New Toy!!! Yay!!
COMING ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!
DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS? GO GOOGLE ‘MOTO MILESTONE’. IT’S MY MILESTONE!!!
Roarrrrrrrrr, I want it!!
Why I fancy the device:
Software wise – the luxurised user interface! Flash 10 support!!
HTC likes tweaking OSs… I still remember their Touch Diamond and how they tweaked WinMo. That was not a very good experience for me. But I hope this time HTC is doing a good job! I heard G1 will eventually get the same cupcake update. That will be awesome!
Hardware wise – 3.5mm audio jack! 512mb ROM 288mb RAM! 5mp camera with AF!!
These hardware attractiveness are irreplaceable. For once I am really moved. But will I buy it? Maybe no. Because it doesn’t have a physical keyboard –_- and I hate the important information being covered when I have to type on the soft keypad. It’s just my personal preference.
I don’t really mind waiting a little bit longer for my G1 to get the update… If T-Mobile UK is not going to release this update, I will think about unlocking the G1, then have it rooted, and installed the update manually. Some people have already done it, and they are happily enjoying Flash on their G1 now!
it’s been two weeks. android cupcake rocks!
got this update two weeks ago. it’s a long waiting system patch that adds significant features to the high spoken mobile os android. after using it for a while, i really feel this update rocks!
- the on-screen touch keyboard saves a lot work sliding out the ph.keyboard during most applications e.g. search youtube, search contacts, etc.. the accuracy is amazingly high. by turning on the vibration feedback in settings, worries of miskeyin is no more.
- the phone now can record videos with sound. and the video recorded can be uploaded to youtube directly from the phone, wow!! the quality is decent, with just a 2mp camera after all. but it’s a huge feature to add in, i must say.
- built-in G-sensor tweak, eventually! when the phone’s rotated, the screen gets rotated as well! this function can now be turned on via system settings.
- i don’t use the bt stereo that much, but at least there is such ability, awesome!
- the graphical UI has been modified a little, more elegant i’d say. sys speed has improved quite a bit, boot-up logo is changed.
the gadget now is my only favourite. WinMo is too crappy, ifone is nice but without a physical keyboard, it will never enter my selection candidates zone. Nokia…er…i swear i’ll never buy this shit again. i’ll share my exp in the future if there’s a chance.
what i expect from G1 now lands on third party support. i need a on-screen soft Chinese input method, one that’s compatible with 1.5 cupcake. official iplayer supported by BBC (come on! make one for android, will ya?!), full screen contact picture display when dialing (i miss my Sagem MyX-8…). ahhh i really wish everyday is christmas…
There should be some kind of QC for Android market

I had my G1 since Jan this year. I visit the market at least once every day. Downloading apps to try people’s new idea is fun most of the time, but not always. Because some software are defectively unusable.
Google is not like Apple, it allows developers to publish their apps to the market with little restriction. Some have serious bugs as they’ve not been fully tested before release. This results in a mess-up in some consumers’ devices, which leads to dissatisfaction to their purchase. I sometimes feel annoyed by it too. Thanks to my loyalty to google’s services, I haven’t betrayed my G1, YET.
I read from TechCrunch.com that most of G1 owners enjoy downloading apps. But 43% only download free apps. Google launched its paid software only two months ago after it released RC9 update. All the purchases are allowed for a full refund within 24 hours ONCE. I have only bought one game from the market just for a try. It’s very addicting so I kept it. I also tried some other paid apps and games but they were like crap, function and stability wise.
App developers could be irresponsible, but Google can’t. For the sake of its consumers, Google should set up some kind of quality control for its app market. The sooner the better.
