The Google G1 Android T-Mobile phone isn’t bulky or even money sucking! In fact, I’m pleased to report that the G1, which is manufactured by HTC on behalf of Google is quite to my liking! G1 marks the beginning the beginning of a new era, Google – the largest search engine in the world has entered into the mobile business with the launch of Google Android, which is affectionately called by the pros as G1.0. And if your buying a phone solely on how great it looks G1 probably is the phone for you, but at the same time it can’t be called ugly in way, it has very decent looks and a host of to die for features!

The G1 weighs about 5.6 ounces and has a 320 by 80 pixel touch screen. The menu button just below the screen and below that, the call, home, back and disconnect buttons lie in a horizontal line with Google’s famed trackball set right in the middle of these four buttons. Though the G1 will not win any prizes for attractiveness, the 3.2 inch 320 by 480 pixel touch screen is very impressive.

QWERTY keyboard – This is one area that Google G1 scores big! The screen slides up to showcase a well built QWERTY keyboard and push button emailing through Gmail and a full html browsing client! For shutter bugs like me there’s an amazing 3.2 mega pixel camera to shoot some amazing pictures!

As for some of the features - Google’s G1 Android Phone offers 3d graphics acceleration, bluetooth, EDGE, WiFi and Google Maps too! There’s also an “Android Market” for add-on application purchasing and a tie-up with Amazon for MP3 purchasing!

While, to provide 2G and 3G services Google has tied up T-Mobile. G1 works perfectly with Google’s endless list of applications and since the G1 is based on the Android open source system it is expected that we see a lot more applications in future. Thus we recommend the Google G1 Android as a definitive buy!
