HTC G1 – Google Android Phone

// October 6th, 2008 // Hardware & gadgets, Software, Uncategorized

A few days ago Google has finally announced the first phone that will run on the new, open source, Android OS. The phone is the HTC G1 (also known as HTC Dream).

The new Google phone will first be supplied only on T-Mobile network, but in the future (about the begining of 2009) the phone will be available in Europe as well.


As we expected, the Google phone will be a really good rival to the iPhone, not only because of its design and configuration, but mostly because of the Android OS, and open source mobile OS. This has many advantages. First of all, there will be many applications available (both free and payed) and secondly you will always find help if something goes wrong.

The G1 comes with a nice touch-screen, a full QWERTY keyboard and with many applications pre-installed. The Android OS has a nice web browser, applications like Google Maps, Gmail and many more. Also, it is very customazible, Android letting you replace even key-features of the OS.

The phone has nice 3MP camera, but sadly no flash. Also, this is really cool internet device, beein 3G compatible and also having Wi-Fi capabilities.

The price will start from about 135$ and will hit the US market this month.
