iPhone, meet gPhone
The first "Google Phone," the T-Mobile G1, will debut October 22, and will cost $179 with a two-year contract. The data plan will cost $25/month on top of the calling plan. More details here. And here's video of the unveiling.
According to the AP, the phone, which runs on the Android operating system, "will be sold in T-Mobile stores only in the U.S. cities where the company has rolled out its faster, third-generation wireless data network." The complete list of such cities can be found here. My soon-to-be home, Denver, will be 3G territory "before the end of the year."
But -- he asks, sounding like a broken record -- can you use it as a modem for your laptop?? [UPDATE: Apparently not. Argh.]
