When it goes on sale tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 will be the very first mobile device to utilize Google's open source operating system, Android. I've been using a G1 for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed-a relief because since the iPhone there really hasn't been a mobile that I've been excited about. While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with... T-Mobile G1 Google Android Phone

Today in New York City T-Mobile, HTC and Google officially unveiled the much anticipated G1. The touch-screen phone is the first to use Google's open source Android platform. Available on 22 October 2008 for $179, this device offers the first user experience that even comes close to the ease, quality and delight of the iPhone interface. Some aspects of the touch-based interface are what... Pearly White

Siemens just announced the SK65 tri-band GSM phone. The h-o-t-t-o-g-o design features a swivel out qwerty keypad for text entry. As great as this thing looks, I wonder what it will be like to hold while texting-- it could be kind of awkward. You corporate types will also be glad to know the device includes Research In Motion's Blackberrry software so you can have...
