you pinch the screen and it gets bigger does it have it??

[lkikaiderl]

no, it doesn't support multi touch

[bbshot6991]

no it does not have multitouch, if they would have they could of gotten sued by apple for something copyrighted

[Allgamesarefun]

hay dos this come in per paid ?? and how much does it cost

[redhonda92]

im not %100 sure but im pretty sure you can just put ur pre-paid sim card in it and use it that way.

[Allgamesarefun]

so it per paid right cuz im going to buy it does any one know how much does it cost??

[Allgamesarefun]

i dont have a sim card damm

[deviliciousangel235]

omg alex jones!! yay!!! your a believer too :)

[mobileburn]

No, just a random YouTube video. I never heard of the guy before.

[deviliciousangel235]

Well you should believe what he says. Google him.

[sefrocks]

isnt it 180 dollars for a tmobile user??

[ipodtouch27]

its 150

on the internet for me

[bbshot6991]

yes and 35 monthly

[forgotaboutbre]

got mine for 175 with my new plan

[deviliciousangel235]

This phone is hideous i just can't seem to find myself liking it, that's just my opinion though.The interface is hideous as well it looks like linux to me which i hate.

[pdot617]

ye its ugly. But when you are sick of the iphone i think i might just take the chance. Plus ima t mobile customer... Theres certain things i cant do with the iphone that i can do with this phone with no problem....

[donwon06]

mobileburn is a bunch of iphone fanboys

[mobileburn]

You *must* have me confused with somebody else. I am by no means an Apple fanboy. I don't own/use a single Apple product.

[grckm123]

woah!! that could scan baqr codes?!?!?!?! its not very useful for me since im only 11 and getting that phone but that is so cool!

[TRazor88]

wait,, an 11 year old getting that phone??!?

wow. what are you, like in 5th grade??

[grckm123]

yeah, actaully, im in sixth and well, i thiknk its cool so my daddys gonna get it for me. yay!

[blahblahjr]

Your what's called spoiled..

You won't even know what to do with such an advanced device.

[grckm123]

haha!... funny. your calling me stupid?!! well i actually happen to be really smart in my school and your like a year older than me so getting called spoiled stupid little brat from you, doesnt offend me. So shut up. THankyou!

[grckm123]

and btw, you think i am a girl that is spoiled and stupid, but i think ur just a guy who thinks he is SOOOOO good a guitar hero or rock band. Actually you kinda are, but shut up! ugh! i dont even care.. ur the one who is critisizing me when you dont even know me!! PATHETIC!!

[blahblahjr]

Hey, sorry. My brother was logged into this account when using it.

Bit of an asshat on his part, I apologize.

[grckm123]

sure?! bit confused but w/e? well then yes, he is an a**hole.

[grckm123]

jk.

[deadhand23]

dont you just love parnts lol

[grckm123]

i know right? haha!

[mobileburn]

Not particularly, no. Daily charge if you are doing anything real with it.

[Dawson38]

Oh and in the US you need the 3g data plan which is:

$35/month for unlimited data & messages(text, IM and Email)

$25/month for unlimited date and 400 messages(text, IM and Email)

[mobileburn]

No, you don't, really. You can use the regular $20/mo unlimited data and WiFi plan - I'm using it right now.

[Dawson38]

Well when I bought it online, I had to choose one of those 2 plans. There wasn't any other way to go about buying it.

[mobileburn]

I believe you. I guess they are using it as a way to force people into a messaging package. Though 400 messages for that extra $5 is a good deal by current T-Mobile standards. If you send less than 25 texts per month, though, it's just wasted money.

[Dawson38]

I didn't mind it because I'll eventually be in the 3g area. Hopefully sooner than later of course!

[Dawson38]

Great review, I ordered mine yesterday. Now the wait......

[electricpigtv]

Good video!

[pllb]

It's $179 with a 2 year contract*

[GunskiMod]

That looks awesome. How much does it cost? No one ever puts the price on YouTube =(

[mobileburn]

Because prices change over time and are different in different parts of the world or on different carriers. At launch, it is $179 in the U.S. and free on contract in the UK.

[obrecht72]

179 even if I am new to T-Mobile?
