T-Mobile G1 - First Android Phone


T-Mobile officially anounced the T-Mobile G1, aka HTC Dream, or Google Phone etc, the first Android-based mobile phone.

The T-Mobile G1 was unveiled Tuesday September 23 2008 at Guastavino’s in New York City.

The launch event included execs from Google, HTC and T-Mobile, with an apparently unexpected visit by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who seem to have rollerbladed the 1.2 miles from their previous event, the launch of Google Transit.

Specs for the G1 include:

  • Android operating system
  • 3.17 inch touch screen with a resolution of 480×320
  • GPS
  • QWERTY keyboard + trackball
  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G
  • 4.60×2.16×0.62 inches and 5.6 oz
  • 3.1 megapixel camera
  • apps via the Google Android Marketplace
  • music via Amazon MP3 89 cents
  • $179.99 + $35.00 per month unlimited

    Walt Mossberg reviews the G1 in Google’s G1: First Impressions. Walt likes the physical keyboard and the slick software, but adds the music and video playback could be improved.
