The T-Mobile G1 cell phone is called by many one of the best smartphones of 2008. The phone has been developed by HTC with features and specs like touch screen support, a fully qwerty keyboard, email, instant messaging, a 3.2 Megapixel camera and customizable screens.
Powered by Google, the G1 also features a one-touch option for Google search, incredibly easy access to Google apps, Google Talk, Google Calendar and YouTube. as well as real-time web browsing and a music player.
The G1 uses the 3G network, which means it’s the third generation of mobile technology out there. 3G allows mobile users access to a full range of features on their mobile device, including wi-fi access, video calls and broadband data access, all at speeds that are competitive with companies that don’t currently offer 3G service.
T-Mobile utilizes 3G as the latest technology that provides their users with minimal loading time for content-heavy sites and searches.
The T-Mobile G1 makes use of a multipane search option which lets users search more than one website at once which can be viewed on the phone’s screen. The cell phone provides direct access to Android Market which users can use to download games and applications from categories like shopping, finance or communication.
Google has developed the Android operating system since 2007. It is solely build with open source technologies that all mobile companies and application developers can use to build applications and products using Open Source distribution and technology. The G1 got its name because it is the first commercial cell phone using the Google Android operating system build by HTC, T-Mobile and Google.
A new feature has been introduced lately that allows T-Mobile G1 users to use a service called Google Voice to use their voice to search on the Internet. The update, like always, has been distributed over the air which meant that users did not have to initiate the download actively.
Android is also planning on releasing a “cupcake” update sometime in the near future, too, which will enable users to use a full qwerty keyboard via touch screen along with other applications that are not being revealed at this time.
Another application created by Google is called Latitude which allows users of the Android phone to share their location with people in their contact list. This is an interesting option for many users including parents who want to check on their children or friends who want to see where the friends are currently.
The G1 is an almost perfect phone but there are already talks about the T-Mobile G2 which is already in the making.
