Hands on with the Google G1

Originally uploaded by T.H.Foster

I got to play around with the new Google phone at my local T-mobile store. I'm very impressed. Small(ish), solid feel, awesome little trackball. The touchscreen was easy to use, even with my fat fingers. I'm currently using a Dash, and I love my keyboard. I like the roomy, full qwerty on the G1 even better. The barcode scanner was a neat trick, not sure how usefuk it is. Something I was not aware of, the G1 comes equipt for VOiP, and for 10 bucks a month I can use wifi hotspots to make calls instead of using my minutes. Looks like it's time to pick up some extra work so I can drop $300 on it.
