It’s great to see the G1 and Google’s Android make such an impression, in the UK in 2008 it accounted for 20% of all contract sales for T-Mobile and mobile broadband revenues were up 250% over the previous year. This is inspite of the fact that the HTC G1 hardware was not all that great.

Having seen the G2 or more commonly called the HTC Magic at MWC recently this is a far superior device, all touch, great capacitive screen, Android OS, I’d say the second best device at the show behind the Palm Pre. This all bodes well for further increases in uptake by the masses of mobile internet, especially when looking at the Palm Pre and even the Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60! However, it’s a shame that the more experienced and mainstream phone manufacurers just can’t get it together and produce phones that will really give users great internet experiences now that operators are starting to provide decent tarrifs, for example Virgin Mobile offer internet access for £0.30 per day.
