I didn’t realise the google phone was THAT heavy

October 7th, 2008 by Sandlines | Filed under mobile, sidelines.

I noticed a review last night of the T-Mobile G1, the first Google Android phone, in online magazine iGIZMO. I was alarmed when clicking on the ‘details’ icon (the little red “i” bottom left) to learn that the G1 is even more hefty that at first I’d thought… according to the reviewer it weighs 1.58kg. Makes my old XDA Exec look positively lean and mean.

Shurely shome mishtake?

   That’s one heavy old phone. Methinks they meant 158 grams (that’s still 5 oz though - not terribly light).

   you are, of course, correct - http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_g1-2533.php has the full specs.

   iGIZMO responds:

   Yes - apologies for the over-enthusiastic ‘k’ that crept in there - it is indeed 158g.

   Bug in the XML now squashed…
