T-Mobile G1 The first android powered smartphone

i know it was the first one and it takes many different versions to get something right. The G1 was a major step forward to compete with the iPhone (which has just celebrated being 6 years old, from when it was first released to the world). There's a lot of history between Apple and Google, First of all, there's Eric schimdt who is Google's CEO. Well he was part of the Apple's board of directors and had some of the say that went behind the device and how Google products were going to be presented. There's many different features that have been recently taken out of iOS due to Google's contract with apple has ran out and apple didn't really want the name Google in their product anymore. The youtube application was taken out and Apple maps was reintroduced as a direct competitior to google maps. that's as much detail i'm going into, I might do another blog about it later.

Now for the original reason why i'm here, the T-Mobile G1 was a very ugly phone, compared to the phones that we have today, like the HTC one X or the Samsung galaxy S3. Nokia phones seems to be more prettier than the phones i've seen from the android side or the blackberry side.

There's other devices that are pig-ugly, THere's the kyocera echo and then microsoft Kin.

just a little side note, the T-mobile G1 is actually running jellybean and no it's not an official release, it's based of the cygenomod rom of jellybean. It's certainly not fast and it's certainly not stable but it just shows that even the first android powered smartphone has the latest operating system on it.
