T-Mobile and HTC partner to provide the first phone based on Google's Android platform
The New York Times has some juicy info for us; T-Mobile will be the first American provider to sell phones based on Google’s Android OS.
The phones are being designed and manufactured by HTC. T-Mobile expects to have Android-based phones available as soon as October, to make a move on the holiday shopping season.
For someone like me, who is taking a wait-n-see approach to a future smartphone purchase, this news is simultaneously disconcerting and exciting. I’ve been waffling between an iPhone and the Blackberry Bold for a couple of months now. Of course after this announcement, I’m going to have to see what Android is all about.
Choices, choices, choices!
Bring it to the Kaiser plzkthx
With the service in Madison, I'm considering switching to Verizon, but if they can't port Android to Kaiser, I might consider T-Mo. We shall see...
I am very interested in this phone as well. I hope the have the kinks worked out.
It's a shame that T-Mo's network is crap.
My T-mo Dash is freakin great which is an HTC based phone, hopefully this new one will be even better so I can quench the urge to upgrade :P
