  • fuck phone

  • 1 reason why old people cant do reviews

  • @justinmaster1 and your mom cant do reviews too?

  • horrible review and it is MicroSD not mini ^^.

  • google designed android, not this phone awefull review

  • im so getting one tis week!

  • God damn this was a terrible review.

  • "This phone has wifi which makes it fast..." seriously?! Senior Tech Correspondent?!

  • I just got the G1 and I like it a lot, even more than my old 2g iphone

  • for real man... i just got the phone 2 days ago after being a long time sony ericson owner and this phone rules and bypasses the iphone with out a second thought, and u can turn the phone and it'll turn horizontal or vertical depending on how u turn it, i mean most of the apps run on that sensor smart one.... and besides, the G1 can do just about EVERYTHING the Iphone does AND MORE

    Equation:

    G1 + Iphone = G1 Owns ^.^

  • rofl your just saying that because you got the G1.

    You never owned the ipod touch or Iphone before.

  • i wouldnt change my g1 for an iphone, it took apple 3 phones to make it do all the g1 does. now apple just added copy and paste, video recorder and a landscape mode onscreen keyboard,, ha than people go buying a 3gs getting fuckedd by apple, just with a little more memmory, than the old gen iphone gets the updates 2 lol

  • Its not a little more. Its 2x more.

    And faster processor. Which means its much faster

  • After the lastest update you can use an on screen keyboard, both tilted and vertical, and it has the option to turn on and off to turn the screen when you want it vertical or horizontal without opening the keyboard

  • Google phone!! Hahahah

    Its Called A Fucking G1!!! Get it Rite!! :P

  • Comment removed

  • HAHAHAHA U got pwned

  • Haha No, I Mean Only FOBS Say Google phone

  • You mean the word you just said? FrOoB!

  • this guy is retarded there is an accelerometer on is and the iphone sucks balls i am an g1 owner and my bro has a iphone and g1 is wayy better

  • there is an accelerometer.... u just have to activate it. learn more about the phone before you make a video about it.

  • for a chance to win this phone go to sixreasons.blogspot dott com

  • i think the appearance of the googlephone is just a bit clumsy. It's design doesn't look like it will last. And the movable parts may easily break. In terms of functions, pretty cool.

    But the appearance just looks too "safe" or old in my opinion. The layout of things look like a windows vista, but weirder.

  • wow just rate this guy one star G1 kills i phone

  • i don't understand what is the android

  • the new cupcake upgrade turns just like the iphone

  • my g1 auto rotates just like an iphone.

    i have multi finger touch capabilities.

    i have free apps.

    granted, if you want to be super trendy and cool, you have to get an iphone.

  • The G1 kicks your big fat ass you dumb bitch Fuck the Iphone this also costs like 10000000 dollars less each month than the iphone

  • well seeing that 8GB sd cards cost only 15$, and will only go down, does not seam like much of a bad thing, seeing that the phone and service are much cheaper that the iphone, also with the iphone your stuck with 16 or 8GBof memory. SD cards are only getting bigger and more affordable, so I can upgrade my G1 memory to 32GB right now, instead of having to buy a new phone...

  • iphones way better

  • riiiight.

    Have fun copying and pasting things on your iphone.

    Or, did you want to send an SMS picture message?

    Oh wait... you can't!

    Also, have fun buying 90% of the apps on iphone. whereas on the g1 90% of them for free.

  • shut the hell up just wait for iphone os 3.0 when u can get mms and copy and past. jailbreak your iphone and get installious for all paid apps for free. the copy and past works well im a developer with iphone os beta 3 its wonderfull way beter than the g1 witch i also have

  • Well you're a developer that can't spell, but I do agree that the iPhone OS 3.0 will be great.

  • yes it will its this stupid prodiction thing that got messed up

  • Exactly Fuck thee iphone!!

  • lol yeah thts right!...nd u can also make the screen turn the way u want it wit out opening..just install...u can get more then half the stuff tht the iphone has on the g1... 2 in 1 baby

  • true but compared with all the other features, i dont miss the picture messaging AT ALL. and there are alot of good apps, many of which the g1 cant even use because of its inferior touch screen(ie, dance revolution which requires using multple fingers on the touch screen where as the g1 can only support one finger and is more choppy)

  • The only reason that the g1 doesn't have a multi-touch screen is because Apple Insinuated a lawsuit against HTC when they were discussing that. same with the 3.5mm Jack.

