Google isn’t jumping on the cell phone advertising bandwagon- they are creating and innovating it!

@Sojizy – It seems like you have to slide the keyboard open to view horizintal when u r in camera mode, etc. But when u r in an app, I think it depends on if the developer added that feature where u can just view it horizontally without opening the keyboard. At least for now anyway. I could be wrong though, just judging off of what I’ve seen so far.

I think this phone looks real cool!
Yep There are fears for viruses but then what stops a developer to release a sort of anti-virus app on the android market!
It’s all hypothetical anyways!

@A3 – personally I think the black looks best. The brown also looked much better than the pics show but the white just didn’t seem right, for me anyway. It was fun holding it I just wish I had longer to check it out. Hopefully tomorrow I might.

The phone looks great. I did have a question though. Does this phone have an on-screen keyboard and an accelerometer. I really don’t want to have to open my phone for every single text entry and if I want a horizontal view would I have to slide the phone open?

i had the opportunity to hold the G1 for about a minute today. the photos really don’t do it justice. its not high gloss but the flat color (mine was black) has a very sophisticated, business look. the touch screen was set to the dial pad which was black, gray and white accents. it had almost a smokey look about it. the slide part works like a charm, and felt very solid both on sliding out and back in. the keyboard was a little too flush with the surface, for me anyway, but very easy to use. i can’t wait to get my own

What’s the likely hood that a flash plug in can be made for the G1?
