Here it is, all early adopters. T Mobile customers are truly salivating. Phone touchers all over the world can't wait to spend that money on a phone with tons of features. 95% of which, you will never use. Touch screen, huh? Hey, you can touch the it and move stuff around. Same thing can be said about the clitoris. In both cases, I don't see why I should be so excited. The underlying question remains. What do I get out of it? GeekZone has more on this thing.

T-Mobile customers in the U.S. have the opportunity to pre-order the T-Mobile G1 on-line, in limited quantities. The device will be available at select T-Mobile retail stores and online in the U.S. beginning 22nd October, for a price of US$179 with a two-year voice and data agreement.

The T-Mobile G1 with Google delivers a premium mobile Web and communications experience in one device. Working together, T-Mobile, Google and manufacturer HTC integrated Android and T-Mobile services into the phone’s form and function.

The screen slides open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, great for communicating with friends online or using the phone’s e-mail, IM and mobile messaging capabilities. As another option for accessing the device, the T-Mobile G1 comes equipped with a convenient trackball for more precise, one-handed navigation.

With one-click contextual search, T-Mobile G1 customers can search for relevant information with a touch of a finger. A full HTML Web browser allows users to see any Web page the way it was designed to be seen, and then easily zoom in to expand any section by simply tapping on the screen.

With built-in support for T-Mobile’s 3G and EDGE network as well as Wi-Fi, the T-Mobile G1 can connect to the best available high-speed data connection for surfing the Web and downloading information quickly and effortlessly.
