No, not by us, but Gizmodo has reviewed T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. Their general perception has been of a good open platform that is community-based. This means that the phone is everything the iPhone and Windows Mobile aren't. Here's a summary of what's in the deal:
- The keyboard may not appeal to all.
- The back is classic matted and grip-friendly HTC.
- The five face buttons on the device—call, home, back, power/end and menu are all user friendly.
- Switching between the trackball and the touchscreen can be a bit quirky.
- The touch screen is good enough but there have been instances that the interface has not registered the input.
- A full charge lasts about a day and charging from near empty to near full takes only about two hours.
- Decent browsing speeds via 3G.
- You need to manually switch on the default off GPS.
