Google releases the robots.
After months and months of speculation, HTC and T-Mobile have finally taken the covers off their jointly designed phone that runs Google's shiny new Android OS. And the word is the G1 is absolutely mediocre.
Slow and steady
That's not to say that the G1 doesn't have the odd nice feature here and there (well, just here, in fact) - like its slide up screen, which reveals a full Qwerty tapper underneath. On the whole, however, the hardware specs are barely there for what's supposedly a cutting edge super-phone.
The camera limps in at just 3.2 megapixel, is too puny to handle video and doesn't even have a flash (which must be in contravention of some EU regulation, surely?). Other specs are equally insipid - like the 3.2in 320x480 res touchscreen and teeny weeny 192MB of memory. You do get a 2GB card in the box, but even that's a little on the stingy side these days. It does pack a digital compass, but there's not much here that you can't get elsewhere.
The devil is in the software
Whether the G1 sinks or swims will, ultimately, come down to how well people get on with Google's take on what a mobile OS should be. The hardware is a long way from revolutionary, so it's only the software that makes it standout from the competition.
Availability
The G1 will be available exclusively on T-Mobile from November. There's no word on pricing just yet, but we suspect unless something goes very, very wrong it will be available from free with contract. If you want to be first at the front of the queue, you can let T-Mobile know by filling in this form and then waiting patiently.
