So though you won’t be able to rock the T-Mobile G1 as your daily driver (if you win, of course) when the ball drops to 2009, you’ll certainly have 10 more days to enter the Win a Smartphone contest!
So to remind you of what you can win here at Android Central: the T-Mobile G1, the BlueAnt Z9 Bluetooth Headset, and SPE Screen Protectors. Not a bad deal to ring in the new year!

Round Robin: Rene’s Video Review of the T-Mobile G1
So let me fill you in with how the Smartphone Round Robin works: Every editor of the SPE network sites trade in their phones for a spin with another smartphone. So not only will you be able to see my Androidified opinion about the iPhone 3G, AT&T Fuze, Blackberry Bold, and Palm Treo Pro — you’ll be able to see what everyone else thinks about our beloved G1 and the exciting Android OS!
Since Android is the newest kid on the block and essentially non-existent outside the US and UK, you’ll definitely see some mix ups and false starts from the get go. Our good friend Rene takes the first crack at the T-Mobile G1 and comes away…confused. To give you a preview, the plethora of input options is too much for him to handle!
Go on over to The iPhone Blog to check out Rene’s thoughts and see his video on Android and the T-Mobile G1. I agree with a lot of what he’s saying but believe after a few more days he’ll see that though the Android way is different, it is also a great way to go. Head on over to give him a piece of your mind!
Ed. note: Rene’s video is hilarious. Make sure you’re not eating lunch or reading in a meeting because food pieces will fly and hooting & hollering will surely occur. Just warning ya!

The iPhone Blog Compares T-Mobile G1 & iPhone 3G
The iPhone Blog recently compared hardware v. hardware of the iPhone 3G and the T-Mobile G1. Unsurprisingly, the final tally went toward the iPhone’s favor, they seemed to be quite surprised by everything that the T-Mobile G1 offers, to quote:
Plainness aside, the T-Mobile G1 is the perfect device to launch Android with. Why? Because it includes all the popular input methods: touch-screen, keyboard, and even a trackball. Developers are able to create versatile apps that will extend past the T-Mobile G1 because of all the input methods available.iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, they should all be excited for the potential of Android because it only makes those old guards innovate even more. With the T-Mobile G1 being the new kid on the block, we should expect more and more comparisons with every device. We have good money that the T-Mobile G1 will hold its own.
