T-Mobile announces G1 "GPhone"
Today morning at a special event, representatives from T-Mobile, Google, and the Open Handset Alliance held a special event in New York to unveil the long awaited first handset phone-The T-Mobile G1 .
The T-Mobile G1 is committed to helping customers richly connect with those most important to them, and innovation is the foundation of that mission. In 2007, T-Mobile became a founding member of the Open Handset Alliance, an initiative that is strongly committed to greater openness in the mobile industry. T-Mobile supports increased openness because it will foster rapid innovation to best meet consumer demands.
The T-Mobile G1 features quadband GSM/quintuple band UMTS/HSDPA access, Wi-Fi radio, a built-in GPS tranceiver with compass, 3.17 inch touch screen display running at HVGA resolution (480 x 320, same as the BlackBerry Bold), microSDHC expansion slot with support for 8GB cards, and a hidden QWERTY keyboard.
In terms of software the device will be preloaded with Google Maps featuring StreetView support, Amazon MP3 Store (though the client is preinstalled, downloads can only be done over Wi-Fi, while previews can be handled by the 3G connection presumably to ease network load), Android Market, YouTube, and other third party apps.
The T-Mobile G1 with Google is the first commercially available phone to run on the 'Android' operating system, which empowers developers with tools to create and offer consumers applications that add value to their lives. This is one of many initiatives T-Mobile is working on to lead the industry in bringing real innovation to wireless customers.
