G1 Android, Shipping and Reviewed !

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 16 2008 - 16 views

bender_de_abajo With about a week to go till the aforementioned availability of the T-mobile G1 Android phone, things are hotting up. It looks like pre ordered G1 units are on the move, according to Phandroid. How they got this info out of UPS  I wouldn’t know.

Just a quick heads up for anyone who pre-ordered their T-Mobile G1 to check the UPS Website for a tracking number and shipping date. At least 2 readers have contacted us saying they have shipping information today and that the shipping method is via 3-day… meaning you could receive your T-Mobile G1 as early as the 17th and definitely by the 21st.

The G1 is already circulating though, and of course some of the bigger sites are already getting real hands on time/review units to help muster buyers for the in store release of the first Google phone. Both Engadget and Gizmodo, have detailed reviews of the G1 posted today, which are not uncomplimentary, but point to the fact that the OS is a first release and will probably need some work.

The G1 phone and the Android operating system are not finished products. There are only three working Google App’s here—Gmail, Maps and Calendar—while Google Docs, Google News, Google Reader, Google Shopping, Google Images, Google Video, Blogger and Picasa are nowhere to be found. What’s the deal? gizmodo

Looks like people are going to have to wait for a complete Google experience on the platform, a bit like bender not functioning until he’s had a few beers!

What’s an Android Phone worth?

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Sep 18 2008 - 13 views

It took me a while to dig up footage of the London developer day that Google held, showcasing the android OS on an unnamed/unbranded device. That looked incredibly familiar.

So the demo at the London event and the announcement from T-Mo of an event next week, really has people champing at the bit, but really how much will the  G1 set you back? What sort of contract will you be chained to? What sort of price will the supposed HTC device command unlocked?

So many questions, and so much speculation, with so much silence, it’s probably driving up the price, or is it.

Cnet news are throwing a ballpark figure out there.

What would you pay for the Dream?

HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, Coming (Very) Soon To A Sprint Store Near You

Posted by: dgoldring on Sep 03 2008 - 31 views

Rumors are swirling around the impending release of the CDMA versions of the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.  According to this report which was unearthed by IntoMobile, the Touch Diamond is coming in mid-September, while the Touch Pro is due to be released October 19.

Looks like the Diamond will cost $549.99, but will be reduced to as little as $249.99 with a two year contract.  The Touch Pro is $579.99, but will be reduced to $329.99 with a two contract.

Keep in mind, that despite the official-looking document in the image, this is all still firmly in the rumor category until we actually see devices in the store.  Still, it is nice to know that these may be coming sooner rather than later.
