Google Ion

We expect nothing less than perfection from the Google Ion. Sorry Google, but you’ve spoiled us. Google’s focus on extraordinary user experience, as seen on their search engine, we will accept nothing less than the best from the Google Ion. Hold on here, I think that we need to start with the basics.


How does it sound when I make a phone call? I know you’re thinking, “Of Course it makes good calls!” But, how many times have we bought an expensive phone, and it made sub-par phone calls? Let’s find out how the Google Ion rates.

According to the insiders who have access to the new Google Ion, calls are completed without a hitch. Reception is good, except for in a few areas since you are dependent on T-Mobile’s service. As far as the conversation is concerned, you will never have to say ‘can you hear me?’ again. The battery life handles a luxurious 6.5 hours. Not many touch screen phones can compete with that. Stand by time is charted at 600 hours. Now, that is impressive! That’s 25 days of available power. 600 hours of standby is subject to how many calls you make. Obviously, the more calls you make on the Google Ion, the less standby time.

Are you ready to dig into the hip Google Ion features? With the Google Ion, you can access the Microsoft server and use an installed application which syncs your email address book. Now you don’t have to spend endless nights typing all your emails into your new phone. There are also lots of applications that let you upload videos, watch videos, take pictures and listen to stereo Bluetooth in one touch.

They’ve made their audience wait, and wait, and wait. But is the Google Ion going to woo us back, or will we stick up our noses in disgust over the lack of applications and ‘coolness?’ Will we switch our affections to the Blackberry, or dare I say it, the iPhone? Now I went too far, but this crowd is ready to get the show on the road with the latest and greatest Google Ion.

The G-1, or the original Google Ion, wasn’t very pretty, but it had some neat bells and whistles. The applications were nice and made Internet browsing and searching quick and easy. Hopefully the Google Ion will at least make us proud to carry with its overwhelming beauty.

The Google Ion comes in the colors of Merlot and black. Also, the price is a reasonable $199. Its competitors, the Blackberry and iPhone, are in this price range and the Google Ion is ready to compete. The applications on the new Ion are slick and easy to navigate. You can upload videos to YouTube at a touch, and listen to a 4 GB miniSD card full of your favorite tunes on stereo Blackberry. How cool is that?

The Android operating system in the Google Ion is the latest thing. When the G-1, the first version of the Google created phone, came out, it was the first phone with the Android os. But after the Google Ion is release in late July, 2009, there are hundreds of phones scheduled for sale with the Android operating system. Apparently, the Android is a nice os. But will it be enough? Will the buyers line up for the Google Ion and run home beaming in delight? That is to be determined. The new color options and sophisticated applications peak my interest. I’m willing to give Google Ion a mulligan for the long wait, as long as I can get one in Merlot.

I was all geared up to check out the new phone from Google and HTC, but they keep changing the name! First it was the Google Ion, and then the HTC Magic and now finally the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. Talk about a mouthful! Fine, name it something long and cumbersome, just as long as it delivers all the goodies that I’ve come to love!

So what does the Google Ion/T-Mobile MyTouch 3G do that makes it so much better than its first version, the T-Mobile G1? The big deal with the G1 is that Google is involved. Google developed an Android operating system that gives users a better Internet experience. Hence, why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a Google Ion . . . er . . . the T-Mobile MyTouch . . . You get the point.

I’m a big Internet geek and just love it, sorry if that offends, but I don’t have a problem with it. Many G-1 owners love their G-1, but it has also surfaced that it’s a phone that only a programmer could love. I may have lost out on a long-term love relationship with the G-1, but I will not let the Google Ion (It’s a pet name at this point) get away!

The Google Ion doesn’t have the slide out keyboard, which makes it much slimmer. It comes with a hearty 4GB SD card, which all of us hard-core phone users need. Of course it has stereo Bluetooth (of course!), and 600 hours of standby and 6 hours of actual talk time. Overall, the improvements on the Google Ion make it neck and neck with the Blackberry, iPhone, and Pal Pres mobile phones running around.

