The release year should not be 1958. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.252.182.64 (talk) 03:27, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
The "Bluetooth compatibility" section of the article seems unnecessary to me. It is simply a mirror of a list found at the T-Mobile forums. I removed it and replaced it with a link to the forums, but had my edit reverted. Does anyone else have an opinion on this? ThinkingInBinary (talk) 17:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Nobody has commented on this... I still think Wikipedia is the wrong place to put a list of Bluetooth devices compatible with the G1. It was originally simply a mirror of a thread in T-Mobile's forums, and it can vary as software updates fix things. It belongs on an Android wiki somewhere, not Wikipedia.
If nobody objects, I'm going to remove it. ThinkingInBinary (talk) 00:28, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I did not hear this mentioned in the video reference #12. Am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeek (talk • contribs) 02:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
A photo of the HTC Dream is needed. I tagged the article reqphoto.N2e (talk) 01:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
does this phone have GPS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMissileSilo (talk • contribs) 00:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
No wifi feature listed? According to http://t-mobileg1.com/g1-learn-features-details.aspx there is wifi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.201.121 (talk) 01:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
This: http://www.htc.com/www/product/g1/specification.html also says it has WiFi, I'm adding it. DtD (talk) 19:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
anyone know? --UltraMagnus (talk) 11:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Surely T-Mobile shouldn't be included in the article name, as the G1 will be on other networks (such as O2 in the UK). --Beeurd (talk) 20:45, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
It is possible to get the G1 unlocked from T-Mobile after 90 days,[2] so HTC Dream is a more appropriate article title, with T-Mobile G1 mentioned in the intro. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.68.145 (talk) 19:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
The CPU states hardware acceleration for Java in the page, true Dalvik VM is different from the Java VM but in reality the Java and Dalvik VMs use many of the same details and Dalvik would likely be accelerated as well as Java. Does anyone have any reason this would not work? If not then I'm going to change the CPU section back to stating acceleration. Nikkelitous (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Why would they use hardware (Java acceleration) and software (Dalvik) that's not compatible? It doesn't make sense. So the OS is unnecessarily slow? Is there a hack to use the hardware acceleration? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.68.145 (talk) 19:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
The make and model of the GPS Chip is needed. --DataSurfer (talk) 20:29, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Dream uses the GPS functionality provided by the MSM7201A chipset. --swetland —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.5.158 (talk) 21:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
The make and model of the Bluetooth chip is needed. Along with the Bluetooth profiles it supports. --DataSurfer (talk) 20:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
This article is US centric. The UK firmware that T-Mobile UK are shipping doesn't include a version of Street View and this should be reflected in the article. 81.151.180.90 (talk) 13:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Although I wasn't the original poster, surely it is actually pertinent to list the SDHC limit for the phone, because each phone or device as a reader that is not necessarily compatible with the whole standard.
So for some phones can handle an 8GiB SDHC limit but nothing larger. The G1 has hardware that that is actually limited to 32GiB in capacity so it is a pertinent thing to mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.180.90 (talk) 13:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Should this article also contain information about the Android Dev Phone 1? http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html Douglaswth (talk) 08:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
The image File:Android-logo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

User:Bihco has removed any mention of the color bronze several times now. I'm guessing this is stemming from a lack of availability for the color in the UK. If that is the case, it would be useful to note it in the article rather than removing information that is valid in the US. Also, I'm not sure whether there should be any mention of the color name switch from brown to bronze. Douglaswth (talk) 08:31, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Clearly this article is no longer just about the G1 but the ADP1 as well. With the release of the ADP1, it's become clear that the "T-Mobile G1" is simply T-Mobile's branding on the Dream, and not the hardware's name itself. The ADP1 actually identifies itself as "Dream" in certain settings menus. This also seems to be the standard for the articles for the other HTC phones, so why not? coolbho3000 (talk) 00:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay, the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 has been out in the market for over three months now. Has anyone seen a good article on it's success or lack of success in the market? How 'bout against the iPhone? Has the product reality lived up to the hype? If so, please add links here so we might improve the article. N2e (talk) 22:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Although the page specifies some arbitrary official figures regarding battery life, to be a balanced article about the G1 it really needs to mention at least some kinds of warning regarding the very crappy battery life with the stock battery. 86.133.180.2 (talk) 01:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Battery life is a big problem. My own experience is that with GPS on, using 3G the phone doesn't make it more than 12 hours on standby. It is the #1 complaint I hear from other users.
Mine can last a week as I don't use it heavily, its all down to how you use a phone.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.159.140 (talk) 02:40, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Don't know if this is too techie, but... the article lists the CPU as "dual-core". It actually has 4:
All this, plus:
All in a 13 x 13 x 1.4 mm package. There are separate RF and power management chips, 9x9mm and 7x7mm if memory serves. WiFi is an Atheros 6002. Bluetooth is another Qualcomm chip. See the Qualcomm page.
Obviously not all functions are supported in all OSs, nor would you necessarily want to. For example, TV looks nice, but remember the overhead of adding yet another antenna -- on top of the existing 2G, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS antennas -- plus the added battery drain. 76.195.252.202 (talk) 16:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I've created and linked the MSM7000 page now (and added a footnote regarding the confusing "dual-core" claim), which should (help to) clear things up; feel free to add info there. (Note that I originally just copied the above list, but that seemed like overkill and has in fact also been criticized for having an "ad" touch, so I shortened it. Pflanze2 (talk) 22:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Was there a discussion or consensus about the page move? If so, can I have a link to the discussion? Thanks. Law shoot! 16:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm actually very against this move as quite clearly HTC refer to this product as the "T-Mobile G1" [4]139.184.222.40 (talk) 12:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
How do people feel about removing most of the software section. This section is pretty much describing android and nothing specific to the dream. We should just mention that it runs Android for the most part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrismiceli (talk • contribs) 04:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Does MMS actually work for anyone without a data plan? The instructions in the link do not work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.66.135 (talk) 05:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
According to the article/tech specs, this phone overlaps with the iPhone's connectivity:
G1-- GSM 850 900 1800 1900 MHz GPRS/EDGE
Dual band UMTS 1700 2100 MHz HSDPA/HSUPA
iPhone-- Quad band GSM 850 900 1800 1900 MHz GPRS/EDGE
3G also includes Tri band UMTS 850 1900 2100 MHz HSDPA
Does that mean that one can get the same "3g speeds" for just raw upstream/downstream data on the G1 that one gets on the iPhone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
I am expecting to find a difference between Apple and Google in that if you use the Android SDK and associated tools, you can get root access, unlike with iOS which requires a jailbreak. My experience now though with current SDK against a phone with R30 but older doesn't necessarily apply to the situation when the device was new 2 years ago. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 19:57, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
