T-Mobile Showcases Google's First Phone: The G1



The latest buzz on the web is about the first Google-powered handset called the G1, announced by T-Mobile today. T-Mobile's created a website dedicated to the launching of their new phone, located here. Here is a breakout of articles across the web featuring the search giant's foray into the cell phone industry:

I, like other fellow bloggers out there, don't get the numerous comparison's typical media outlets like to make between smart phones like the G1 and Apple's iPhone. "iPhone-Killer" this, and "does it beat the iPhone" that...ENOUGH with the iPhone comparison's! Granted, the intuitive interface, features, and all around package (not to mention Apple's viral marketing) are what made Apple's iPhone ubiquitous. However, the G1 has a qwerty keyboard which the iPhone does not, placing it in a different sub-class altogether. Secondly, the iPhone wasn't the first touchscreen phone on the block...they've been around for years (remember the Samsung SPH-I300?). So, if you need to satisfy your craving for iPhone comparisons, click here, in the mean-time go check out the G1.
