G1


T-Mobile released the first truly new phone to the market since the Apple iPhone today. What is new is not the touch screen, the slide out keyboard, integrated web browser or customizable interface.

No, what makes this phone unique is that it uses a new operating system called Android. Android was developed by Google (through collaboration with the open source community). While T-Mobile is not perhaps the best bet for releasing a 3G phone (the only have 21 cities with 3G capability), it may be sufficient to get some competitors customers to jump ship, particularly if they are techies.
