RE: Review: Over 260 images and 5 videos of the T-Mobile G1 Google Android device

You wrote in your review that they keyboard entry mode didn't make any sense to you, and that the numbers appeared to be 'randomly' assigned. I think you will find that they are not so random. Take a look at an ordinary phone (home or cell). You'll notice, in addition to the numbers on they dialpad, each key also has some letters. 2 has ABC. 3, has DEF, and so forth. I think you'll find that these probably correspond with the matchings you'll find on your G1. (6 is MNO :P)

As long as the number keys work correctly, too, this makes perfect sense. Often, companies will advertise numbers that have all or part of their name or some word instead of numbers, this is fairly frequent with toll-free numbers. They do this to make is easier to remember their number. Dialing one of these on normal keypad, unless the advertisement is a static/print one, and they also included the numeric version, is quite slow and clunky. It sounds like dialing one on the G1 would be effortless, just press the letter keys as given in the number. For instance 1-800-GOOG411
