some may say that the t-mobile g1 may have no practical use by today's standards other than a piece of nostalgia for yesteryear fortunately Android is more resilient than that I'm Joel evite for pocket now this is going hands-on with the t-mobile g1 and putting to rest once and for all android fragmentation really doesn't matter one of the things we use our handheld devices for social networking as you can see here facebook works although the layout is somewhat different the speed isn't all that great and it's a little bit different of a user experience in what you've come to recognize and expect if you're looking for a Twitter client you're not going to find one there is no official Twitter client that supports android 1.6 however HootSuite is available and it consumes both Facebook and Twitter information if you're looking for other social networks Google+ is missing as is Pinterest and Instagram as well however some of the others like Instagram have some more generic third-party versions that will you tie into their service if you're looking for a note-taking app you can give up your Google keep but Evernote Evernote works just fine of course what a smartphone is really for is making phone calls so as you can see the dialer looks a little bit old but it's still the dialer it still works it still functions it still makes and receives phone calls very very well of course you also have your contacts you have text messaging you have calendar you've got all the stuff that you need and all of that works today the same as it did way back when this was introduced so there you go we took a look at some of the things that you could and some of the things you couldn't do with your HTC dream or t-mobile g1 as you can tell there are a lot of things that you can still do even though it's android 1.6 even though it is a very very low powered device as far as specifications go that'll do it for now thanks very much for watching if you like what you saw please give the video a thumbs up and share it with your friends on all social networks we're there we'd love to see you there 24 pocket now showing off nostalgic devices like the HTC g1 I'm Joe Levi thanks for watching
