T-Mobile G1 Slide Phone Touchscreen 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Its very managable and useful. Has every feature that is needed. Easy to use.

- In the black G1 the screen squeeks. the White G1 does not do that therefore I would recommend the phone but the White G1.

+ The amount of applications on the market, the speed of the 3g the level of customisation you can do is amazing!

- mainly the battery, if using the phone alot with 3g activated can drain it in half a day, though there measures you can put into place that will make it last that bit longer

+ Touch screen, fast web browsing, android software, loads of applications

- Can not transfer files & contact via blue tooth, 3.5 mm headphone jack, can not access phone memory, can not change installation directory to save phone memory.

+ Open platform, and apps

- T-mobile bad connectivity

+ Choice of touch screen if you're not busy or tracker ball if you're on the move. Screen quality is spot on.

- Battery life! If you're one of these people who like to play games on their phone all the time, then you'll probably gonna loose 15% of the battery within 15-20 minutes of play time. There is no multitouch which is a shame. The camera is not too great too, don't get me wrong the quality of photos is good but you have to be rock steady and in good lighting at all time to get a nice photo

+ Excellent for internet related services, email, web etc

- Battery life is not good if the phone is used a lot, and with emails and internet it does get used a lot.

+ Its a sharp, classy phone, that looks good and works just as good. I love it.

- The battery life is very poor.

+ Great for internet and all the cool apps you get

- No Adobe flah player makes some websites browing dull
Poor battery life

- The issue I have with this phone is the battery life, it dies on me to QUICKLY!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Amazing connection to the internet
Easy keyboard layout

- Lack of sync with other phones
Abit slow sometimes

+ Great operating system with heaps of extensibility and free downloadable apps. Slide out keyboard is much quicker for typing on than the touchscreen one.

- The worst point is definitely the battery life. The camera is also pretty sucky...

+ email. different applicantions, the touch screen

- the battery life is poor, the fone is ugly, camera an music are poor

+ Plenty of features

- Battery life

+ Fab browing capability, fast, good to personalise, great applications.

- Battery life a bit disappointing but probably to be expected with the features running on the phone. Also you cant bluetooth data to other devices, only to headsets etc.

+ Easy to use qwerty keypad, with full touch screen. Fast internet powered by google which allows you to do basically everything that a computer or pc can do, to me it feels like a laptop that sends text messages and allows phone calls, which I think is really cool for the size of the phone. Also the flip out screen ,makes the phone look very appealing and futuristic and after some getting used to is a lot quicker than using your old phones because you have the full qwerty keypad. Also your home screen is fully adaptable to how you want it meaning you can add whichever customizations or widgets that you want making getting around your phone a lot quicker.

- When trying to connect with other bluetooth phones (even when the phone is made discoverable) they still cannot find or connect with you, also there is no option to send your files, so the bluetooth option is rather irrelevant so having a pc to connect to is really handy. Also the battery may only last a day and goes down even faster when listening to music.

+ email access, web usage, apps. Very cool phone.

- The roller ball is sometimes too sensitive and therefore difficult to navigate with.
Occasionally catch the return key on the keypad and send a message by mistake during typing.

+ Excellent overall, user friendly and packed with useful features.

- Battery life is very disappointing.

+ The phone is excellent! I would recommend it to anyone.

- The only real problem with the phone is that it can't send or receive files through bluetooth.

- the battery life is horrific, barely reching the end of the day !

+ Amazing applications available to download from the 'Market', super sleek design, QWERTY keypad- so easy to use,good camera,Phone vibrates every time you receive email!

- Battery Life, Sometimes phone doesn't ring [only vibrates]

+ great for texting contact lists really quick loads of free downloads really pleased with it

- battery power very poor

+ Easy to navigate, good clear screen with nice resolution, internet access/Email and MSN were all easy to set up. I have this and the Nokia N97, the android store is WAY better than Nokia's Ovi at the moment (been going for a bit longer tho). LOADS of free apps to play with. As a gadget junkie, I have enjoyed playin with this phone a lot, and would recommend as a good net/messaging phone.

- No bluetooth file transfer out of the box. Memory is limited, should be a bit more (but could always do with more). Battery is its main downfall, needs charging daily - but its used often, need to improve the touch screen too tho - does not react unless you press quite hard, the N97 has way better touchscreen.

+ features, customize menus/applications,

- battery, slow menus, camera

+ Enjoyable to use, a great phone

- The battery life lasts no longer than a day.

+ It doesn't have any.

- Battery life is appaling, features/services don't work as they're meant to. all in all not a good phone.

+ 99% of it is good

- 1% is not bad, pity it hasnt got a radio function/feature

+ It has many features that mostly work well.

