T-Mobile officially launches G1 Android phone

So here you go guys, the lowdown on the official T-Mobile G1 Android Phone.

It’ll feature a 3-megapixel camera, HSDPA 1700/2100, quad-band EDGE, WiFi, Bluetooth but no A2DP, Google Maps with Street View, Android Market, Amazon MP3 app for music purchases and the Push Gmail support with full HTML client. It’ll be available for $179 on T-Mobile in the US starting on October 22. The UK will have theirs in November while Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and the Netherlands will get their share of Android phone goodness in early 2009. Existing T-Mobile subscribers can start ordering one now.

As for the phone’s design, the leaked pictures we’re spot on. For more live pics, check out Engadget’s G1 hands-on gallery.

So now that everything’s legit and official, will you be getting one soon or will you wait for the other Android phones to hit the market before making any final decisions?
