you cant type a text without opening the keyboard

facebook application isnt displayed properly

quite often the internet is unbelievably slow

it looks like an old mans phone

the nipple that moves apparentely like a mouse is already wearing out even though mine is only 3 months old

its looks much uglier than its competitors

im stuck in an 18 month contract and the charge for getting out is to pay the remaining months

but swindle !!!

Of cell phones to choose from ,weather its a touch screen or a music friendly phone u name it we got it.find a phone that doesn't fit your need,not a problem,again our big veriety will make it simple for u to find what suits u best.
So please take you're 11 so called hate points you have about the g 1 and stick it where the sun don't shine.invest money in schools and maybe one day you. Guys will have the technology to actually build a smartphone.I woldnt keep my mouth shut insted of talking all that shit when ur country sucks so much that u people find you're selfs buying foreign cell phones so fuck you're dislikes.

I also have the G1 and played with it for about a week. i found some things that I really hate.
First.. the battery! enough said…
Second.. incoming and outgoing calls goes directly under the favorite tab.. you can't delete it
and third.. it's freaking heavy.

Thats odd, I have a G1 and the US versions of the phone are a lot different than the UK.

On my phone, the Market has HUNDREDS of those free apps... And I've got 500+ messages in my inbox and Gmail loads in 3-5 seconds.

But you're right, the battery sucks, i have to lock the screen and turn it off all the time to preserve.

Hi Ewan

Iâ€™ve had a bit more time to play around with my G1 and I wanted to add some things which are annoying me to your list (although it may just be that Iâ€™ve not found a way to solve these issues, so if anyone else has Iâ€™d be grateful if youâ€™d let me know):

1 â€“ The camera. Itâ€™s okay, but not great. The time between pressing the button and it actually taking a shot is long enough for the subject to get up, make a cup of tea and come back and appear in the shot. However, what annoys me in particular is the fact that there is no zoom on it.

2 â€“ The email function doesnâ€™t have a select tick box (like the â€˜fullâ€™ Gmail). It means you canâ€™t manage a lot of emails in one go.

3 â€“ The lack of hotkey. There should be one key that can be used to be a hotkey â€“ one button and youâ€™re in. I know everything is easy and accessible on the home screen, but maybe Iâ€™m not on the home screen, maybe I donâ€™t want to go back to the homescreen first … For me itâ€™s for email and I want to be able to go there in one press.

One thing I did want to pick you up on though is the plasticky feel of it â€“ thatâ€™s the white one. The black one is much, much better.

Anyway, itâ€™s only version 1. Iâ€™m sure itâ€™ll get better. Though wouldnâ€™t it be great if this Foxtrot cartoon predicted it right … http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2008/ft0811...

t mobiles 3G (in general) kicks O2 into next week.
O2 3g rarely kicks into 3.5G and mostly drops back to edge on iPhone and N95
and this is in central london

tmobile rocks it on 3.5G almost permantly

How does it compare to the iPhone on O2? This is my first time on O2 and I'm finding their network speed and response times somewhat lacking.

It's surprisingly refreshing — and T-Mobile's 3G network is pretty nifty.