  • How is iphone better??? Can you elaborate why the iphone is better?? You can easily replace the battery in the G1 if the battery starts to loose it's charging power and you can also easily upgrade the memory capacity without having to buy a whole new phone!!

  • yea you can easily replace the battery but its still not as great as the battery life on the iphone...also yes you can upgrade memory but by the time you spent the money replacing the battery and upgrading memory you have spent much more than the iphone AND you are still left with an inferior phone.

  • The review here is sub par, in that the reviewer said some things that aren't true or gave some opinions that are debatable. One thing though is that the video is from Oct 2008, so I can see why there were some mistakes.

    The iPhone is an ok phone.. and I know this, I've owned it twice. But believe me when I say that its a very expensive phone, especially up in Canada where the iPhone provider, Rogers doesn't offer an unlimited plan. Something that an iPhone owner MUST have.

  • saw a vid some guy made it so his phone has multi-touch and will turn landscape based on the orientation of the phone..

    its possible because it has the internal compass. just not out of the box. gota wait for 3rd party to make it nice

  • Its kind of silly to compare it to the two, when they are not meant to do the same job. The G1 is geared at computer enthusiasts and IT professionals,while the iPhone is aimed more toward pop culture and selling music.

  • Too many Apple fan boys on here. The iphone couldnt send MMS or do video. And there are HUNDREDS of apps dennylive ! G1 is MUCH better, I can use my google account along with google maps and youtube (again google) seamlessly. Battery life is the same as the Iphone (very poor when surfing) but I just got a extended battery and I can use my phone for DAYS also you can add memory (unlike the iphone) and i dont have to use the VERY LAME itunes. They forgot to mention the compass which is very cool.

  • teh.. i might get the G1 now thx

  • well heres something that he didnt say. get free apps whenever, and get the app called TextFree Unlimited for $6 one time fee for unlimited texting to all usa mobile phones

  • G1 only takes videos if you dowload and app. Lame...

  • DUH sounds like the iphone to me..

  • that review was horrible.

  • fuk this guy sux

  • this is so biased

  • Lol memory.. add the the chip for 40 for a 8gb chip... SO WHAT?

  • this dude is annoying and he says "much much more" a lot

  • wow that was a horrible review. This guy probably doesnt even know how to spell Review LoL!

  • you have no idea how to review, give up

  • i just bought a g1 its way beter then apple,

    my sis has iphone 3g and g1 is way faster, and a bit cheaper. i pay 20$ for the internet and i want my money worth rofl who wants to wait 5 mins to load a vid on youtube? iphone do that.

  • i hate iphone more after seeing this.

  • all i hear is iphone, i thought he was reviewing the g1

  • this is a biased review

  • Terrible review.

  • @subnixus agreed

  • stupid apple biased review. so the google maps are the only good feature?

    what about the whole phone being open source?

  • hahahah retard get a g1 then reply to comments. the g1 has 3d games and educational apps? you mean like a ruler, scientific caluclator, notepad? cause the g1 has it and best of all its all free.

  • LOL Before opening your mouth engage your brain.....How many free apps on this phone guys???

  • 4900 apps atm. 3500-4000 free apps. keeps growing....

  • it's NOT hard at all to type on this phone, your hand is not bothered at all by the cantilevered lip at the bottom of the device. this guy is a joke. He just loves the iPhone so much that he is failing to see the major disadvantages of the iPhone, people have been complaining about dropped calls, accelerometer fizzles, and overheating iPhones a dime a minute. I think the G1 is far better than the iPhone, not just because I own the G1 in white :)

  • If every phone was like the iphone then it would only be ipones on the market....Dont like other touch screen smartphones get an iphone.

  • Stupid apple dick sucker of a review

  • poor review

  • How retarded is this guy...knocking the phone because when you flip up the screen...it goes horizontal even if your holding it vertical?!? WTF? Uhhh why the hell would I hold it vertical when the keyboard open...DUR is there some new scene where we type with the keyboard vertical? Tool.

  • what an idiot he's acting like if the memory's a huge deal. buy a 16gb SD card for like 25 bucks, buy 2 of them or 3. You can have more memory than the iphone with removable memory, just get card for all your songs, one for all your vids and its even better than the iphone's memory

  • G1 is way better. It can run 3rd party application and in the backrground and has a gps option....The Iphone is sumthing that the g1 is not...garbage...I wouldnt wipe my ass with a Iphone flyer...it sucks that much,. I came from att to tmobile and will never go back

  • hahahha dude your comment is awesome!

