Embarrasing. Really makes you wonder what else has slipped through, if the software quality control is that lax.

I tried the G1 yesterday and have to say I was very impressed the unit I held was well built and the keyboard was great.

I am converted! but as I have to carry a huge contacts book with me 900+ syncing is a real issue for me at present, however I have no doubt that this is going to be one of a number of new OS "more ARE coming next year"! that will start to transform the "smart phone" market.

Took mine back and got it replaced with a new one as there were a few issues. My big problem is the battery life, its so poor, i have to charge it sometimes twice a day !!!

I still get the impression that, for all the attempted hype and Android-based excitement, this is a real flop. What's really good about this phone? What's good about Android?

The battery life thing is really worrying - this is a mobile OS, supposedly designed that way from the ground up - surely they should have made it more power efficient as a priority? I can understand a lot of things being a bit beta in such a new OS, but it should never have launched as a product without at least a day's comfortable battery life.

I should have gussed the battery would have been bad as its an HTC made phone and every phone i have from HTC has had a poor battery.

I think in time there will be some great phones on this platform out there which will get close to the iphone, which for me is still the best phone (not smart) out there.

To be fair, all HTC's other phones are WinMo, and WM tends to have pretty poor battery life too, but not as bad as some of the G1 horror stories I've been reading. How big is the battery on the G1, in "mah"? I mean the hardware is broadly similar to many WM phones out there (same processor etc) so it really comes down to two variables - the size of the supplied battery, and the efficiency of the OS and applications...
