Google Phone Release Date Set at 199 Dollars

The first Google phone, a topic of interest since its initial proposal in 2005, is no longer just a hypothetical concept. We have learned that this product, currently known as the HTC Dream, is very close to being launched. A few days ago, we revealed images of the Android platform interface and real photos of the phone. Now, we have also obtained information about the launch date and price of this phone, which should be the most anticipated details for everyone.

The first Google Android phone, HTC Dream or possibly called G1, will start accepting user pre-orders on October 3rd, and ten days later, on October 13th, the phone will be officially released. Users who pre-order can receive the phone on the release day. In terms of pricing, it is quite similar to the Apple iPhone 3G. Under a two-year contract, users can take home the Google phone for $199, and it will be exclusively sold by T-Mobile initially.

Currently, the appearance of this Google phone G1 seems consistent with previous leaks, featuring an unusual sliding screen design, with the screen size likely reaching 3.5 inches. The QWERTY full keyboard will appear after the screen slides open. The device thickness is approximately 16.35mm. The tariff for this phone has been fairly detailed, but releasing the pricing so early raises some doubts. However, everything will be revealed when G1 hits the market in October. Let's wait patiently for the good news.
