The first Google Android-powered mobile phone has been unveiled by operator T-Mobile.
Manufactured by HTC, the T-Mobile G1 phone features a trackball, touch-screen interface and a Qwerty keyboard that is revealed when the screen slides away.
The handset is capable of connecting to the web over 3G, Wi-Fi and Edge connections and comes with a full HTML browser complete with zoom.
Users can access their email, instant messaging, office documents and more with the phone, as well as being able to conduct a Google search with a single touch of the screen.
The phone will launch in the UK in November and in the US during October. The Android operating system was first announced last year and will become open source in the next few months.
"We hope that Android can provide a meaningful contribution to all players in the mobile ecosystem: the developers, the wireless carriers, the handset manufacturers, etc," commented lead Android product manager Erick Tseng in a post on the Official Google Blog.