  • Why is it that the street do poor reviews? They don't talk about the flexibilty of the G1.Everyone had their own preferences. I've seen better, comparing it to the iPhone doesn't make sense. Very bad, they didn't give a good explaination i've sen better

  • ever1 shut dah fuk up it wuz a great review and both g1 and iphone r awesome

  • shit review >.>

  • JetstreamLAWLZ>>>Where did you get that info about built in 16GB memory?...It comes with a 192MB built in & A micro flash slot for memory upgrade'"...Im a PC but the truth is Apple has it locked down! with the iphone 3G & i will never trade that for a G1 im a gadget freak! i do test all tech gadgets test them out yourself before you buy something you will regret!!!...I have no problem at all with mine! & AT&T has been great i do love my roll over minutes!

  • why the heck would u want the screen to "flip" when u pull out the keyboard?

    Are u gonna type upside down???

  • iphone a phone company now at&t.

  • maybe ppl havent realize that you are comparing a fone to a company that wasnt even know for making fones. why cuz they are not a phone company, apple is not a fone company!!!!. so why in the hell do ppl keep comparing there phones to them. thats just stupid. once again apple is not a fone company.

  • "it doesn't flip like the iphone does"

    well the iphone doesn't flip at all so okkkk.....

    "there are no sensors to flip the screen"

    um no, you are wrong, the g1 has an accelerometer

    are you completely fucking retarded?

  • okay why is evryone saying the iphone is better og the g1 is better. they are different phones for differnt types of people. some love the iphone some love the g1 depends on who you are. no one is the same so pleae stop saying which phone is better keep that to yourself.

  • just got one and i loves it.

  • this guy has no idea what he is talking about. the g1 comes with a standard 16GB memory built in and the 1 gig he is talking about is the free sd card for other stuff . what a dumbass he is so fuckung biased he should shove his head in the manuel and read what the phone has before he decides to review a phone what a dumbass

  • how can you say the iphone is better when the only argument i heard which makes the iphone better is that you can typ faster on it? other then that the android pwns it?

  • i wish mufuckas can stop comparin shit ....the iphone is the iphone and the g1 is the fucking g1... GOD DAMN!!!!

  • dude they both use a webkit based browser you're a mental fuck, haha THE REASON this IS the iphone killer is ANDROID, not the hardware.

  • htc touch hd is a great phone not a "iphone killer" but indeed is a great phone

  • like the man said iphone aint perfect either. ppl keep sayin how much less the otha fones cost vs the iphone. but the otha phone only cum wit 1 gb vs the iphone 8/16 gb. so all in all u still will end up payin more to get more memory. unless u got a hook up.

  • um no it comes out the same dude, g1 is $180, plus a 20 dollar 8gig card. that makes a 8gig iphone and a G1 with 8gig both 200 dollars.......................­....

  • yeah but iphone's data plan costs an ugly $30 a month w/ no texting, G1's data plan costs 20-25$ with texting...

  • he said the best feature like 20 times

  • G1 beat iphone 3g in the webpage loading. G1 is way better

  • Ok, it is obvious the guy who made this video is an Iphone lover. This phone was not made to compete vs the iphone, this is another class of phones from Google. This phones are a great alternative to people who don't like the iphone OS... I am going to buy this phone because you can customize it more than the Iphone.

  • me 2

  • this is probably the worst vid i have ever seen iphone 3g sucks ass compared to the g1 faggot

  • g1box.forummotion. COM

  • hah this guy could possibly be the biggest douchebag on youtube hahah

  • this guy is a reeeetaaaard listen to his voice hes so boring

  • u know it has a barcode scanner!

  • it actually does have sensors...but in order to use it as a regular feature the are a few registry tweaks you need to do

  • download the steal browser on the android market..just rotate the phne the screen rotates...touch a typing area and a virtual qwerty keyboard will come upo

  • oo i ddnt kno about tht i used droidsans_tweak_tools to do it and it works on almost all the apps except for internet

  • oh shit thats tight i gotta check that out thanks :)

  • yea no prob ma dude oo nd it work on the home screen too

  • ya i couldnt i had already updated it to rc30 normal oh well thanks though

  • it does have sensors dude

  • The memory isn't that big of a deal guy. And TrackRootz pretty much sums it up, nicely done.

