T-Mobile has a G1 360 view emulator that allows you to rotate the new G1 360 degrees to get a really good look at all angles of this device. The 360 allows you to slide the screen up to reveal the full Qwerty keyboard.
The guide tab gives you 4 different options for viewing how the hardware of the G1 works. The first demonstrates how the screen slides up for use of the keyboard. The battery removal shows just how the back of the device is taken off to reveal the battery. Sim Card Insertion shows that in order to replace the Sim Card you must first remove the battery. However you do not have to remove the battery to insert or remove the MicroSD card. This makes accidentally loosing the card a lot easier and opens the opportunity of getting dirt inside the slot.
The G1 emulator is very functional and fun to play with. However many of the applications that require data do not work in this particular example. You can view a demo of incoming calls, incoming picture messages (MMS), incoming text messages (SMS), incoming email or incoming instant message. Using this emulator will really help customers get a general idea of what the device will be like before purchasing it. More discussion can be found at Android Community Forums.

here u go!
i think the new design is even betterer. on my tytn (cingular 8525), the slot is on the side with no cover at all. i work construction-roofing\siding etc.. and my phone takes some abuse, in some bad air quality conditions as well. i've never had a problem with my sd card. the sd card has a little click after it goes in all the way, helping to secure it. the G1 has a little door cover,which will help further protect it.
DOES THIS MEAN THE PHONE CAN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING BUT CALLS??!! (Just kidding)
Also, is there supposed to be any sound in this thing? I get nothing...
Ahh, that makes sense, but I think you meant "portrait" mode. But I get the picture.

i just wanted to pretend for a little bit more
...trying to kick my WM habit of using the END button to get back to the main screen.

EDIT: I also just realized that they setup the keyboard to output the # associated with the letter you type (IE 1-800-GOOG-411)
...you can type it just like that and it will replace the GOOG with 4664 without you having to look at another phone.
I think thats a great UI/UX idea
