Good, as long as you don't need to use it to talk to anyone

Love the sync with my Google calendar and Gmail. Good texting. Nice Internet browsing. However, if you want to be able to speak with someone, you'll be disappointed. I can rarely complete a conversation in one call. I can hear about 50% of what the person is saying to me, and that's after asking them to repeat several times. I understand about 33% of the voice mails I receive. As others have said, the camera is terrible. It takes FOREVER to capture the picture, and it's often blurry.


The only thing that makes the phone worthwhile is everything except for actual phone use, so if you want to use the phone for talking, find something else. Also, if you are trying to cut costs and want to do without the data capability for a while, can't do it with this phone. You must have the G1 data plan for the phone to work - or so I was told by customer service.





Calendar and Gmail sync
Good texting
Large screen
Recent software upgrade gave video capture ability (haven't used it yet) and the ability to save dialed or received numbers to contacts (why it wasn't created with that makes me wonder if the designers ever actually used a cell phone)
Huge and bad battery life
Lots of butt-dials
While on the phone, if you need to press keys, it takes a few keystrokes to get there
Terrible for phone calls

i was at a toss up between the sidekick, a bb, and the g1. i'm very phone savy, and in about 3 years total i've had 11 cellphones, 90% of them top of the line. i really wasn't sure that i was going to like the g1 from day 1, i've had it for a little over a month now, and i still dont like it. the phone freezes a all the time, the on screen keyboard is way to tiny. you cannot get very many good games at all. and it's just horrible. i should've gone with the sidekick.





-big screen.
-good touch screen.
-comfortable letters
-good camera
-horrible battery life.
-phone freezes
-no good games.
-slow internet.
-trackballs to small.
