The T-Mobile G1's First WeekThe T-Mobile G1--the first Google Android-based phone--launched this week, opening a new phase of smart phone competition. (See our slide show of the launch event.) ChannelWeb's Andrew Hickey has his hands on a G1, and reports both his positive first impressions, as well as his less-positive second impressions: "Over the last 24 hours, I ditched my BlackBerry and put the G1 through the ringer. While I am overall pleased, there are still a few things that would make it much better, and make the G1 a true competitor against touch screen titans the Apple iPhone 3G and the soon-to-be released BlackBerry Storm." At EETimes, Rick Merritt has a video showcasing Android's web browing capabilities. At G4 TV's "Attack of the Show," Forbes' David Ewalt evaluated the G1 with host Kevin Pereira, and looked at upcoming Android phones that will be soon arriving from other vendors. Next on deck in smart phones: the Blackberry Bold, coming November 4. Posted by Joe Caponi at 03:33 PM, October 24, 2008 This is a public forum.
