In the United States started selling Google Phone (G1)

In the United States, sales of the first G1 smartphone, running on the Google Android platform, began. Google believes that the smartphone will provide mobile phone users with easy access to the Internet. Smartphone G1 is made by the Taiwanese HTC companies.



The launch of the T-Mobile G1 was expected by about 150 people. Waiting for the start of sales near the store on Market Street, a group of about 150 waiters gathered, one of whom, a student, Christopher Laddish, he said, spent 10 hours near the store.



The first Google phone was presented on September 23 in New York by T-Mobile and Google. And already then 34 large manufacturers of mobile devices, including companies such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG, have already declared their support for Google Android.

It should be noted that the company Google for the smartphone G1 has launched the online store Android Market, which will sell various applications.



The G1 produced by the Taiwanese company HTC went on sale at a price of $ 180 along with a T-Mobile contract for the provision of communication services for two years, which is paid separately. This is almost two times less than the cost of an Apple iPhone . An unsubsidized device without a contract costs $ 400.



Earlier it was reported that the number of pre-orders on the T-Mobile G1 exceeded 1.5 million. However, industry sources suggested that this number was greatly overestimated. In total, in 2008, the mobile operator T-Mobile intends to sell half a million G1 smartphones.
