The phone I’ve been waiting for Soooooo long is finally here. Jump forward to look at the official web site. For those of you interested, it’s $179 with 2 plans: $25 with unlimited data and 400 text, $35 with both unlimited. Of course, you still need the usual voice plan, but this isn’t bad at all. Now all T-Mobile needs is better 3G coverage. Oh and forgot to mention… if you have wi-fi you can call through wi-fi using this phone. If you do so, your Minutes are not deducted! Pretty cool, huh?

Also, look at Android Marketplace for some of the insanely amazing applications that have been built to run on android (and many that are being created as you read.) As soon as that site is live, I’ll update the link.

UPDATE 1: Follow this link to see Engadget’s side-by-side quick comparison of Apple iPhone and HTC G1.

UPDATE 2: Here’s a price/feature comparison with other smart phones.

UPDATE 3: So, as more details emerge on the HTC G1 device and Android, I am kinda-sorta not too excited. Here’s 5 big-time flaws that make me want to cry hard.

I guess I’ll just have to wait till next year for better apps and better devices. (And yes.. I’m NOT going to get an iPhone… although it looks so tempting).
