Weekly Post 9

The Google Phone

http://gizmodo.com/5062977/t+mobile-g1-google-android-phone-review

This review of the Google phone is seriously tempting me to get on during Christmas. The pictures of the phone that are included in the review are great and give me a good impression of this "Smartphone", which is a big competitor with Apple's Iphone. The characteristics of this phone that impress are that it is multi-tasking, solid and simple. This phone has plenty of applications and cool tools. For example, more than one program can run on the phone. The phone is just like a computer since it has tons of apps including Google Maps, browser, a music player, IM Messenger and mail. In addition, the body of the phone looks like a HTC is just incredible. Different to the Iphone, the Google Phone has a keyboard (just like a HTC). However there are a few minor problems with the keyboard, since the scroll bar tends to be very sensitive and the keys on the keyboard are not raised high enough. As a result, it is very hard to type text messages on the phone, since it is not easy touch-typing. Overall, I believe the Google Phone will be a hit as soon as it comes out.
