The G1 is a smartphone designed for the T-Mobile network. A smartphone combines a cell phone with a PDA, allowing users to make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, access the Internet, track schedules and store contact information. The G1 phone uses a rechargeable battery pack as its power source. Remove the battery pack prior to cleaning the phone or if you need to replace it.
