i can haz push gmailz for ipwn?

MikeSWelch

I hope someone comes out with Exchange Active Sync support for it. That is a deal breaker for me since I need to get my email from work on my phone and I really don't feel like carrying two phones. Work will pay for my plan on any phone I want, but I have to be able to get my Exchange mail and I don't want to use a POP3 connection.

@catfewd:
i do agree. the quality is questinable ( physically speaking). ill have to take it for a spin before further concluding how long it will last with me (my phones usually take a beating).

also is there insurance covering the phone?
or is it a you break it your screwed thing ala the iphone?

@Substance_D:

that shows stupidity at its best -
take out the iphone out of your ass for a second and try to comprehend other devices that are better and have more potential than your ATT's personal bitch you carry around everyday....

Compass is sooo yesterday. It's all about inclinometer nowadays.

But seriously, Android looks very promising. Not sure about the phone, though. That little curve at the bottom just killed it for me.

Hmm. Gotta check out their SDK friendliness.

ripfire

is it me or does every photo leaked/real of the android phone looks like the sliding part is about to fall off, or at least sits at a slight angle from the rest of the phone? It pretty much screams out cheap construction...

First phone to offer push Gmail? That's the same thing you said in April...for not this phone.

he's just mad about the 25/35 a month internet service and the 179 price!

I hope compass direction is actually implemented well. So well, in fact, that everyone else has to copy it. Street view sounds sweet too.

@Substance_D:

bubble bubble... iPhone bubble. i kinda like it. hope inovation will go on on both platforms, bubbly iPhone and bubbly android.

Who let the Trolls out?

@Wegmans: If you are asking if someone could take an open source app and then charge for it then no. Nor can you take the code change it a little and then make it closed source. You can try but you'll get raped by a penguin.

@Substance_D: Is that iPhone jealousy I hear?

Tweak

@Substance_D: You're Mom loves it! :) I had too.

Scott

@Substance_D:

big bubbly colorful icons like the iPhone has?

Who let the Trolls out?

@Substance_D:

big bubbly colorful icons?
have you seen the iphone? come on man.
if you want to slam the phone try harder.

I hope someday the iphone has push.. as far as i can tell there aren't any reasons to even consider switching.. any innovations will just be adapted by App Store merchants... there's no copywrite, right?

Wegmans

@Substance_D: Yes, no touchscreen phones should have big bubbly colorful icons. The nerve!!

Android honestly looks like the kind of phone a retarded person would use. If they could use phones. It's got big bubbly colorful icons and large text and buttons...It just looks stupid. And the phone itself itself looks like a fisher price toy phone. Just thought I'd throw that out there, and get ready for some hardcore flaming.

@ashamaniq:
Damn you sure are shallow. But no worries, the interface will almost certainly be skinned in no time.

terebakashi

not impressed, I thought google would do a better job when it came to design. The lines they used to draw the battery life looks like 3 pixels thick.

ashamaniq

@xaflatoonx: he didn't actually say anything about the iPhone (owning it or otherwise)... he solely commented on his interpretation of the G1's aesthetic. You're reading into the responses that followed.

I hope Google make a better looking phone. This one is just so weird

@Kaiser-Machead on the Edge: Or Measothelioma. =)

I'm hoping this will open up the google contacts API so I can sync to my blackberry already!!

marc_wtih_a_c

First Phone to have push gmail?? I've had push gmail for free ever since I got my Blackberry Curve (and its been a couple months).

Haven't you people ever heard of blackberries before?? Push email is what they do

@jhcovert:

Point taken -

My apologies on the iphone bit added for no reason...

Gizmodo's apple biased coverage is taking its toll on me....

i just hope it gets kinda smaller, kinda prittier, but i think it's great, the whole deal of Sync with your web google account is great, c'mon, i can actually write my notes and my to do list on calendar and get it on the phone! if you have google talk, you will hit me anywhere from your pc, and u can also send e-mails and "push!" there they are. so, i would never ever have to reorganize contacts again on a phone.
I know i can save them on SIM, but i can't put pics, tons of numbers to one person, address...

i don't care google can read every single msg i send, i'm not a drug dealer(yet), it does seems to get my life easier.

it's like having those old Personal Organizers from CASIO but having the ability to check the data and insert data from anywhere (or at least, anywhere someone has a pc hooked up to net, something that's not too hard to find).

i guess it's like a dream comming true.

just need something smaller ok? i hate the iBrick, won't carry a gBrick either

laio

i wonder, since this is a open source phone, that you'd be able to change the designs of the icons on this phone. you should be able to because you can do it with a jailbroken iphone.

@Substance_D: 1/10
Try harder next time.

Sorry for the Anonymous reply style, but I felt it was appropriate.

Do you have to use gmail or google calendar? What about those of us who don't like the idea of Google knowing everything about them (and have our own website/email addresses)?

Also, how do you enable street view on google mobile? I just downloaded the newest version to my Tytn 2 and I don't see the option to enable it.
