Android has entered the building!

[comp@ddict]

Anyone got an idea of the street price of this baby?

Its NOT Google Phone and its not THE android. This is just a ghost of what to expect in the future. Since its the first phone based on android and since android still needs around an year to become complete, this is nothing (yet).

I am waiting to see what Motorolla, the company with rather awssome linux phones, does with Android. I am hoping for something like Moto Rokr E6 part II with full qwerty keyboard, multitouch, a nice package manager, VLC Media Player Android edition (soon to be released in another year or so), 5.0MP Cam, Video recording, etc and a price tag of 20K

lol...are there other candidates too or its finished here only.

I like Moto designs Hope they come up with something good !

Personally I like the mobile phone but didnt find anything to like in the Android part of it.

@ MetalheadGautham
Motorola? Please... By not releasing the kernel source for ROKR E6, it committed a moral crime and seriously crippled the phone's potentials.

Great news
However, there is a lot of Misconceptions about it
New channels have called a "Gphone", "Phone from google" etc. when clearly Android is only a platform

1) Blame the phone developers for skipping out a few features, don't blame on Google and don't start saying, "Android is crap". Its the phone which is missing out the features, not the platform. Though the development of Android is yet to get completed. If its the platform which is missing features, those will surely get rectified in future updates.

2) It has been designed by HTC for T-mobile.

3) I don't expect it to come to India under the T-mobile branding, and if it will come, it will enter the Indian market by the name of HTC G1.

4) Everything isn't iPhone. In India, even if it is launched @ 20K, thats NOT going to be network locked as far as I feel.

5) HTC very well knows to price their products well.

And what makes you think we are discussing the platform and not the phone G1 (Unless ofcourse you just go by the title of this thread) ?

cost will b 30k in India jus like the iPhone..... fone looks good....

 

[appu]

The phone looks good....But there are still some differences over the actual model which google will launch for Gphone
some more details are here

 

[The Conqueror]

8k? By the time we get it here it will be 16k

Exactly.This happened with the highly awaited iPhone

 

[vish786]

Still sux when it comes to features. No Video capture on a device with such a big screen....what were they thinking

Have you glued yourself to principles of pessimism ? video capture is the only thing you found after so many other good features to look.

 

[Pat]

There was no point in implementing "Video recording" considering there is no video player in it by default

whatever , am hoping that xda will make it available for other mobiles tooo...then i will dual boot
