The Android-based G1 phone from Google and HTC (and carried by T-Mobile) is creating strong word of mouth even before the device is officially released Oct. 22.
Several reliable sources claim total pre-orders for the device, which is based on Google’s open source Android mobile operating platform, have already hit 1.5 million units, which is pretty good for a phone not even released yet.
The G1 is expected to provide strong competition to Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s BlackBerry Storm. Should the iPhone and Apple start to be concerned? Perhaps. Early reviews of the release model will determine how much of a challenge to Apple it will pose.

Google will be releasing their Nexus One aka Google phone today. Will Nexus One be an iPhone killer? The answer is no.
No, the falling Apple logo on the Google hompage doesn't have anything to do with Apple Inc. It is there to celebrate the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton.

As has been said here and many other places, one can only imagine that Apple was ready to do battle with the Droid and that they were merely waiting for the release of their competitions top product before finalizing their latest version.
It is all BS unless T-Mobile comes out and say it. Neither
T-Mobile nor Google is willing to make any comments.
I think Apple has nothing to worry about. Based on all the reviews I’ve read, I think they’re two different phones. Android will offer things–so will iPhone–but Apple has the tight media integration they’ll never have.
Whatever, iPhone is my favorite.
I don’t the iphone should worried. Also I don’t think the peeps from ‘Without a Trace’ will want to spend time fiddling around with this when they are so used to the iphone already
Well I hope its better than the iPhone which appart from the intereface isn’t that good.
What I want is: support for flac, be able to run skype and a decent camera
Google phone can run skype from what I hear. I am pretty excited about it.
A couple of my friends have gone through several Iphones so I am not really wanting one of them after their experiences. The open access concept behind Android is neat, a lot of providers around where I live try to lock down phones and “sell” you back the features that you already have built in to your phone. Hopefully the google licensing agreement will mean they are not able to disable email, maps, gps, etc like they do on their standard phones.
I really look forward to when a few more models are out so there is a choice of provider and feature sets. That is really exciting to me. So I can get the best features and coverage for my money.
how do i get my hotmail to me g phone
anyone know ?
