Get the G1

My dad and I went to the T-Mobile store yesterday because his myriad of phones have all quit on him, apparently one has a broken charging bay and the other has a touch screen that doesn’t work… useless. His office provides him with a free T-Mobile account and pays for any phone he’s going to get, so I went with him to scope out the possibilities. Upon first walking in I noticed the htc G1, it’s Google’s answer to the iPhone sorta. The phone looks pretty cool and has some nifty little features, like google apps, a nice 3.2 megapixel camera, a 5 row QWERTY keyboard and a really easy to use OS. How does it compare to the iPhone? Well I’ve always loved the iPhone for the sort of phone it is, and it’s always been tough to adjust to anything else that is similar, in that it utilizes a touch screen and internet capability, but after messing with the G1 for a little bit I really began to like it and that’s saying a lot. So as of now I’ve basically sold my dad on the G1 seeing as how it’s the only viable phone that provides what it does on T-Mobile, hopefully he’ll see the light and get the phone so that I can play with it =)

    First of all, thanks to Tim for going with me to the store. I’m pretty much up on technology, but I needed help on picking a new phone. I have a T Mobile MDA and I like the screen and keyboard. It makes it easy to text while I drive :) Anyway, many thanks to greatest son on planet for going with dad to help him pick out a new phone. Btw, I told my phone guy at work that I wanted the G1. I should have it before my son goes back to college in Tampa. I hope he helps me move my contacts, etc. from the MDA to my rockin G1. Thanks Son. You’re my hero.

    Oh man, it’s time i get a new phone. I’m totally accident prone and so i have insurance on my phone, considering i drop my phone at least 5 times a day. I think i’ve gone through four of the same phone and one time I dropped it in the toilet but Tim resurrected it! I think i need to upgrade… (on the phone, not the boyfriend).