I never got into the whole Blackberry thing, so I could be a bit biased, but let’s face it, the Google Ion is my baby and I’m going after it!

If you are looking for a cheap and inexpensive phone then you should consider purchasing the Google Ion. The Google Ion is one of the newest phones in the world and it was developed by one of the most well known companies in the world: Google. Unlike other phones, the Google Ion has an extremely friendly user interface.

Another nice part about owning a Google Ion is that you will not have to worry about being in dead zones constantly With other phone carriers such as T-Mobile you will find that you lose service in many different regions of the country. However, the Google Ion is supported by AT & T which has some of the best cell phone service in the entire country. If you want a cell phone that will give you service almost everywhere in the country then the Google Ion is certainly the phone for you!

The Google Ion is also an extremely durable phone. Unlike other phones such as the Blackberry, the Google Ion will not break easily if you drop it on the ground. In fact, the Google Ion was dropped off of the top of a small building and it did not even break!

The Google Ion is also a great phone because of the size of the buttons. Many other phones such as the LG Flare have small buttons which results in people with large fingers pressing multiple buttons at once. The Google Ion has large buttons which prevents this from happening! Either way… the Google Ion is one of the best cell phones that is currently on the market!

You’ve heard about it. You’ve read about it. You’re ready for more. Here are all the gritty details you’ve been waiting for about the Google Ion.

If you love their search engine and ingenuity, then the Google Ion is a definite must see. The Google Ion, made by HTC has vastly improved over its big brother, the T-Mobile G1. The ion has all the standard features we have come to love in our smart phones, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, easy access to all of our music and phone applications, a sleek design and a bevy of customization options. That being said, let’s dive into what we love and kind-of hate about the Google Ion.

Good Google Ion

First of all, call quality is excellent. After all, this is the primary purpose, but not all high-end phones can say they accomplish this. The touch screen is a roomy 3.2 inches, which makes navigation easy on the touch screen. Graphics and pictures show beautifully. Picture taking and video record are intuitive and easy to access. As far as spec details, the Google Ion is quite impressive. It holds Microsoft Windows Vista or XP Sp2, 288 MB of installed RAM and 512 MB of ROM. Application junkies will love all the goodies included. There is a YouTube application for one touch video uploads, USB mass storage and syncing, Google talk, and the GPS integrates with Google Maps. The video program also offers playback.

Bad Google Ion

There is nothing truly awful about the Google Ion. There are just a few tweaks and changes that us phone junkies would make if the world moved with the snap of our fingers. The pictures from the camera app were OK. They weren’t blurry or anything, but the colors were not as vibrant as we have come to expect. Video quality is also just OK. As with the first version, the Google Ion does not have a standard head jack. You must use a micro-USD adapter. That being said, Bluetooth is probably more practical, but I would still like the head jack option. One last personal qualm is its capacitive screen. It does not work with a stylus or your finger nail, you must use your finger. Personally, I don’t care for that, but that may be just me.

Over all, the Google Ion is pretty sweet. I’m an app junkie, so I love the extra features and goodies. Of course I demand great phone quality and speed, but the Google Ion passes this test with flying colors. It all comes down to what you want in a phone, but the Ion will meet many consumers’ needs and wants.

When I first heard that Google developed a phone I thought “duh,” and “I’ve got to check this out!” I’m assuming there will be amazing software and Internet surfing capabilities. Other than that, I am not sure what to expect. What is the Google Ion, where can I get one, and how much will it set me back? Fans of the Google Ion are touting it as ‘the best phone in the world.’ O.k., but why? I’m so out of touch with the phone world that I didn’t even realize that this is take two. The first version was the T-Mobile G1. From all accounts, the Google Ion creams the G1.

On inspection, the Google Ion fits easily in the palm of the hand with a large screen and it weighs only 4.09 oz. The Google Ion works with a touch screen, so there is no slide out keyboard. If you wonder how Google will create a phone that is uniquely ‘Google,’ as everything they do is, you won’t wait long. Of course, one of the few buttons located on the phone is a ‘Google Search’ button. I love it! The Ion also offers a luxurious 400 minutes of talk time, so go ahead and talk to your friends while you get your nails done.

