T-Mobile Google G1: hands on!
That’s right. Get ready for upclose and personal photo snaps of T-Mobile’s Google G1 handset. We took a bunch of shots and even got our Bold and iPhone all up in that. Couple first impressions? It’s smaller than we thought, the keyboard is great, the screen is pretty responsive, and we’re totally looking forward to picking one of these up. What you guys think?

Why oh why do people think this phone is ugly? It looks damned nice and I like that BGR stated the keyboard which everyone loathed without so much as touching one is excellent. I’m going to hold out for the white one, I actually like it the best, fisher-price styling and all.
of course the keyboard is excellent.. it is based on the sidekick which in my opinion have the best keyboards in the industry
Colin Small,
No worries – summary post coming shortly. It’ll cover build, keyboard and a little video for your viewing pleasure…
does anyone know where I can get hi quality pics of the brown version?
Think HTC kaiser sidekick lx for the keyboard

I currently live in Prague, Czech Republic, and I was wondering if anyone knows when this will be available in Europe? Also, at the hotel where I work, we want to purchase new phones with more capabilities. Obviously the iPhone is not perfect for work purposes, however we want something that is fairly easy to use and can support multiple languages. Any suggestions?
I actually like the styling of the phone. It’s not the sexiest design ever- but it does look like it will hold up well over time. It isn’t glossy- so the finish will not highlight scratches and smudges the way the iPhone does. It may not have that WOW factor that a brand new iPhone has, but it doesn’t have the EWW factor that a scratched up iPhone has either.

HTC is just the first to release an Android phone, you will see just about every handset manufacturer release one. It will get even better in about 2 years when more than one chip is able to run Android (they limited it for the time being) allowing even more diversity.
