Not Another Mobile Phone Blog

When launched for the first time, the iPhone created a storm in the world of touch screen smartphones and people got up and noticed what an extraordinary touchscreen OS can do to the entire ecosystem of touch screen based smart phones. In the same way, when T-Mobile launched G1, the first phone that ran on Android OS, open source OSs on mobile phones had a new meaning and from that moment, we have seen tons of Android phones being launched by companies like HTC, Samsung and Google themselves. May be not popular as the iPhone, Android as an OS was noticed and it is here to stay. Its been two years that T-Mobile launched the first Android based phone G1, with Google and now the company is all set to launch the next version of the same phone, the G2. This time, G2 will have tight integration with Google's own services. Actually you can read for yourself what the T-Mobile site has to say about G2, "The T-Mobile G2 will deliver tight integration with Google services and break new ground as the first smartphone designed to run at 4G speeds on our new HSPA+ network. In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about the G2 and offer exclusive first access to current T-Mobile customers." Exciting piece of info is that the phone is 4G ready with HSPA network compatibility, which I think is damn cool!! Head over to the Official G2 page and keep yourself in the loop to know more about the G2. I am waiting!!

HTC Magic is the second phone from HTC, after the G1, which is based on Google's and OHA's Android operating system. This phone was showcased by HTC at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2009. Enjoy more pics of HTC Magic via ePrice.

According to latest reports from Digitimes, a Chinese mobile phone manufcaturer, Sciphone will soon be shipping out the Android powered phone in China for a price tag of $174. Thats cheap even than the G1 phone or the HTC Dream launched few months back, which also runs Android OS from Google and the Open handset Alliance. As of now, the Chinese company has not provided any details reagrding whether the phone will be availabe outside China. If they make it available it will certainly sell like hot cakes unless you do bnot dwell too much into the Chinese quality.
