T-Mobile G1 Faster Than iPhone 3G

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the couldn't-be-much-slower dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET UK have run some very simple in-house tests comparing the T-Mobile G1's 3G connection against the iPhone 3G's. Result? The G1 loaded Web pages almost twice as fast as the iPhone's. Of course, the test only applies to the CNET UK offices if you're being scientific about it, as stated, but it's still impressive nevertheless."

    3 and 4, per the conclusions of the author.

    Don't worry, though, I'm sure some apple fan will be along shortly to debunk it.

  2. I actually quite like the trackball by grahamsz · · Score: 5, Informative

    I didn't think i would, but it's a nice touch.

    Still by the time it's got a keyboard, a touch screen, some buttons and a trackball... it feels like it's perhaps over doing it.

    Do you think it's ugly in person? Like my last HTC device, it's much nicer in your hand than in pictures.

    The integration between the phone and third party apps is wonderful.

    When a call comes in that isn't in my phone book, the whitepages app does a reverse number lookup and shows that on screen.

    I can use shazam to identify music and then go straight to youtube or the amazon mp3 store to buy or listen to it.

    I can scan the barcode of a book, compare the prices at online stores and it'll tell me which local booksellers have it and give me driving directions to the store (although it only seems to work for b&n)

    Of course that's all mostly android and not the device.