  • is this what theyve been calling the gphone?

  • This guy has no clue what he is talking about... If you are going to make a review or preview of something you should at least do some research...

    THIS PHONE HAS AN ACCELEROMETER!!! It is capable or turning the screen when you turn the phone. It is just not programmed to do that.

    Second of all, it takes MicroSD cards NOT miniSD. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! And the iPhone is a rare case where the memory is given with the phone. He talks like that is the standard.. This is even removable, swappable.

  • the dude is gay...first of all it has accelerometer!!!!duh it turn in videos and in other programs they prolly will update tht for it to do it with everythin

  • by his voice i can tell this guy is really old so thats why he doesnt know what he's talking about

  • also 'wifi makes it fast' no it doesn't, a data connection doesn't make a computer fast.

  • this is probably the worst review i have ever seen. 'There are no sensors to turn the screen' Yes there are idiot, they just don't need it, why would you want it to tilt anyway.

  • riiigghhtttt......

  • you gaytard its because some people text upside down gaytard

  • omg...

    i really want this phone!!! i'd rather habe it than the iphone!

  • im getting this or the voyager for christmas i like this because it has a keyboard and touchscreen which the iphone doesnt have

  • do you need to purchase a data plan in order to purchase this phone

  • yes

  • yes. 25 extra w/o unlimited texting and 35 extra w/ unlimited texting

  • i give you little slack since you made this vid a little over a month ago, cuz then the g1 didnt have features it has today but look the g1 has all these new features coming out EVERYDAY, thats right just in one month the g1 has increased in many features since its open source, it even has opera mini 4.2 already on it so you have a faster web browser something the iphone will probably never ever have on it i feel sry for you being an apple fan boy cuz youll be stuck with shitty products D:

  • plus the reason it comes with only 1 gb sd card is cuz it makes the phone cheaper and instead of buying a WHOLE NEW PHONE for more memory you can just get a new card which is cheaper, your just an apple user and your dissapointed that the g1 may be better than your iphone.

  • omfg its called g1 not the iphone, if they were trying to be like the iphone, they would have no keyboard no trackball, and just one button, its called a G1 NOT AN IPHONE PPL IF YOU WANT AN IPHONE GO GET ONE dont bash the g1 just cuzz its not like the iphone, since its not an iphone, and 2 it can detect tilting like the iphone if u download an app to do it, theres youtube vids as proof.

  • fuck you it is better but it is not 8 gig because it is cheaper so just go buy a new memory card pussy

  • "Google Phone: Good, Not Great"

    Please rename it to "G1 and iPhone" comparison.

    I understand it's main competition is probably the iPhone, but seriously? Why do you have to make a biased piece of shit review?

  • to be honest, i'm not a business person or someone with a need for an extremely smart phone. i'd say that the g1 android phone is what i'd consider the iphone for the masses.

  • i think this guy was bias ..imo...i dont give a fuck about having 8 gigs ,im not some emo- bitch, so i dont need to listen music in between everything i do, only thing i would use 8gigs is for, is for porn,high gig phones are geared towards teenagers, no adult says hey im gonna go jam out to my phone for awhile on lunch break .....i can see the future now...."hey wanna go to the strip club man,..naaaa, im gonna go jack off and jam out to my phone for a while, but thanks anyway" g1 over g3 anyday

  • i'm asian...and so barcode scanning is a huge thing

    cuz all my friends and I go to cue...well seomwath alot and if you scan you can get those pictures in xDD if you people watch asian dramas then you all understand, they have it on Tokyo Juliet. dont' bother ratting on this account because this is not my actual youtube account, i just don't feel like signing off. I'll get a g1 then wait a few years then g3 or 4 lol xD

  • wow. ive never seen a more mediocre review. You're just another one of apples bitches.

  • i love the G1... everyone is so jealous ... i love the barcode scanning thingy too

  • this is so biased. why is everthing compared to the iphone?

  • is micro not mini.. lets see you type faster with one finger on the iphone... but all in all good enough review.

  • which is better all around sidekick08 or tmobile G1

  • Definitely the G1 phone!

  • The G1. . . G1 did stuff that the sidekick should have done with the sidekick 08... I got rid of my LX for this phone.

  • IPHONE FANBOY!