- There are some problems with web browsing.

+ The good points of the g1 is the qwerty keyboard the range of applications, email come straight to the phone and amazing internet.

- The bad points of the g1 is the batterie life, no flash on the camera and u connot transfer anything via bluetooth from another phone other than that its a brilliant phone very simple to use and excellent internet,

+ easy to browse web from armchair.
txt messaging keeps the thread of conversation
plays you tube video well

- sound aint that good from speaker
battery life can be poor if you use it all day which invariably I do because there is an app for everything
It will last whole day and need recharging every night
slow to boot

+ Adriod is perfect for me. I used a lot of google services already such as gmail and maps. This phone perfectly integrates with my previous usage. The interface is great and smooth and I love the threaded sms messages. Price is also a big plus for me. Great value compared to other smart phones.

- Poor battery, really only lasts a day if used for anythin more than the odd email or text. The sliding screen feels slightly flimsy. It's not going to break straight away but it's not as solid as I would like.

+ The phone itself overall is brilliant, once gotten use to it is easy to navigate even for me. The amount that can be held on it is amazing and the way in which it stores things such as emails and sms are fab. The music is also good. The camcorder and camera are definately one of the best i have had.

- It's not compact and weighs quiet a bit. The battery life is also not amazing since I use my phone quiet a bit daily it needs charging early eveing every night.

+ Android is excellent, apps can add any amount of functionality, physical keyboard is great.

- Battery life is not the best but higher capacity third party batteries can be purchased.

+ I really like this phone, its very easy to use and looks good to. It has really fast internet access and some really cool downloadable games and applications that can keep you amused for hours!

- The only 2 things i can slate about this phone is the sound when recording and the battery life. The battery runs low very quickly but does stay on the lowest for a while.

+ you can download alot of things

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use

- Hard to blutooth anything and no flash on camera

+ all round brilliant phone couldnt say one bit was best

- none

+ This product i easy to figure out and i handy when on the move with the web & walk you certainly cant get bored their are many applications you can add to the phone and you never get bored

- this phone has terrible battery life the battery needs charge each day even if you dont use your phone alot

+ ease of use, clear and comfortable, so many features love it

- battery life drains down so quickly, never had to keep recharging so often, but as i love the phone thats the only negtative thing about it.

+ qwerty keyboard is very easy to use and there are loads of free apps for it

- battery life is not great and bluetooth functionality is very limited

+ It can do a multitude of things

- Lack of bluetooth connectivity with other phones and the lack of stereo support for bluetooth - I could not bluetooth my contacts or my music over from my previous phone. Also the fact that it is locked to T-mobile. It is too chunky looking. Overall as a competitor of the Iphone it comes a poor second in all areas apart from value for money - tarrif wise. The lack of a proper manual to explain how to sync the phone with my computer also irked me, other phones you can just plug in, bluetooth everything and get going. With this I had to look at forums to see how other people had resolved issues that should not have been issues.

+ Easy to use, browsing is good and app market is great

- battery life

+ This phone is really usefull and quick and easy to use. The internet is very up speed and the menu options are easy to navigate. The andriod market is really good and unlike the i phone each application is completly free to download.

- The battery life isnt too good but no phone with al these elements would have a good battery its the simple fact of usage of the phone that works the battery down though its 75% ok.

+ Ease of use is great, applications and downloads are brilliant,

- the battery life is terible

+ the market place, you can find all sorts of stuff on there for free, i have even been reading books etc and doing brain training for absolutely free

- NO FLASHHH! camera quality even in broad daylight is rubbish, internet constantly breaks. when you have it on silent, the screen doesnt light up or anything to say youv got a call so you miss loads

+ Great slide out keyboard, excellent navigational rollerball, great os in android, good apps

- battery life sucks, screen gets dirty with fingerprints, sound quality not great

+ The phone syncs with google mail and it is pretty quick at doing so.

- The phone is unable to send things via bluetooth - it can only recieve.

+ its fast, easy to use once you get the hang of it, great for the internet, keypad makes texting easier and faster.

- confusing to use at the beginning, battery life, gets bad signal and takes a while to restore signal.

+ hi the phone is over all very good and yes i would recamend to every one ,

- battery its really bad and in need of upgrade ,can i have a better stronger battery please

+ I really like the phone, i love the fact you have the keyboard, making texting so much easier, i like the fact that all the message threads are together, the little trackerball, the apps :) and i love the fact i can actually get online on my phone were i live :)

- The battery life runs down far too fast, but thats when you use the apps contantley, and with a phone like this you want to. Also the fact you cant send/ recieve items through bluetooth, which is a big downfall. But i have heard somewhere that they are fixing the problem, and hopefully they will soon :)
