Pros: capacitive touch screen, good resolution, excellent web browsing,nice querty keyboard,marketplace.custom desktop with widgets and appsCons: no 3.5mm headphone jack must use usb adapter,not very stylish,battery life not the greatest expandable up to 2600 mah if your willing give the phone some thickness stock battery is 1150mahSummary: i have been following the g1 since the rumors first escalated of the device and i must say i,m not mad that i followed this phone. first and foremost the phone is not stylish not the least bit but features this phone have are very good with all the apps,different widgets and the growing android operating system you make this phone your own.It proves there is much more to come in mobile world

Pros: It runs Android. Amazing Capacitive Touch Screen -Best Screen I've used since the iPhones. Android interface is nice and responsive and comes with Android Market for 3rd party programs.Cons: Battery life could be better just make sure to charge it every night. I wish that it had better styling, I'm not big on the plastic but it looks and feels nice and solid in the hand for being mostly plastic.
A problem with Android is that your tied to Google services, which you can port stuff over so it's not that big of a deal it's just a bother.Summary: It's a good phone, but your paying for it with the required data service at $25 a month and $200 initial price tag. I recomment whole heartidly.

Pros: Android! And a keyboard + trackball!Cons: Silly shape & sliding design, wonky USB port.Summary: ANDROID! This is everything good about the iPhone, on a decent handset! Coming from the iPhone to the G1's physical keyboard, I make practically no mistakes while typing. Thanks to the trackball, I don't really need to zoom in on web pages anymore, and for any complaints about it's native browser, you have options! I have personally tried Browser, Opera, and Steel, with Steel being my personal favorite. Flash is compatible and in the works, more than can be said for the iPhone. The apps, while not as numerous, are pretty amazing, with access to more hardware functions than any other phone out yet, making them MUCH more useful.
The only things that bothers me is that the screen, when extended, doesn't hold itself in a straight line, parallel to the top row of keys. With my Libra Moon, I like my lines to have angularity! Like everyone, I also don't understand why there isn't a standard headphone jack, even if it had to be next to the proprietary ExtUSB one. Hopefully other Android phones will utilize other sliding mechanisms (like on the TouchPro2!) and port designs in the future!

Pros: Does everything that the Iphone does.The white is a eye catcher for women. Key board makes it so easy to txt. Apps Market is Free!!!! that means that shazam that is so cool on the Iphone G1 has it for free.. Three screens Count them 3 that you can swip over too. Oh Google street view kicks ass if you stay in a big city.Cons: Battery Life sucks, I mean it really does. I.M sucks it keeps kicking you out.. Cam is slow, and thats about it. if you can live with those it is the best phone since the car Phone!!!Summary: You will love the phone. It does everything, like i mean everything and all Apps are free!!!! if you thinken bout getting the phone get it. Its cheaper then switching to the Iphone and its different.. Has the best touch screen next to the iphone. I love it i have no second thoughts about it.

"Elephant," Todd said.
He said it because a laborer was staring at it intently. Which meant he wasn't working.
"That's right," the man said. "I couldn't remember the word."
He was the only other human at the loading dock this morning. The man didn't have a name, just a number, like the rest of the robots. Paris, at Night.
I'll write a review of the phone within the coming days.
