T-Mobile G1 vs HTC Touch HD vs iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Storm

T-Mobile G1

We weren't sure about the G1 initially, but after spending some quality time with it, we think it's the start of something really good. The Google Android operating system is superb, and with a little work we can see it being one of the most popular mobile operating systems out there. We're not as taken with the G1's unflattering hardware, but it's functional and it works well enough.

One of the advantages the G1 has over its competitors is that it combines a full Qwerty keyboard with a very responsive touchscreen and an easy-to-use scroll ball -- perhaps not terribly elegant, but it's great for messaging and browsing the Web. We also prefer its matte finish to the iPhone's gloss -- you won't need to polish it to keep it clean all the time.

If you're looking for a device that can keep up with the iPhone but won't lock you in to Apple's infrastructure -- and you don't care that much about looks -- this is it. For more information read our T-Mobile G1 review.
