G1 1.5

Posted by Simon Judge, Freelance Mobile Developer in Firmware, phones on May 8th, 2009

My G1 updated to 1.5 this morning. Here are my initial thoughts…

  • My greatest previous criticism of unusable sluggish camera has been fixed.
  • The phone still doesn’t seem to keep hold of WiFi connections very well. Not as well as S60 or iPhone.
  • My installed apps that quickly toggle settings such as WiFi no longer work (because they can’t access these settings any more).
  • As with iPhone, tricky to write lots of text with onscreen keyboard.
  • Strange I was asked to accept new Android Market Terms of Service.
  • All my freeware applications work ok. Great!
