Review HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) with Google's new mobile Android
 | Finally launched the new cell phone with Google's Android operating system here in Germany, just months after U.S. release. For some time I was looking to buy a smartphone, but I did not want to be an iPhone from Apple. My first impressions are very good, especially with regard to hardware, I can say that: - It is beautiful, especially the black - The keyboard is comfortable to type. - There appears to be very sensitive to risk, alias comes with a plastic protection for the screen and a small bag. - The screen has almost the same size as the Iphone, missing only a few mm, the resolution is great, and the touch works very well. - To aid navigation still has the scroll. - The camera is great, 3.2MP high focus. - Bluetooth is stereo (I'm going to buy a headset for that) - The only thing I did not like was the position of the headset, because with them online is bad typing. |
But for the new operating system Android I think the numbering is wrong, this version should not be here to 1.1 and yes to (0.alguma thing), there are many things that are still unfinished, but will certainly improve a lot in the next months, major flaws:
- Has no way to turn off the internet and it downloads even with no applications running and apparently with the update off.
- No task manager, so it is not possible to know what is running.
- Still does not support bluetooth stereo
- No bookmark in the browser, but Chrome is better than the native Opera.
But some things surprised me, like:
- Integration with my Google account, he brought my calendar and contacts automatically and now I have Gmail contacts who were in the Sim-Card.
- Changing the photo of the contact in Gmail (Web site) that picture appears when the person calling. Directly it is not possible for the picture on contact.
- Quantity of good, free programs in the Android Market.
- Looks very pretty, with transition effects and transparency.
- Very fast in responding to any command.
- Intuitive, but you must learn what changes are made when you click the item and if he keeps clicked, including being able to copy and paste with ease.
For now this is, I test the programs I downloaded and put a resume in the coming days.
