- Loading Comments...
Deutsche Telekom's (DT Quote) T-Mobile unit unveiled its new G1 cell phone Tuesday, the first device to feature Google's (GOOG Quote) new Android software.
T-Mobile is the exclusive carrier in the U.S. for the first Android-powered mobile phone. The G1 will be available at T-Mobile retail stores beginning Oct. 22 for $179 plus a two-year voice and data agreement. T-Mobile said it will also bring the new G1 phone to the U.K. in November and several other European countries, including Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and the Netherlands, in the first quarter of 2009.
The T-Mobile G1 offers full touch-screen functionality combined with a QWERTY keyboard, creating another rival for Apple's (AAPL Quote) popular iPhone 3G. The G1 will also include Google services such as Google Maps, Gmail and YouTube.
