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

+ nice design overall good features

- battery dies really fast

+ its great that you can download new applications, i love the key pad ...easy to use. every one should have one of these much better than poncy iphone.

- battery life could be longer, but its really quick to download. also, the design is a bit basic, could be made of better plastic perhaps? but these are unimportant compared to all its other good points!

+ very easy to use, great devices with loads to do, great games and great ring tones

- very bad batteries life, really does not last very long at all.

+ Full physical keyboard really helps on typing emails and text messages.

- Battery life is bad. A full charge lasts me exactly 2 days. But then I only make about 1 call in 2 days and use about 10 minutes of web browsing and emails. So for a typical phone user it will be significantly less.

+ good for checking e mails when out and about
and browsing a few web pages

- poor battery life

+ Extra applications are great, so many uses, i hardly use my computer anymore. Love this phone to bits and great for music not that you can get up to 16 gb of music.

- The battery life is pretty poor and if im browsing it wont get me through the day, and applications sometimes force close, but good points over rule the bad points!

+ Many facilities

- Really really poor battery life if using on board software

+ always access emails and internet at fingertips and i love the qwerty keyboard

- bluetooth there is none although it is in the phone you cant send or recieve files which is really annoying

+ great features, email integration, calendar integration,etc...

- really rubbish battery life

+ the look and the feel of it and the overall feautures are pretty good

- the battery life is aweful and my G1 white crashes

+ the software is excellent but limited until extended via the Market app store. the memory card cannot be mounted on my mac so getting files to it is a pain. Also bluetooth file transfer doesn't exist so that makes it hard to transfer files between handsets. i'm sure that will come with subsequent software updates though. overall it's a great phone and has already changed the way i work/live day to day.

- the battery life is bad and the lack of bluetooth file transfer is really bad.

+ Easy to browse

- Battery life should come with spare battery and means of charging off phone.

+ The applications i can download which makes thing more easier and interesting

+ it has so many features games, email and so on

- the battery life dies as soon as you go to web and walk.

- the sync with other phones is terrible, i have had the phone nearning on a month and still have not been able to sync!!!!!! the camera quality is terrible , and the lack of features , sucj as timer and zoom !!!but when you think you have a mini laptop in your hand , it is out weighed., more thought would need to be put into this !!!!!!

- battery life isnt very good, I use it all day long and struggle with the battery if I have to go to a meeting late or straight out from work.
keypad isnt senstive enough

+ touch screen, lots of downloads on the market thing, large screen

- not high pixel cam, no video cam feature, no flash on cam, cant pair up other devices via bluetooth, when i get sent pics via sms i cant transfer to my mem card and when you use the keyboard during the day the backlight behind the keys comes on and you cant see the letters properly.

+ Slide out keyboard is really great - better than a touch screen keyboard for texting and emailing. USB charging is good - can charge it in work from my PC.

- Bit on the large side - cant fit it in my pocket like i could my old phone! Battery life isnt great.

+ Its a great phone, it has great apps and you can receive emails and read your emails while doing other thing. Its a fantastic phone.

- The keyboard takes a couple of days to get used to and the battery life is't great the phone needs charging every other day.

- Battery tends to run down very quickly if you use the internet, but I guess that's to be expected.

+ Its a really nice phone with lots of good features.

- Its not really simple to use as you dont get a book with the phone and i cant do everything on it.

+ Looks good, feels good and is so easy to use. Instant access to my emails for me is the best feature, but google access at all times comes a close second. All features on the phone are impressive.

- Battery tends to need charging every day, even on light usage.
Even at its loudest ring tone can be difficult to hear if tucked away in a handbag, etc.

- poor battery life i mean really reallly poor and not being able to bluetooth music or pictures is a pain and sometimes the software is a little confusing

- the battery doesnt last very long and it wont bluetooth to older phones even when paired with them. It could come with a user manual too.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- no bluetooth

+ I enjoy the market feature including things like ShopSavvy etc. although some of the updates prevent the phone from sleeping which will just kill battery time amongst other things it gets access to. I love texting on the phone and the touch screen. One of the main reasons why I bought the phone was because of it's sliding design which I am obsessed with. I absolutely adore the internet surfing on it. I think it is rather quick in all fareness considering it's size etc. Overall the phone is a real enjoyment

- I really hate the fact the battery dies so quick. The updates for products brought from the market can gain access to features on the phone which I am not so sure they should be able to. There isn't a flash player. The camera is good but only in sunlight because there is no flash?? Sometimes the navigation ball sticks but comes undone rather easily.

- battery life doesnt last very long

+ every easy to use The camera focus is exelent

- Have not found any

+ Excellent internet connections and surfing great camera texting and crystal clear phone calls

- Battery life could be better, no bluetooth

+ Great access to internet, looks fab!! Loads of extras you can download onto phone if desired.

