HTC G1 Cell Phone Reviews

by Robert Darlington -- November 12th 2009 -- Los Alamos, NM

The rating scale of 1 to 5 is not very helpful here. I absolutely love the phone. I'm a techie, Android developer, UNIX admin, and nerd. The ease of use for me is trivially easy, but for the next guy it might not be so easy. This phone is definitely not for grandma. No problems with call quality. The design is cool and I really don't mind the bend at the bottom of the G1 but I know others hate it. The battery life sucks when compared to my Blackberry Pearl. If I forget to charge it, it will be completely dead by noon the next day. Out of the box, a charge would last 4 to 6 hours. I figured out what to turn off to optimize battery life. Compared to my old Blackberry 8830, I have the exact same battery life. I'm used to having to charge the phone up every night or suffer the consequences the next day. The really nice thing about it is that it's infinitely more capable than the Blackberry devices and charges in 1/4 the time.

Great phone but could use a flash player and multi-touch capabilities.

Awesome phone. I use it for everything with Google. I probably use it too much. With everything turned on and in use, the battery life is about 6 hours. Turning some options off, the life is about 12 hours. I use it more like a computer than a phone.

It's the best phone on the market.

I really enjoy the HTC G1. I think if you have a Google account, this is the phone for you. I do think it needs a better battery or power savings. I had to plug it in everywhere I went. The QWERTY keyboard is great and better than touching a touchscreen. I really liked the android platform and HTC was able to show off 95% of what the OS is capable of.

I am very satisfied with the T-Mobile G1. I got one a few months ago and I really like it. The only problems that I found is the battery life with the GPS and the design of where the buttons are located. All and All, HTC did a good job with this one. I can't wait for the G2.
