It’s been a little more than a year since was announced and rumors of a little device called the HTC Dream started to leak onto the Web. We think it’s fair to say that the Dream stirred up as much anticipation and hype as the Iphone, not only because it would be the first smartphone to run Google’s mobile platform but also because of the potential to overtake Apple’s darling. (Hey, like it or not, the iPhone set a new bar for handset design and convergence, and serves as a sort of benchmark for touch-screen smartphones these days.)
On September 23, the world was to the HTC Dream, now known as the T-Mobile G1, and the initial reaction ranged from “That’s it?” to “I have to have it!” Unfortunately, we fell more into the “That’s it?” camp. From the outset, the G1 offered more functionality than the and even the current (before iPhone OS 3.0), including copy and paste, multimedia messaging, a better camera, and Google Street View. It also delivers good call quality and snappy performance. T-Mobile’s recent roll out of the Android 1.5 Cupcake update also fixes the issue of previously missing features, including video recording, stereo Bluetooth support, and a soft keyboard. However, there are still some omissions, such native Microsoft Exchange support, and nagging design quirks that left us cold.
Despite these complaints, we did come away impressed with the Google Android operating system. There’s huge potential for the G1 (and any Android devices after it) to become powerful minicomputers as developers create more applications for the open platform. Right now, there are only about 35 apps in the store, so we feel the G1 is a bit limited. Obviously, there’s enough curiosity about Google Android to attract buyers; and in fact, preorders for the G1 have already sold out However, it doesn’t quite offer the mass appeal and ease of use of an iPhone, so the G1 isn’t a good fit for anyone making the jump from a regular cell phone to their first smartphone. Power business users also might want to hold off until more corporate support and productivity applications are added. We’d say the T-Mobile G1 is best-suited for early adopters and gadget hounds who love tinkering around and modding their devices. We’ll continue to test the G1 and applications as more are added, and though we hope for better hardware in the future, we’re excited about Google Android and feel it could change the way we use smartphones. The T-Mobile G1 will be available through T-Mobile black, white, or bronze and costs $149.99 with a two-year contract.
