Hands-on impressions: T-Mobile's G1, the first Google phone

[DSM4Life]

I have no problem texting with the iPhone and I text a lot. If you miss spell your word because of hitting the wrong key it fixes most words automatically. Much better for texting than the Treo I had.

There is no way in hell you can type half the speed i type with a QWERTY keypad.

There is no way in hell you can type half the speed i type with a QWERTY keypad.

I can type 4 million words per minute on it. You can type 8? You're fast!

It took some getting used to but I can type faster on than I did with my Treo 650.

The buttons on the tero are horrible as well. They are way to small and close.

This is what i have and so far loving it.

Im waiting for the Touch Pro by the same company, HTC. Iphone has nothing on this thing. Think I read it supports up to a 16gb micro sd card.

Man I wish Sprint had cool phones like this.....we get all of the shitty phones.

So, a crappy iPhone that can't integrate properly with any enterprise email clients or this new crappy t-mobile device with an open source OS is superior to WinMo?

Seriously, WinMo is FAR superior in actual functionality. The next version (if it ever gets out the door) will make both of those dogs look even worse.

You may be right, I am just a bit biased, as I hate microsoft with a passion.

this phone has been out for over a year in Europe. so you might as well wait another year or so for it to hit the US that is if it ever does. Most phones never hit the US market. Sadly but true.

yes, i know. its improved version is the one i mentioned and is available at sprintpcs on oct 19. the good thing about being released somewhere else first is we get the improved version of things. so any mistakes are generally rectified once we get it.

True that but it will still be on windows OS so you will still spend more time rebooting the phone than actually using it... that sucks that windows cant seem to fix the bugs that causes the OS to freeze.