  • Is the iphone the only phone this dude knows, really dude expand your horizons

  • trackballs! Or users that like REAL QWERTY on there phone because personally I hate Virtual QWERTY. You don't know what your talking about because unlike the iPhone, the G1 is EVEN working on FLASH support which means EVERYTHING [internetwise] will be supported.

  • You can change it to landscape without having to open the keyboard! And I havent gotten the phone yet but I've messed with it at the T-Mobile store but I don't know if it can shoot VID's or not but even if it can't a SOFTWARE update will fix that. The G1 stomps the iPhone and is more capable because of the open source capabilities. The G1 also gives revolution to users that, for say, like

  • Video? I thought this phone didn't do video recording.

  • Very informative. Well done. BTW, I've become a fan of TMo because their rates are less expensive AND tethering is free.

  • 8gb is only 17 bucks on amazon

  • Hey dumbass...the iphone doesn't flip the MENU when you tilt the phone. Way to fuck up. Epic FAIL.

  • lol

  • this guy is an idiot he must live with his mom in a basement. 1st it uses a micro sd card not a mini and 2nd it dosnt have video mode just picture. Both the iphone and g1 are good phones. i have an unlocked iphone for t-mobile and gave it to my dad to replace his wing because the wing sucks. the typing on the g1 is better then the iphone and u have to pay for every app. i had the iphone 3g and thats what i gave to my dad and now i have the g1 and i like it much better.

  • Wait,, this one doesnt do videos either. This guy doesnt know phones. What basement is he working in?

  • It will most likely do video in the future using a 3rd party app. Remember Android is open source and their will be tons of programs coming out.

  • Love this phone. Best phone i've had since my old school Nextel. I've had two blackberry phones and im done with those. Good luck to the storm.

  • so what? you buy a memory chip. I actually think thats better. one mem chip for music, another for porn! XD and he didn't even MENTION the shit typing on the iPhone. Also, AT&T is shit to begin with. he didn't mention the strain and pain you gotta go through to GET the iPhone. and if it breaks, they charge you a fee. if the G1 breaks, there is a guarantee. all this has to be taken into account when buying a smart phone.

  • all you fags who bought iphones to look cool and fit in to make it seem like you gotta a few bucks, sorry guys your phone sucks. the future is G1

  • so true

  • 1 gb hahah lol

  • your an idiot totally stupid think before you talk. dumbass

  • Honestly all these companies are trying to be the iphone but the reason why everyone loves the iphone is because it is the orginal & it has REAL internet and most importantly ITUNES not some crappy mp3 thing the real ipod. which no phone has.

    iphone is the best

    others...pshh suck ass

  • this guy doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about

  • I'm guessing he's only ever had two phones in his life, this being the second

  • Apple is far from having the best smart phone. Iphone just has the neatest design.

  • macs aren't better-pcs are

  • The XPERIA is for higher class people with swag, the G1 is an upcoming phone with a lot of potential, the iPhone is like a lollipop - for kids

  • i phone is gayy and so is g1

    blackberry are the best phones and they are making a touch screen phone which will rape both the g1 and iphone

  • lmao the storm?

    good luck with that one 8==D <-- dick face if your too stupid to figure out XD

    but yeah black berry storm actualy does look pretty cool

    and i phone is for fags who dont really know much

  • ur mom has a dick that she fucks ou up the ass with when u act like a faggot

    this is a phone video its not a about dicks

    if your to stupid to see that, obviously all you can think of are dicks NELSON haha gay name fo ra gay guy

  • you're all iphone haters

  • At&t's network sucks.

    the key bord is much easeyer than an iphone.

    The iphones plans are WAAAAY toooo expensive.

    T-moble is only $60/month

  • another shitty review by some one who cant get there facts right

  • i kno

  • OMG! This video should be removed from the internet entirely "it doesn't flip like the iphone?!" Why should it? Noooooooo one can type faster on a touch screen phone over a qwerty keyboard! WTF?!

  • Too many factual errors.

    -"there are no sensors to turn the screen". The G1 DOES have an accelerometer.

    -"mini SD". Sorry, the G1 takes micro SD. Check your facts! You do this for a living.

    -"video". Sorry again. The G1 does not shoot video.

    Sorry, I usually love your videos but on this one, I do not think you have familiarized yourself enough with the product to review it with authority.

  • g1 is better than iphone
