Detailed Specs of the G1


Not surprisingly, the HTC-made G1 inherits a lot of the hardware from the HTC Touch Diamond and Pro. For example, they share the same 528MHz Qualcomm CPU, plus chips for Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi (b/g), and USB 2.0. The screen, of course, is quite different - it’s capacitive (meaning - the screen will feel like that of an iPhone and require a lighter tough) and has the resolution 320×480, which Windows Mobile doesn’t even support. Also different is the amount of RAM at 192MB, compared to 288MB found on the Touch Diamond and Pro.

Some readers may know this, but I recently learned, capacitive screens by definition are made of glass, with nothing ’soft’ layered on top — a hard glass surface (like the iPhone). If you see that a device has a capacitive screen, you don’t have to wonder if it’s glass as capacitive can’t be done with plastic.

So this has a glass screen? I was wondering if the screen was going to be “soft” plastic type, like my wife’s HTC Wing or harder like the iPhone.

Yep… glass… confirmed by HTC in this ‘hands-on’ (after I corrected the reviewer, who initially stated it was plastic): http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/20081001950/hands-on-with-the-t-mobile-g1-android-smartphone.html

I like how the processor is duel core unlike the shadow if a app freezs up you can just shut down the app not restart the whole darn phone.

I read somewhere they aren’t selling the white as a presale because of paint chipping away and revealing the plastic under it. but in the mean time they are preparing it for the release hopefully in the first bunch on the 22nd in store or on the next batch being released in early november..

No, you can’t set up your Hotmail account in the email software. A Gmail (or Hosted Google Apps) account is >required< to get past the power-up process, then you can add up to 4 other email accounts, POP or IMAP — but not Hotmail. You can however access your Hotmail via the web browser.
