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.

Suzanne says:
I already have a G1 dito sa US but im planning on moving back sa Philippines. Would all the functions of G1 work sa Pinas, i.e…the 3g connection, the apps, and making phone calls?
klaydze says:
Can’t wait to have this phone. Madami nabang nagbebenta ng Google Phone? Kasi sa Rockwell (Power Plant Mall) sa Makati, wala pa daw silang ganitong phone.
Jon says:
::Great phone, trust me..iPhone and this phone, halos pareho din..Iphone daming hidden extra charges…Price of this phone is $500.00 (without a contract or extended contract) But with a contract or extended contract, is $200.00. Im thinking to bring this phone in the P.I. this summer..Simm card lang naman ang papalitan.. :)
Michael Marin says:
The Google phone would be the choice of those people who are price conscious. But of course people in the Philippines especially those who belongs to the “Sosyal” community would definitely choose the iPhone over this one.
omnia&iphoneUser says:
nice phone! how much? nrelease n b s Philippines? tnx
Sherwin says:
actually it depends on ano ang habol nang tao. for media, iphone is the obvious winner. for open source goodness, this will definitely be something to look out for. imagine being able to interconnect each app to one another, this is something na wala talaga si iphone. we would just need to wait for good apps to be made. would definitely love having this phone for my sun. but only because I have an iphone na. :)

@jan

mr nice guy says:
Nice phone.I hope many of us can afford the price. is it very affordable?
phitski says:
good thing in this phone,can read bar code like the books and other things as long they have bar code.they can search the item on it..cool
Bon says:
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. :)
