T-Mobile USA, Inc announced today that the highly anticipated T-Mobile G1 has arrived in stores in 95 U.S. cities. The G1 comes with Google and is the first Android™-powered mobile phone. It comes with full touch screen functionality, QWERTY keyboard, and an expansive mobile Web experience, which includes dozens of Android Market applications and popular Google products. The T-Mobile G1 has a keyboard that slides out with ease and a one touch simulator for Google Search as well as other services such as G-mail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and Youtube, all efficient to use and find on the main screen. Google Maps has become simplified when searching for certain addresses by typing in the particular information and the phone can show the individual a "street view" of the location for precise help while driving. T-Mobile G1 is the first phone to offer access to the Android Market, an operating system that includes games to social networking and on-the-go shopping that can be personalized to enhance the mobile lifestyle. More than 1.5 million phones were pre-ordered at a price of $179. One complaint has been that the Android system has not been fully exempt of connection problems. However, as of now, consumers are ready to purchase.
The T-Mobile G1 proves that technology is still advancing and that consumers are still driven to purchase whatever new innovation is offered. The G1 is a more efficient phone with applications that have not been included before and it is trying to rival the Iphone in terms of function and design. While phones were once used for simply staying in touch with friends and family, is now a device that can provide entertainment, organization, and guidance. I have never felt compelled to have a computer as a phone, but realizing the plethora of applications I could access, I realized that the G1 is just another step towards technology domination and the end to computer assistance. I am certain that the first batch of phones will contain problems with the Android system and if it will be able to access all the applications successfully. Time will tell.
