Alright folks, finally HTC's GPhone photos have been leaked into the internet. Yesterday T-Mobile unveiled G1 at New York. Dont expect the jaws to drop off by the looks. HTC was never known to make people lick lips with the appearance or form factor. G1 is not an exception. It resembles a lot with T-Mobile's Sidekick. Especially when you take into consideration the how it slides and the jogball.
The QWERTY keyboard looks pretty nice. The processor for this device is provided by Qualcomm - the rumor has it that its a 528 MHz processor. Add to it 128 mb of internal RAM and 256MB Internal ROM, I think we are talking about quite a powerful toy here..!! The camera apparently does not have any flash though. Also, the device comes up with only 1 GB of internal memory - tough to digest this.
The Google contribution to this phone (apart from the Android OS, of course) are some nifty apps. I google maps with street view, "shopsavvy" (allows you to to use the camera as a price tag scanner) is pretty cool. The touch screen(3 inches wide) is getting good feedbacks on the blogosphere.
T-Mobile will release the G1 in the U.K. in early November and other European markets in the first quarter next year.
