IPhone’s rival is here :- GI Google phone


Here is the laydown of the GI Google phone launched on Tuesday

Five good things about GI


1] Capacitive touch screen: the GI has a capacitive touch screen just like the Iphone this means it is very responsive when you touch it

2] Easy to use Interface : the user interface is intuitive and dosent leave you wondering why did they do that : the layout is easy to understand

3] Having a keybord unlike the Iphone the Gi has a real physical keybord for typing out emails and messages



4] Great google services integration : it couldn’t be any more tightly knit. Gmail Google map with street view Google search You tube and others are built in the phone and gret work

5] Upgradeability: The android UI is open source and can be upgraded and added to overtime.

Five Flaws


1] The hardware: The GI feels cheap the plastic aren’t high quality.

2] The camera: the GI may have a 3 mega pixel camera with auto focus but it doesn’t have a flash nor a vanity mirror it is a bit slow.

3] The keyboard :- the buttons are small and flat.

4] No headphone jack :- the GI does not have a 2.5-mm or 3.5-mm headset jack. That means you have to use a USD adapter if you want to listen to music

5] No PC syncing: - There is no desktop syncing client available for the GI. That means if you want to sync your contacts calendars etc you have to it all through the internet.
