The G1 - A world apart ..

I let the G1 now since exactly one week in possession, and wanted potential buyers share my experiences. Anticipation I skeptical buy? Do not buy? A beauty that G1 is not exactly .. Ultimately, and all the negative reviews for spite, I opted for the G1. And I do not bereuhe this decision. The G1 is a mobile phone a completely new feeling. The handling is very intuitive, and goes in wahrhesten sense of the word easily by hand. The touch screen works Super (I've had a lot of smart phones with touch), and am hereby accordingly speak satisfied.

But even from the beginning. When you start the phone, and no T-Mobile has map, you firstonce problems. Nungut as are now my settings to produce an Internet connection? After a defeated hour Google'n I finally found my settings for O2. Next you need a Google Account to be set up, or you need to log in to an existing one. The creation comes loose from the hand (if you have a working Internet connection as finally established).

The first launch is easy, and you find yourself immediately along well (at least I was doing so). Whether I now want me log into the WLAN and wants to access from there to the sensationally good Android Market (software platform of Android), or via EDGE, GPRS or HSDPA. No problem at all, and functioning properly. What I emphasize here is the need to work not all the programs and games that exist on the market so easily. There are frequent crashes, but most programs are still in beta.

Nungut, how are things with the Kontaktimportierung from? A little tricky, I recommend here this via google-mail online (web interface on the PC) to control. There you needed his contact only in the CSV format, and whoosh, they are automatically synchronized after some time with the phone!

Gmail web interface and the G1 are therefore permanently in sync with what is a great thing.

I could still write hours, but I will confine myself now to a conclusion.

The disadvantages are obvious, the cell phone is not for design fetishists and that the phone Duration-Online is also not for everyone (flat rate data plan is definitely here from emergencies). But the rest was convincing me mercilessly. Whether I am now in the media market and sometimes just checke via barcode scanner if there is a microwave in the net effective, or me directly get with Wikitude over 350,000 attractions on the camera display, along with Wikipedia information (on the camera !!?! Yes, addiction times at yotube "Wikitude"!)

Oh, and one more information for all the fear, Google would spy on you. Google is a member of SGNT "Safe Harbor Agreement". Who wants to know more, simply enter times in a search engine. Here I would make me clearly more concerned with Apple's toy phone.

For whom is the G1? Clearly for people traveling like to have their Internet in your pocket, and want to use many ways to communicate, however. It is definitely not a business phone, but unfortunately (for now) simply incompatible Synchro properties with Outlook, the calendar and the contact database. For browsing (the browser based on Chrome), watch YouTube videos, chat and email the mobile is absolutely perfect.

A minus point there are only wg the design (where it looks really terrible in the photos than in real terms) and the lack of Synchro properties and their duty a GMAIL account to create.

Ansonten: slamming, especially for the price.
