Is it just me or does it seem like a new phone comes out every month? I’m here to tell you about yet another new cell phone. The T-Mobile G1 is Google’s new baby that makes its appearance October 22, 2008. At the moment T-Mobile is the only carrier. Here’s a quick overview of the G1!

What is it?

The G1 is a smart phone that will run on Google’s Android Platform which is an application store that can be compared to the iTunes store. This platform supports several applications including Shopsavvy which lets you scan barcodes and compare the prices from store to store.

How much?

$179 for the phone. This does not include the two year voice and data plan you will need to make it work!

What can it do?

One touch Google search-If you need to search the web while on the move, you can do it at the touch of a fingertip.

Google Maps street view- Need some guidance? Street view shows you street names and locations to help you find your way.

QWERTY keyboard- This full keyboard is only visible when you slide open the phone case and makes text messaging easy and fast.

Touch Screen technology- The touch screen is much like the touch screen on the iPhone. Instead of pushing buttons you can opt to navigate by touching the screen.

3 megapixel camera- Autofocus is built in which enables you to take clear pics

Video Playback- Watch videos including the ones on YouTube

Music Player- 1GB of space gives you plenty of room to save and jam out to your favorite tunes.

Email-Send and receive emails using Gmail and other email services
