Google, T-Mobile Launch New G1 Android Phone

Oct 22, 2008

The G1 smartphone went live this morning and software in Google's Android Market is available for free, lasting for an unspecified limited time, officials said today.

G1 is the first device running the Linux-based Google Android operating system, which also as of today is available in open-source code.

In addition, T-Mobile opened a customer discussion forum - that should be useful because around half of G1 pre-orders were from customers who only owned a feature phone, the operator noted.

For its part, T-Mobile is continuing to open more 3G regions, although the company behind-the-scenes is engaged in a battle over spectrum that some believe could lead to signal interference from other systems.

The phone, which is manufactured by Taiwan-based HTC Corporation, is available at T-Mobile stores for $179 with a two year contract.

The G1 is a dual-band HSDPA (1700/2100) and quad-band GSM device. The G1 features WiFi and 3G radios, a 3-megapixel camera
Built by HTC, the phone features a 320x480 touch screen, a hidden QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, 3G, and an accelerometer.
