T-Mobile G1

The book I read to research this post was T-Mobile G1 For Dummies by Chris Ziegler which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. This book was published a while back so this type of smartphone is probably a bit dated. It was the first retail Android smartphone which meant it could be bought rather than having to sign up to a contract. I think this book would be of interest to anyone with this type of phone and may be of interest to someone with another type of Android smartphone because there is a lot of information on the Android operating system in general. There is a book available called Android Phones For Dummies which might be of more interest to the latter. At the time this book was published Android wasn't compatible with either Blackberry Enterprise Server or Microsoft Exchange Server but it's thought there might be a third party software solution on the horizon. One possible solution is to use an account like Gmail and have a copy of your emails sent to that. Android does seamlessly integrate with the many cloud computing services offered by Google and they're worth checking out because most are free. Android is based on the Linux operating system and using one of these phones is very much like a computer with even making a phone you have to use a built in app. Something that helps the Android customer base is the Chinese Android operating system is used by over 400 million people in that country making it the biggest smartphone provider in the world.
