The HTC G1 mobile phone is exactly what the name suggests: a Google Phone. Known as the HTC Dream, it may not have the specifications needed to melt the heart of technology enthusiasts, but we believe that the HTC G1 mobile phone will make a good impression, even if it comes wrapped in a newspaper.

G1 is a prudent and conservative approach to introducing a new operating system to the mobile world. While the HTC G1 mobile phone is not, anyway you look at it, a low-end, it somehow deliberately ranks below the current offers of major manufacturers, both in terms of style and the features related to high technology.

With 117 x 55.7 x 17.1 mm in dimensions and 158 grams in weight, the HTC G1 is not the most portable phone that you can imagine. It is slightly larger than, let’s say the Sony Ericsson Xperia, which certainly is not the most compact phone on the market. On the other hand, it is slightly more flexible than the HTC Touch Pro. The HTC G1 has a great design, unlike any other smartphone on the market.

The bottom angle and the slide are the most notable aspects of design. The construction quality phone is quite good, having a case made of plastic which is smooth. On the front side it has a 3.2 inch touch screen and below it only a Menu button, a Back button, a direct navigation button and the Call and End buttons. For typing, the HTC G1 mobile phone has a generous full-QWERTY keyboard. The keys are well-sized, with enough space between them so you can easily write documents, emails or SMS.

The HTC G1 mobile phone is equipped with a 3.2 inch touch screen which is capable of offering a maximum resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. Image quality is amazing, with satisfactory levels of contrast and brightness. The 65K colors have a weakness when a single color gradient is shown. In all other aspects of the phone, we can say that it carries out its duties very well. Visibility in sunlight is flawless and the touch screen sensitivity is also very impressive. Even the finest of touches made the desired operation, but the only thing which is lacking from the HYC G1 is handwriting recognition.

When it comes to the camera, we expected mediocre performance, but I was amazed because I have never seen a camera as good as this in any other HTC models. Surprisingly, the G1 offers the best 3 megapixel camera on a smartphone and can compete successfully, and in some cases even overcome sensors from Sony Ericsson mobile phone cameras.

It is capable of taking photos at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and record clips at a speed of 30 fps. The images are clear and have a great quality of colors. Connectivity is also quite diversified. The HTC G1 mobile phone, being a Quad-Band (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100), offers many features like HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0.
