HTC Dream

Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.

Android interface, Responsive touchscreen, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS, QWERTY keypad

Could look better, Lack of 3.5mm headphone jack, Lack of video recording, Lack of stereo Bluetooth

HTC G1 Review

Google, a major player on the e-commerce market, but mostly renowned for its Internet search engine and e-mail service, has decided to also get involved in the communications market. It took it some years to do so, but the main reason that delayed the...

T-Mobile G1 Smartphone Review

Since there is no support for Microsoft Exchange, the G1 will not be useful to many enterprise users, so it won't have much impact on Blackberry users.The phone is not as sleek as the iPhone, but it is just as useful except for two large flaws. The...
