T-Mobile G1 in Smartphones

Verdict
Android looks promising, albeit with kinks to iron out, but we remain unconvinced by the practical but clunky hardware.

Ease of Use
There's clearly a lot more to come from Android, and once it begins to spread, the handsets and contract deals are bound to improve. The software is incredibly easy to use and set up, but there are problems that need to be ironed out and the hardware and initial contract offering are disappointing. For now we'd recommend you hold fire on Android, at least until some more capable phones appear.
