Chambahs Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) So, while we were having a little party at my house, my blackberry falls, trackball falls out and i get the pieces and re-assemble my trackball to put it back in. Then outta fucking nowhere, drunk bitch knocks shit outta my hand, and the scrollers go missing. So guess what? NO WAY TO NAVIGATE. So, i did some research on the G1 Android, seemed pretty cool. Open source, so theres ALWAYS new games and apps for it. Ran down to Tmobile, got it. I got home, turned it on, started messing with it. Next thing i know, i fucking look up and 4 hours go by. WTF THIS THING IS AMAZING. God, the best phone ive ever had in my life. The market is FULL of fucking apps, sure, some are dumb, but hey, the G1 has been out for what? 1-2 months? Shit, i can only imagine. Already i saw a GBA emulator app on the market. You take your SD memory card, put some GBA roms on it, plug it into your phone, install the FREE gba emulator and start playing. Sure, it prolly plays like shit, but hey, its a start. Open source ftw. Touchscreen is amazing and really responsive. Now i know why this is a heavy debate on being th competitor to the Iphone. This thing really -is- amazing. Fuck the blackberry storm. If you are looking for a new phone, i HIGHLY recommend getting the G1. Retail on it is 400 bucks. I got hooked up with this chic that works at tmobile that is...a..friend. I called tmobile and they said i wasnt elligible for the tmobile full discount, but i got it anyway. Anyway, the only cons are: Theres no 3G network in CT, which sucks. But its fine, because im only 30 minutes away from NYC, which has the largest 3G network. So theres certain parts of my town that gets the 3G coverage. Im starting to notice these apps take a shitload of battery life. I think there is a replacement battery out there for the G1 that lasts longer, but meh, i wont be using apps alot since im working most of the day. God i love this thing...afk4lyfe playing with my G1. EDIT: Been playing around with it a bit more. Shazam is awesome. Hold the phone up to some music, shazam finds the artist, album, song name and links to download the song off the web instantly. Good for those times your listening to something and you are like "OMG WHO SINGS THIS" or "WHATS THIS SONG CALLED". Pretty fucking neat. Loopt is total awesomesauce. Well, its not really since pretty much nobody has it, but the idea is very nice. Its pretty much like a GPS version of facebook or AIM lmao. You use your GPS to tell people where you are, you can send your buddy list invites and stuff. So like, you go to a party, turn on your loopt, and write a "PARTY WHERE IM AT" message to send to everyone on your buddy list including city/state/zip/street. And they are also working to incorporate it with google maps, so you can actually have people pin pointed on a map. Also then you can send pic/video/text messages to them as well. Its pretty nice. Bartender App is fucking awesome. Just got it, it includes about 500 different type of drinks/mixes for parties. I had a couple friends name like 15 each, found every single of of them, the only one i cant find, is the one that -I- wanted. WTF, anyone know what a chakra shot is? ffs More updates coming soon.

»Purge Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I was going to get the G1, but I ended up getting a free upgrade to the Samsung Gravity. I know the two don't compare, but the G1 apparently was going to be improved by next year with a new phone, so I didn't get it. I can wait 2 years for the next best phone, which Google would probably own.
Keiver Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I'll be ordering an unlocked one soon.
Chambahs Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Unlocked sucks, 75% of the good stuff for it doesnt work. Poor you. Edited December 30, 2008 by Chambahs
»Lynx Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 I've got an iPhone, but if I were going for anything else it would be the G1. -L
