It was only a matter of time before the recently launched T-Mobile G1 got the dissection-treatment from someone with the gall to tear-apart their brand new Android smartphone. This time around, it was Tech-On that managed to muster courage to dissect their T-Mobile G1 for the good of geeks everywhere.
Tech-On ran into a bit of trouble during their tear-down, requiring them to literally rip the T-Mobile G1′s chassis apart, despite the best efforts of two screws to hold the handset together. We’d never be able to do such harm to any of our handsets, but the dissection yielded some interesting results – all in the name of science… sorta.
The T-Mobile G1, manufactured by HTC, bears HTC logos within the device, as expected. Interestingly, the G1′s radio antenna was comprised of a spiral-cut ribbon that was hidden within the chassis itself. The trackball was found to be the same as those used on BlackBerry handsets – a bit of a surprise, but it makes sense given the trackball’s similar feel.
Head on over to Tech-On to see their full T-Mobile G1 tear-down coverage.
