What is it:
First smart phone running Google's Android
We like:
Android interface; responsive touchscreen; HSDPA (3.5G); wi-fi; Qwerty keypad
We don't like:
Could look better; lack of 3.5mm headphone jack; lack of video recording; lack of stereo Bluetooth
The judgement:
While we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smart phones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users
