T-Mobile give us the G1, the Google phone

September 23rd, 2008

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, the Google phone is at last here, well at least the website is. The T-Mobile G1 aka Google phone is officially launched later today, but the website popped up on the radar yesterday. Rumour has it, as the website doesn’t yet actually give out any specs, that the G1 will have the following bells and whistles

* 3G network
* 4.6 x 2.16 x 0.63 inches
* 5.6 oz
* 480 x 320 res HVGA display
* 3.1 Mp camera
* up to 8 GB of memory
* 5 hours of talktime
* 130 hours of standby

Perhaps what more surprising are the specs that are missing, such as video capture, no stereo bluetooth and the pre-requisites such as a GMail account and your local store being within a two to five mail radius of T-Mobile’s 3G coverage! Not really sure what the last item is about, but the overall package is pretty slack really. I’m pretty sure a souped up model will be out soon, so it may be worth hanging on to your cash for a while to see what the next model is like.