- Cant get it to connect to another phone via bluetooth for some reason! Battery life doesnt last too long

+ it looks nice and easy to use once yoy are used to it

- trouble with bluetoothing cant seem to pick up other devices also picture messiging unable to recive from other phones and no radio

+ - It's basically a computer, it has it's own Open Source operating system, you can design your own applications for it (provided you can program, of course).
- The full size keyboard is awesome for sending text messages or emails.
- I like the "notification" screen, basically a tab hanging on the top of the screen to tell you anything new that has happened, but you can drag it down to make it bigger, it's pretty cool.

- - I know this is said, but it's horrifically true, the battery life is *awful*, truly awful.
- Although it is fine now, I have my suspicions that the slidey part of the screen is going to break on me, it doesn't seem like the most well built of constructions, but only time will tell.

+ THE PHONE HAS LOADS OF APPS ALLOWING YOU TO PERSONALISE IT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT. THE SCREEN HAS VERY GOOD TOUCH SENSITIVITY AND THE OVERALL DESIGN IN A1.

- BATTERY LIFE IS AN ISSUE AS IT ONLY SEEMS TO LAST ABOUT A DAY (EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE THE PHOINE MUCH). DON'T TRY TO BLUETOOTH ANYTHING TO/FROM THIS PHONE FROM ANYTHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER G1, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO WORK!

+ The picture quality is good. SMS messaging is nice and easy to use thanks to the 'thread' system the phone uses.

- Backlight on the white keypad makes it difficult to see the characters on the keys. The slide bracket seems a bit fragile.

+ everything i really good on the phone
other than that i am totally happy with my G1

- The battery and the camera

+ Excellent phone, 10 times better than the Blackberry's. I like the Android application feature its excellent, iv downloaded solitaire on my phone, I operate my business from my phone, I dont even use my laptop any more its brilliant!!!!

- The battery needs improving, it doesn't last too long, apart from that nothing

+ the phone is great

+ the general phone. it looks good, performs well and is easy to use. The android system is also really good for getting lots of new stuff

- the fact that as of yet it dosent have a video recorder or bluetooth file push. The software does also crash sometimes

+ awsome fne!

- batt life is the only bad thing bout this fne

+ easy to use and is very convenient with web browsing, the youtube applivation is also very good.

- battery life is depressing and useless, it is not possible to view any jaza files or flashplayer applicatins on the browser so that is bad.

+ internetandaddfeatures

- cantforwardmessages

+ the internet, keyboard, touch screen

- battery life, bluetooth

+ Ease of access to internet is great

- The battery life is totally useless when you are using apps. or internet the batterylife is terribly short and feel have to manage the amount of useage quite alot even to the fact of making sure that have enough battery life left for 1 day.

+ Excellent apps, all round fun keeps people amused for a long time, so many different things with the actual phone.

- Battery life is far too short!

+ It has a great many features, packed into an attractive and compact design. It certainly has the Wow factor, when you flip open the screen to expose the qwerty keyboard!

- The camera is certainly not its best feature, as it lacks a flash. Battery life is a slight issue, but the general pattern is that it requires charging after a day of surfing, texting and phoning, which does not take long (o-100% charge takes about an hour).

+ overall good phone applications are fantastic email setup is great

- battery life is terrible i use an application or the browser for about 10 minutes then i have to charge my phone again

+ Market place,maps,browsing,Email,music

- Battery life is not very good, however, I have overcome this by using a power monkey which works well for me.

+ just love it its so handy

- no bad points (may be a bit weighty)

+ Find web browsing ok and can check my emails on the go - Kids love going on Facebook! Free apps are pretty good too - and a good phone too! Not the smallest, but suits my needs

- Battery life very poor

+ the internet is really fast most of the time and you can download a million aplications thats are just for fun of useful

- the battery life is rubish unless you dont do anything but text

+ Amazing phone with instant synchronization with google calendars and contacts and no cables or software required. Android operating system enables full control of phone and thousands of free downloads of user developed apps. App market packed full of amazing tools and features, like free satellite tracking of mobile from anywhere with internet connection.

- Battery life can be quite short if all functions are enabled i.e. bluetooth on and satellite tracking enabled bat life reduced to less than a day. Music quality isn't that good if using it as mp3 player, and camera isn't as good as some others on the market.

+ asy to retrieve emails and easy to get web access

- the battery life is really quite bad i'm always recharging it

+ This phone is so so easy to use, I really love everything about it. All my friends are very jealous. My sister has an iphone which I have also used and I think this phone is just as good if not better. There is an application for absolutely everything so you can really personalise your phone.

- The battery life is the only bad thing, realistically it needs charging every other day.
