T-Mobile G1 details
This morning, T-Mobile and Google held the press conference to announce the first phone to officially launch with the Android OS, the T-Mobile G1. You are going to hear a lot of people comparing this one to the iPhone, so let’s jump in to the feature set. The G1 sports 3G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, a 3-megapixel camera, is based on a fully open-source OS. The Android OS gives you access to the Android Market (think of that as being similar to the App Store), as well as built-in support for Amazon’s MP3 store, for downloading music on the go. Even cooler, in our opinion, are the things that are real firsts in the mobile phone space - Push Gmail, and Google Maps with Street View.
You can pick up the T-Mobile G1 on October 22, at a nice price of $179.99 with a 2-year agreement. If you can’t wait to spend the cash, you can even pre-order one now at the G1 website. If you are over in the UK, it’s yours in November, while the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and Czech Republic will have to wait until sometime in the first quarter of 2009.

T-Mobile G1 is the first real competition to Apple's iPhone. It looks amazing as well as all its features are also very fine.All the facilities in it like combine Google Maps with the 3G Network to find where you are and where you want to go, offers fast Internet speeds with the 3G network, quick access to Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube and more.Also the Android Market allows you to browse, purchase and download applications built for the Android operating system. As more applications are available, the G1 has become the more powerful smartphone for all types of users.

Looks like a nice device. The Android OS is starting to gain more of the smart phone market share and with phones like the G1 that trend is likely to continue.
