Its Offical Sept 23rd The New Google Phone Is Out

[Kris@T.A.F.]

The first phone using Google's open source handheld OS will be launching on Sept 23rd and be in stores around Oct 17th . Form the reading I have been doing on it its going to be offered exclusively through T-Mobile who has secretly set up a 3G network in over 13 major areas and will be in over 21 by the end of Oct.

The name of the phone is going to be called the T-Mobile G1 (which is the T-Mobile branded name of the HTC Dream). The price should be in around $199 with 2 year service plan and should be cheaper then that of AT&T's service plans.

THe phone like the iPhone has full touch screen and is basiclly a iPhone but with a swivil out keyboard and some other cool features like google's street view maps and such.

Since I have been on t-mobile for the past years and have been dieing for broadband Im totally stoked on this phone.
