Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
Turn the G1 on its side and push the display upwards, and the screen performs a curious out-and-back arc slide to reveal a five-line Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard feels solid and secure – for some reason after seeing the early pictures of the G1, we expected it to feel loose and wobbly – and the sliding action is both well weighted and well damped.
The keyboard itself is rather fine - the separate, slightly raised rubber buttons being just about the right size and having just about the right amount of resistance. It's also very subtly backlit.

With the screen raised, the G1 looks a little odd, but truth be told it sits in the hands very nicely, allowing your right thumb to access the main controls while still being able to reach over and assist the left thumb with typing duties when required.
The G1's screen may be a little smaller than the iPhone's but it benefits from having the same resolution stretched over a smaller area and is every bit as clear, bright and crisp.
Phone cameras have never been an HTC strength, and the 3.2-megapixel job in the G1 won't change that. There's no flash and no video recording capability. It's still better than the camera in the iPhone, but that's not saying much. The screen mount has a habit of moving when you take pictures making it a hard to get a solid grip on the device unless held exactly right.
Signal reception with the Wi-Fi radio proved to be very good indeed as did the speed of the GPS receiver - all the more surprising as the system doesn't appear to be assisted, if the spec sheet is anything to go by. GSM reception was also well up to par, the G1 usually showing the same strength of signal as the HTC Touch Dual we held alongside it. Call volume and clarity were also fine, while the phone proved comfortable to hold against the head and in the hand. The little kink at the bottom of the handset doesn't actually makes any difference.

"...If we had to find fault, it would be that to go back a page you have to tap the menu button, then tap More... in the contextual menu to see the Back command. It should really be one of the commands in the contextual menu..."
that sounds almost as annoying as this website i frequent.
they have a load of links to articles on their front page which, for some inexplicable reason reside on two different domains of the main site. so [just to invent a random example] if the main domain was 'elreg.co.uk' you might click on an article link on the frontpage about a new mobile phone OS and be taken to 'elreghardware.co.uk' for the story.
often whilst reading an article you'd click through three or four of pages of the article itself and a similar number of pages of comments. then, after you'd finished reading, you'd obviously want to go back to the index of the site again to choose the next article you wish to read. instinctively you'd click the familiar 'elreg' logo at the top of the page, thinking it would take you back to the frontpage of the original 'elreg.co.uk' domain - only to find that, instead, it now takes you to the frontpage of the 'elreghardware.co.uk' domain you've been transported too - and that domain has a completely different set of frontpage article links! to get back to the original 'elreg.co.uk' domain you have to either hit your back button about half a dozen times , search for it in your history menu, or manually retype it into your browser's URL bar.
incredible how often you come across crappy navigation on the intarwebs, isn't it?.... although at least google don't have the hubris to criticise other peoples' before putting their own house in order!

"I like being awkward"
Me too. Shame it's on T-mobile, which has almost no coverage where I live, otherwise I'd buy one just to annoy the Jesus addicts. Still, Google are richer than Croesus (and Apple) so we may see some improvement...
