Mon, 20 Oct 2008

The early anticipated T-Mobile G1 smartphone is set to launch in the UK at the end of this month.

The G1 is the first mobile phone based on Google's Android operating system, and comes equipped with an impressive range of features including a touchscreen interface and a slide-out Qwerty keyboard.

First shipments of the HTC-manufactured device were initially expected to arrive in the UK in November. But T-Mobile – the phone’s sole carrier - has confirmed that the G1 will now be available to British consumers from 30 October.

The handset will be available for free on T-Mobile’s Combi and Flext £40-a-month tariffs .

Combi 35 offers 800 minutes and unlimited texts while Flext 40 gives up to 1,250 minutes or up to 2,500 texts, or a mixture of the two.

Jim Hyde, managing director of T-Mobile UK said: "With so much excitement generated by the announcement last month, we're thrilled to bring the T-Mobile G1 to the UK in time for Christmas ."

He added: "It's set to revolutionise the way we use the internet on our mobiles : it's uniquely built for effortless online communication – whether you want to email, text or blog – and with access to some groundbreaking applications on Android market, the possibilities really are endless."
