The “Google phone” – HTC T-Mobile G1 is being shipped as you read this.
The device is, of course, the first official device running on the Android platform. There were reports of about one million of the handsets on pre order. Their wait is finally over it seems.
The handset is currently locked in to T-Mobile. There is no word on the India launch or announcement of the carrier. Read Fonearena’s coverage of the same here.
The HTC G1 or the first Google Android phone has already sold 1 .5 million units (pre-orders)
Its priced at $179 in America and comes with a 2 year contract.
Reports suggest that HTC is in talks with Indian operators to bring the Google Phone to India for as little as Rs.8200 but reports also suggest that the handset could be priced as high as Rs.20000
Anyhow thats much cheaper than the Apple iPhone price which is Rs.30000 approx.
So all your users who felt disappointed or fooled by the iphone pricing .. are u listening ?
