T-Mobile G1 Android Phone in the Flesh

Managed to “borrow” one of the recently released T-Mobile G1 (a.k.a. Google Android Phone) and cooking up a full review. For the meantime, let me share some photos.

The Google Phone is one of the oddest phone I’ve ever seen in terms of design and form factor. Even the mechanism for flipping out the keyboard is a bit unconventional.

Took several shots of the phone together with the Nokia E71, iPhone 3G and Xperia X1 for some visual comparison. The G1 is indeed huge and bulky.

Will be done with my review before the week ends so watch out for it.

If the firmware hasn’t been upgraded yet, try entering the text “reboot” anywhere in the G1 and press enter – it should reboot the phone. Weirdest bug I ever heard of in a shipping unit – they forgot to switch off some of the debug code in the OS apparently. :)
