G1 for 30 Days

I've bought the G1 Android phone from T-Mobile in the U.S., and I have 30 days to figure if I wanna keep it.

If you have feedback, I'm at marc@disquiet.com.

By the way, this is my main website: disquiet.com. It's broadly about personal technology, but specifically to the extent that technology mediates music and sound and related art.

Countdown, 15 Days: Midway

Halfway through my 30-day test period, I’m less than sold on the device. As I noted yesterday, too many connection errors when using email and too many blank stares from the web browser. Otherwise, it works OK, and some of it is quite amazing, like the Shazam app (which the iPhone also has), which can recognize songs for future reference. I assume there are some great apps waiting for the fee-based part of the store to be turned on. We’ll see what’s in there. I’m going to drop by a T-Mobile shop and ask about my error messages.
