Google's offline Gmail demo reveals seemingly US-bound HTC Magic -- is this the T-Mobile G2? {Engadget}
Feb 19th 2009 4:49PM i am getting this for sure when it drops.. i believe in the leaked HTC roadmap there 3 devices that looked similiar to this (the sapphire) one for vodaphone, one for tmo/tmousa, and one for DoCoMo. so this is for sure believeable, i like it but think that the screen actually looks bigger in the hand that the g1 though spec wise it isnt. In the video reviews of the htc magic they had different hardware buttons from what will be released on vodafone, but i imagine the Tmobile interation, they will keep the button scheme the same, which i happen to like, im also liking the bigger trackball....
T-Mobile says it'll cover 200M pops in 3G by end of year {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 17th 2009 12:49PM tmobile might be the fourth largest carrier, but its coverage ranks higher than sprint and AT&T, as stated in the consumer reports magazine of dec 2008, they tested like 60 cities and tmobile placed second in like 90 percent of them, omlu behind verizon (which is so expensive). The magazine went on to say that using sprint and At&T should be a last resort as coverage and customer service are both bad and only go to them as a last resort..
My EDGE speeds in cincinnati rival that of 3g speeds of AT&T, as my g1 running on EDGE actually beat my friends Iphone 3g running 3g in 3 out of 5 test all with cleared caches.
i cant wait til cincinnati gets 3g, though EDGE is pretty fast here so will see how much of a difference it makes.
Is T-Mobile's data service down for you? {Engadget}
Feb 15th 2009 10:39PM im rocking GPRS in monfort hieghts (cincinnati) when i usually have EDGE, tho seems that my G1 handles even GPRS pretty fast, its about as fast as EDGE on my old shadow and when im using EDGE on my G1 is about the speed of AT&T 3G as my g1 beat the iphone 3g on 3g vs my g1 on edge, For at&t being so big and formally the 1st bigest network there coverage is pathetic, all my friends with iphones drop phone calls and have delays in text and its rediculous for what they pay for there crap service 80 bucks for 900 min? of which half are dropped calls.. thats lame..
AT&T ranks just above sprint in overall coverage in all the major cities Consumer Reports magazine covered, tmobile killed att and was just below verizon....
im being a wishful thinker but im hoping cincinnati's data issues are because there testing and prepping the network for 3g.. just wishing

Days to 1 million: the smartphone wars {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 29th 2009 11:19AM Good chart, for those that doubt the G1's success, this chart proves that a Generation 1 OS, and the first phone to run it, did pretty damn well and in fact better than the original Iphone, and the storm, which says aot as Nokia, and BB are all well established phone manufactures, and Apple is a damn cult, so for the Android operating system and the g1 do this well on the smallest major carrier and the fact that it was released in only 27 markets in store and online, is pretty damn great. I am really excited for the future of android, In 5 years i can see Android running on hundreds of smartphones around the world and taking over Symbians world wide strong hold and Apples US strong hold.
The BB storm sold becuase of its BB name and the novelty of the first BB touch screen, as far as it being a competive phone, its not, theres nothing great about it , a few of my friends have them and there the worst bb i have ever laid hands on.
I played with the Nokia 5800 (tube) on my vaca to Chicago a few weeks ago, in the Nokia Flagship store on Michagan Ave., its a really nice phone but not somehing i would want but i almost bought it for my gf as its not priced very high becuase it doesnt have north american 3G but im on tmobile and they wouldnt support there 3g anyway. lol i also got to see one of those rediculous Vertu handsets and they ugly and expensive as crap, id take a G1 anyday over a Vertu

BlackBerry Storm: the aftermath {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 23rd 2008 6:08PM yea i went and checked it out and wanted to compare it to my g1 and hands down i am so happy i have my g1 and not this buggy lagging slow POS, it was hard to type on, the browser was not near as good as the g1 or the iphone..
also the 3 verizon stores i visited in the 2 malls i went to, all had less than 25 storms to sell, to be exact one had 25, one had 15 and one had 5... ha and the guys at the store were telling a customer like "yea these things are selling like crazy" and i asked how many you guys get, he said 5 and i almost laughed, i was thinking like 5 hmmm wow thats really selling like crazy, those verizon guys are gonna get big commission yo.
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 unboxed, played with on video {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 13th 2008 1:11PM whats better about the g1 over the x1 is the OS. win mo 6.1 is very inferior to what i've seen (and played with at the store) on the g1 and its android operating system. but if say the x1 had android then there is no denying that the x1 would be better. its just i am a win mo user now and have become a very dissatisfied customer, its so slow and freezes up .
now say when win mo release 7.0 this might change and hopefully they address the issues people are unhappy with.
but as of right now, if i had the choice i would still take my not so pretty g1 over a very slow and clunky x1 with win mo. x1 wins the style award but g1 takes the cake with best performance and useability.
