    Google G1

    The new googlephone has been released in the US according to Swedish newspapers.

    What do you think about it? Do you think you should get it?

    I'm an advocate of free cell phones, so until it's free, nope.

    I'm enjoying my old Motorola v195s. 17 day standby, 8 hours of talk time, and the highest amount of electromagnetic radiation of them all

    Re: Google G1

    I'd go for it, however the only provider that has it is T-Mobile. T-Mobile first of all isn't as big as a company as the one I currently have, and their 3G service is very limited. Google Android however is impressive. I'd have to wait to see how it turns out since it was only released 2 days ago. Otherwise, if I can find someone who uses T-Mobile and has a Google Android phone I'll certainly review it. Otherwise, from what I've heard, Google is using T-Mobile as a mainstream test platform, but Google should be expanding to other carriers like AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon in the future.

    My signature likes cookies! Do you? :D

    I hope it gets at a cheap provider here in Sweden. I got "telenor" right now (aka T-mobile, pannon) and it is expensive as **** . 1 minute to another phone costs $0.6. I rather get "3" or "tele2"

    Re: Google G1

    If you ask me I think it won't be smth very special ..I think like that becoz of chrome..it wasn't very good..so if they can't make good browser they won't make better smartphone..
    These are their 1st versions so I think they'll make better ones as time passes .
    If my post has helped ya or ya like my jokes hit the +REP button ;)
