Google G1 screenshots galore
Looking for a bit of Google G1 goodness to hold you over until T-Mobile’s announcement later tomorrow this morning? We’ve got you covered. An eagle-eyed reader spotted these promo shots on T-Mobile’s G1 site, giving us a bit of a sneak preview of the world’s first commercially available Android-based device. The desktop shot looks roughly similar to the Android desktop shots that we’ve seen from the beginning, with a collection of customizable widgets that display a variety of at-a-glance info and access to commonly used applications. The presence of a MyFaves icon ensures compatibility with T-Mobile’s unlimited calling service. The next screen shot gives a bit of a look into the Maps application, though it doesn’t reveal a whole lot of useful info. We do see reference to, YouTube, Gmail, and GCal, but Google Application interfacing is no secret. Finally, we’ve got a look at both the browser and the landscape mode for image viewing. Again, nothing revolutionary, though the browser does appear to be formatted similarly to Google’s iPhone-specific mode. Hit the jump for the final two shots, and hold on to your hats folks. 10:30 AM EST is almost upon us.
Thanks, Nigel!
ugly. I’ll pass on buying but will go in store to test it.

Looks very Googlish: only basic features and bland design. Aside from limitless love for the Google brand I don’t see a single reason why would anyone choose it over BlackBerry, iPhone or WM. Or even some LG/Samsung.

BGR did not scoop this. Scoop was on Tmonews. Give credit where credit is due people.

Hat off to Google for trying to diversify their businesses but can’t seem to part ways with my Bold. If anything, I will upgrade to BB Thunder when it comes out this Xmas.

JB,
symbian is most definately not the largest platform in the world (at least not the S60 devices, which are smartphones and S40 devices dont count)

Oh my god, I’m going to throw my other two phones on the fire right now. I’m going to go build a blazer in my back yard, and burn them into steaming piles of plastic goo, just so I can get myself properly psyched up for this phone to be available for purchase. I’m going to buy and iPhone just so I can smash it in the street.
Get a grip people, it’s a goddamn PHONE. Who the hell cares what it has on it, it’s a tiny little phone that can display maps and email. Why don’t all of you save the $300 or whatever this thing will cost, keep using the phone you have that’s probably no more than 6 months old, and go out for a nice dinner, or see a concert, or take a weekend road trip.

One of the most important feature of Google Phone is its based on Linux and is open source that’s 10000 miles ahead of Apple. I can never go with a company like Apple which ‘controls’ users like a dictator.

“imma be one of the first i hope”
It will be the same phone even if you are not one of the first. What a silly and insecure thing to hope for.

I think we can all say that Roger Alford will continue even in comments world, to provide his readers with the most poorest grammar on the page.

its not a pretty thing, and one thing that the iphone touched on is design MATTERS. As for the silly MENU button - label - thingy its horrible.
thank goodness the design can change and its only the os we are interested in

Here’s the final say; iphone sucks and looks like something a flamer concocted in his sleep. G1 is a sh*t phone too cuz its made by HTC(nothing from Korea is good or decent) not to mention the crappy design of it(why do u need trackball if it has touchscreen AND keyboard?) I’ve owned 3 HTC phones and they all sucked, this will be no different. Iphone lovers-why are u even reading about the G1 if you’re so happy with your “superior” b*tch iphone? Roger, you’re just a miserable old pole smoker and nothing you say can possibly even be misconstrued as uplifting or inspiring. Shut your cumdumpster. Touchscreen phones ALL suck. Especially overrated iphones and this horrifying excuse for a smartphone…..Blackberry for Life.

Thanks for comments. I really to get my hands on it. What about localization and unlocking? Do you know where I can get information?
Thanks,

I own an iPhone. The touch keyboard is 2 times bigger than any other smartphone. It can change letters to numbers with a button, hint, plastic keyboards can not do that. Plus there is chrome on the iPhone. Also, Apple is very, very reliable on updates, unlike other smart phones, where there is no updates at all. The Battle Rages On!

Hey, “bigdickbastahd” (riiight…lol) you exude ignorance when you speak. HTC is a Taiwan based company not Korean. Secondly Samsung is a one of the leading companies in electronics and is a Korean based company. Learn the actual facts before you speak. Now on the phone I have mixed emotions about it. Ill buy it and if I don’t like it, it can be returned in 14 days for a full refund.
