First T-Mobile G1 user review

[kaziko]

except the battery charger that makes the phone hot, all cons are a matter of software which is not a real problem!!

This might just be the specific model I have... prerelease phones are never the same as the ones that are released to consumers.

Hopefully the memory leak, application stuttering, and file folder issues will get fixed in an update (along with tethering support). Though, I wouldn't be surprised if the file foldering issue isn't on purpose.

Remember that Google is an advocate of "tags/labels and searching, not folders". They do this in their bookmarks application, and in their mail application. I wouldn't be surprised to see that philosophy continue on to Android, despite the fact that they could, and should, support both. (netvouz is a great example of an on-line bookmark service which does both tagging and foldering)

Thanks kaziko for the review. Just a question: is-it possible to charge the phone via a usb cable plugged on a computer? thank you for your answer.

I have a question similar to that. I've heard rumors that you will not be able to use some/all of the applications while charging the phone. Is that really the case?
