Lucky me, today I got a chance to test the new G1 on T-Mobile almost a month before it's release date. The G1, also called the Google Phone, runs Google new Android OS on new HTC hardware and it is the only other phone that has any real star power next to the iPhone.
First impressions:
Ok, let me start by saying the G1 is NOTHING like an iPhone. It does not feel as refined as the iPhone in construction or function. The iPhone is in a whole other league when it comes to fit, finish and polish of both the HW and the feel of the OS.
That said, the G1's OS "Android" is no slouch, and is the smart phone the Nokia N-Series should have been. But Nokia never got it right with the N-Series S60 OS and Nokia will have trash the S60. Android is the final nail in S60's coffin. Cause unlike the S60 or even worse, Windows Mobile, Android simply works and works well. And with it's solid Linux underpinnings it very well should.
But take a second and note my choices for comparison, I can't help compare Android to more traditional smart phone interfaces cause a direct comparison to the iPhone does not seem fitting. Yes, they are close in functionality, but they are miles apart in execution.
here is the run down of my brief time with the final release G1.
