Google Android + T-Mobile = T-Mobile G1 Phone

Search Engine number 1 Google teamed up with the number 4 in the cell phone game T-Mobile, for the first installation of the Android cell phone application creating the G1 Phone.

Lots of hype started about a GPhone after Apple's IPhone dropped. Well, there haven't been any real reviews about how the software works, but people have been getting on them about the boring look of the device. Check Gizmodo.

The look leaves much to be desired and the handset only comes in black, brown and white... but I digress...



The T-Mobile G1 will sell for $179 ($20 cheaper than the iPhone) and will be available Oct. 22. Here are some more features that the phone has:

- Touch Screen
- Full Qwerty keyboard
- 3G/ WiFi
- Full HTML internet capabilities
- Easy access to all Google applications (Gmail, Gtalk, search)
- Maps
- Street view
- You Tube
- Phone
- IM/Text
- Email
- Camera 3.0mp
- Video (playback only, no recording)
- Music player & 1GB memory card pre-loaded
- Applications, all available in Google marketplace (icon on the homescreen)

The Phone is lacking some things such as:

No Microsoft Exchange support
No desktop synchronization -- it all happens over the air

and others but damn..

it's only $179

I can't call it right now, but it looks like the IPhone is still CHAMP...

what do you think??