If you have experience with touch screen phones, you will appreciate a few features included on the Google Ion. The annoying switch back and forth from landscape view is no longer. The ion automatically detects keyboard direction and adjusts. Also, when you touch keys on the screen, a larger version pops up to help you see better. It also offers ‘autocomplete,’ the Google Ion will suggest common words while you type to help save on time. It also has all the standard features that high-end phones offer; 3.2 mega pixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and a micoSD card slot.

As far as where the Google Ion is, there are a few places you can go. I’ve heard that AT&T or T-Mobile will carry it. Since version one is sold by T-Mobile, I would assume that is where you could find the Google Ion. So, AT&T will carry the phone, and there’s always good ‘ol eBay. However, as of now, the Google Ion is not released. That just means that you can be the first one to snag one when they hit the market at around $500.

The Google Ion is certainly something that people should start getting excited about. Most people don’t realize this, but many experts say that the Google Ion might be one of the most technologically advanced cell phones that have ever been made. If you are looking to purchase a new cell phone then you should strongly consider getting this state of the art cell phone. There are several benefits that people gain by purchasing this state of the art cell phone. The first benefit that you will gain is being able to surf the Internet from your phone in a much more easy fashion.

Many people are struggling economically in today’s world. If you are one of the people in the world that are struggling economically then you should strongly consider purchasing the Google Ion. The fact of the matter is that the Google Ion is one of the most affordable phones that are currently on the market today. Most people don’t realize this, but most cell phone companies make you pay way too much money for your cell phone. The worst part about this is that you have to pay tons of money for a phone that is not even worth that much.

Either way, the Google Ion is a state of the art phone that every modern day consumer should consider purchasing. It has all of the features that a person could ever hope for in a home. If you want a phone that won’t cost you a lot of money then you should check into this phone.

If you are looking for a solid phone to last you until the new Google Ion release, this is surely a good choice. Check it out, just click on the link below.

HTC Touch PRO Phone

The Google Ion, without a doubt, improves on the first T-Mobile G1. In every dimention, the Google Ion has shown it is capable to out perform the original Google Phone while significantly  minimizing the dimentions.  

Hardware
As you may already have seen on the Google Ion mega-ad televised nationaly in the recent days, the screen is amazing. If you put the G1 and the Google Ion side by side, the Google Ion has a blue-ish tint while the G1 purple. The Google Ion provides very white whites and crystal clear graphics. The Google Ion has a beautiful screen.

The body shell of the Gogle Ion is thicker than the iPhone, but less wide. This makes it feel better in the hand. It weighs 4.09 ounces compared to the G1’s 5.60 ounces, thats a total of 1.51 ounces lighter! In a way the Google Ion manages to feel even lighter then the G1, almost half as heavy. The curved chin on the G1 that made typing obnoxious on the G1 is not a problem any more with the Google Ion. Because of the touch screen there is no actual slide-out hardware keyboard. As you can see the face buttons on the lower half are now smaller, shinier, and less colorful. There s also one extra button:  Google Search. This takes you directly to the Google homepage. Overrall the Google Ion is a phone with supreme elegance.

Battery life is also much improved, with initial testsof the Google Ion being 50 min longer then the G1, at 400 talk time minutes.

Software
The Google Ion comes with the Android 1.5 OS that just rolled out to G1. The key difference is now theres a beautiful touch screen keyboard.

Also, instead of switching to and from landscape view when the keyboard is extended, the Google Ion uses the accelerometer to detect transitions. And changes to the position of the phone itself.And for  the keyboard itself? Its  not quite as full as the iPhone’s. Like the iPhone (and the G1), the Google Ion has a capacitive screen. This is when you touch a key the key pops up above larger so you can see what is being typed.The Google Ion also displays multiple word guesses for autocomplete. This may save you key presses on longer words.
