T-Mobile has officially revealed the HTC G1 to the public this morning. At their press vent in New York city, T-Mobile gave an in depth look at the G1 and an overview of it’s features. We have put together an overview of the information we have gotten today. A lot of information is still trickling in so if we missed anything, please let us know.
Pricing: Current T-Mobile customers can pre-order the G1 for $179 with a new 2 year agreement. The phone will have two data plans starting at $25 for unlimited 3G data and 400 text messages or $35 for unlimited 3G data and unlimited text messages.
Features: The t-mobile HTC G1 will offer 5 hours of talk time, 130 hours of standby, measures in at 4.6 x 2.16 x 0.63 in and has a 65K color screen, HVGA (480×320) screen. The device will ship with a 1GB memory card which they say can be expanded up to 8GB. The G1 will feature a 3.1MP camera, but will not be able to capture video. GSP and an internal compass will be included as well.
Google Apps: Google has worked long and hard to completely integrate their services into the Android platform. The phone will feature seamless integration between Gmail, Google Calendar, and GTalk which will all automatically sync to your G1. A one time Google login takes care of keeping your calendar, e-mail, and chats all up to date.
Availability: The T-mobile HTC G1 will be available for all T-mobile customers to buy and will be in stores October 22, regardless if they are in a 3G market or not. All T-Mobile stores will have a G1 demo unit on hand so that potential customers can experience the Android platform first hand. Customers who are not in a 3G market will need to purchase the phone through the website (T-Mobile store employees can assist with this as well).
