What others are saying?
Jason Chen at Gizmodo says:
This isn’t something you’re going to give your mom for Christmas, but if you’re an adventuresome gadget guy with some money to spend ($179) on a totally new, pretty exciting venture, then why not?
Tom Samiljan at Switched says:
If you’re a bit of a phone nerd who likes to try out new apps and don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, the G1 is just right. If you just want good bang for your buck on a smart phone, the G1 is also a good bet.
PhonesReview cites:
You won’t get as much pleasure if you look at the Google G1, it’s not as aesthetically pleasing by a long shot.
