OK, It's been over three months now since many of us have had our hands on a working implementation of Android, so the honeymoon period is over and it's probably time to do a check-in on what people like and dislike about the *retail* G1 (i.e. not using custom firmware) which could help handset manufacturers and T-Mobile improve their future devices, I'd suggest we stick to a short background so we know where everyone is coming from and three plus points and three minus points to keep things brief. Here's mine;
Background: I have a Sony Ericsson c702, Nokia N81, and a G1. Currently I use the c702 daily, the N81 is my old phone that I keep as a spare in case the c702 breaks, and the G1 which I use for development work or showing people what it's like. At the moment I far prefer my c702 for daily use over my G1. G1 likes: - Touchscreen; It does make life easier than fiddling with the c702 or N81 hard keys. - Apps; The c702 & N81 app installation process is painful and the selection is limited. - Virtual Desktop; Having 3 "desktops" makes life easier. G1 dislikes: - Lack of tethering; I have a GPS unit which relies on a tethered phone for traffic information, so I can't use the G1 with it. - Size; it's just too thick and long to fit in my pocket easily. - Keyboard; I have a white G1 and the writing on the keys is unreadable in certain light conditions. Who's next? Al. -- ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909. The registered head office is Kemp House, 152-160 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, UK.
