The T-Mobile G1 is finally out - it went on sale today at T-Mobile stores in the U.S. and is priced at $179 with a 2-year contract. The G1 has a 3.2-inch touchscreen with 320 x 480 resolution and a slide-out QWERTY. It also features a 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The G1 runs the Android operating system developed by Google, and it's currently the only phone available running this OS.

We waited in a short line this morning at a local T-Mobile store to get one (we were in 2nd out of 4 people at the time the store opened) and met an Android developer, a woman purchasing a G1 for her son as a birthday gift, and a Google employee on the Android team while waiting. We'll put the G1 through our thorough testing to see how it does, and our first impressions are relatively favorable overall - it feels good in the hand, if a little too heavy, and the OS is pretty responsive, though not entirely intuitive or refined. We are definitely excited to see the first iteration of a new smartphone platform.

While the G1 has not been marketed as an "iPhone killer" specifically, the comparison inevitably comes to mind, and the iPhone 3G will be among the comparison phones we'll use as we go through our testing, and you'll be able to see the blow-by-blow results in our full review soon.

T-Mobile has confirmed that it will have an Android device at some point this year. T-Mobiles VP of broadband and new business division said at the Wireless Innovations 2008 conference that we can expect to see a device in the 4^th quarter of 2008.

LG has announced plans to bring Android handsets to the market by “late 2008 or early 2009” according to Reuters. That would potentially make LG’s handsets the first to sport Android, with the only other timetable announcement coming from Samsung, who promised a Linux handset by early 2009.

Google has released a new version of the Android SDK. The new version has a new skin, new apps, and a much better, tighter functionality. Engadget Mobile has worked up a pretty good gallery of pics you can check out here.
