g1 sorta sucks

[redranger30]

i mean yeah it looks awsome!
and its new but
theres still alot of things that has to be fixed
like opening annd closing the screen freezes the phone
and you toch something and it dont even react to the press till you press it twice. (sometimes)
the chin somewhat bothers when you want to type
it looses internet connection at times
and the zoom in and out buttons when you're on the web, they suck!
n yeah thats all folks

lately i've had to double press on links twice, but none of the other tuff has come up for me. as for the zoom, irecomend more use of the magnifying glass (bottom right of the screen, when zoom is up) and the track ball, that made it much better for me. and like you said its new and can/will be fixed.

I think that's all personal opinion, yea stuff has to be fixed but that's nothing new with any phone. At least with this one you have an option of updating it.

Mine hasn't frozen and responds pretty well. I've never had a problem with internet connection.

Also, I like the zoom in/out buttons. Like I said, all personal opinion.

I could talk about how firmware will get updated blah blah. But all I'll say is I like the phone more than any other phone I've ever owned and that's alot.

Wow look another G1 gripe thread. Thank you for your opinion, for being the 100th identical thread, you win a big fat sarcastic response! Congratulations. I am absolutely, personally ecstatically happy for you. On top of all of this, you also get exclusive access to the hot new function found all over the webdernets called "search" - It rocks the socks off of your favorite, and most hated forums.

Also, they cannot "fix" the physical form of the phone, although I do like to think that it could have been made better also. This freeze when flipping.. don't know what you mean, take your defective phone back, mine flips the orientation faster than all other accelerometer phones..

The zoom function works fine for me once the page is loaded, much like all other 'smartphones' - And haven;t had much of a problem with having to double press things, maybe it's when you're not zoomed in and didn't press exact enough or made a slight motion? Also could be one of those things that your fingers need to get experienced to? Learning the iPhone touch screen was kind of a hassle for me (exact pressing spots, etc), but got easy of course after some light use..

Anyhow, happy Halloween!

SO how is the master plan coming? Got room for any embittered IT guys? I've always wanted to use a death ray, and figure that my imagination could be considered training and experience.

Let me know - resume on demand.

I Guess Your Not Ready For Something Different And That Is Somewhat Understandable... I Believe This Phone Is ROCKING and Since Its New There Are More Things To Come... Imagine What It Could Do In 1 Year...

Every Item in reality has its good and bad sides... I love my G1 but that doesnt mean it is not lacking in certain areas...especially the basic phone Areas...

I still want Video recording and a real video player... not the 2 junky ones on the market that dont do some of my videos justice

The Camera is crappy, even though it takes good pictures... I need more options when I am in camera mode (Brightness, color, tint, timer, sound on/off, variable sounds and so on) Not only the location and prompt after capture.

I cant even think about most right now...

All T-mobile did was set up a plan to use with the phone... no problem with them
All Google did was create an OS (Android) for the phone to run on... but the OS still needsa million miles to go (And they are lazily leaving it for the developers - whom I have no issues with... )
All HTC did was create the hardware (with its own limitations - especially the battery)

True, G1 sorta sucks.... BUT BUT BUT, it is still great, and greater than most if not all.
