Like most other things in the world, Android had a bumpy start. It took a great amount of software enhancement, hardware experimentation and, not of lesser importance, Verizon's huge marketing budget, in order to finally get things going. Along the way, however, we got to deal with some pretty unusual and remarkable smartphones for their time.
Sure, they may seem outdated by today's multi-core, super-sized standards, but they were once considered cutting-edge - cream of the crop of their Android kind. Who are they? Well, they are the smartphones that helped establish Android's foundations. A bit rough around the edges, and not really that mainstream, but still full of charm.
T-Mobile G1
Of course, how can we even have a list with "classic Android phones" without starting things off with the first ever Android handset - the T-Mobile G1 (also known as HTC Dream). Sure, this first Android wasn't much to look at, but as we already said - no beginning is easy.
