T-Mobile G-1 Android phone, the first mobile phone built with Google’s operating system, Android, was launched last fall. Even though I am leaning toward staying with Verizon as you can see in this post, I still want to look around to see if there are better alternatives for me.

Reviews on the Internet
The reviews I could find on the internet were mixed. For example, gizmod.com lists 5 flaws of T-Mobile G1.

1. Contacts and syncing problems
2. No video capability
3. Hardware inadequency
4. No internal strage for media playback
5. Locked to T-Mobile

The same gizmod.com also has a very detailed, somewhat positive review here.

All of the above are probably typical of any product during an initial launch. With a little more time, I’m sure the product will get better. It’s a good looking phone with some twists.

If you want to get some deals, there are already some listings for the Android phone and a lot of people are actually bidding for it
