AKA "Google Phone 1". --This page under construction.
Pros thru Cons (incomplete)- 20081211211139: Notable-con: Web Browser (reportedly "Chrome") advanced page handling displays (except for sub-scrolling), but cannot edit in in-page advanced editors (as HTML). I just visited a T-Mobile Store (in Lake Forest) and spent an hour trying it on Zoho Sheet, Zoho Docs, Zoho Wiki, Google Docs (sheet), and Yahoo Mail; also the guy next to me tried Hotmail. These are my results:
- 20081211211906: Complex documents displayed correctly, except as noted.
- 20081211211926: It was impossible to compose HTML, as in no case would
it allow text entry into HTML text block (as HTML email or wiki body)
being composed; typing characters would instead invoke search on them
in the Address bar. I tried this in Zoho Wiki, Yahoo Mail (see 20081211212314), and the guy next to me tried it in Hotmail. The rep was unsure of this at first, then said the
phones might have this feature disabled in the store, as he had no
complaints from their head tech Rep Tom (who was out, but who had used
the phone for over 1 month).
- 20081211212007: In Zoho Sheets, it was practically impossible to select a cell: only occassionally one could select a cell, and the selection seemed random.
- 20081211212109: In Zoho Sheets, if I could select a cell, I still couldn't enter into it directly; instead I still hand to enter into it from the cell-info bar. This might be related to 20081211211926 here.
- 20081211211918: It was impossible to scroll Zoho Sheets, as there were no scroll bar displayed and even if you could select a cell, with no movement keys it was impossible to move.
- 20081211212233: In Google Docs sheets, they would not open for edit (only read), and without warning.
- 20081211212314: In Yahoo Mail, even though HTML email compose was selected, it wouldn't open; it would open just for plain-text email. I could enter characters here and send a plain-text email.
- 20081211212616: The page loading was quite slow (about 15 sec per page). This could be because the signal strenght there was just 2 of 4 bars.
- 20081211212724: Over more than 15 min, it was fairly exuasting to use such a small screen & keyboard (note I touch-type about 50wpm on a QUERTY keyboard)
