Android Portal

Since some days, more and more rumours are getting written on Blogs and Websites about Android. So it seems that T-Mobile USA will be the first carrier which will ship HTC (one of worlds biggest mobile device manufacturer) based devices including Android as the operating system on it. It seems that the Phones are expected  to go into sale in October for people which already have a T-Mobile Plan. Later also new customers will be able to buy the HTC device. Most sites on the net talk about prices between 150$ and 250$, perhaps it will depend on your current plan or how long you have your plan @ t-Mobile.

Perhaps you already used apple`s App Store ? T-Mobile is also planning a Store for Android powered phones where you can download commercial and free apps/games for your device. This is due to the fact that more and more people want to customize their mobile with usefull appications instead of the already installed apps. Hopefully we see some of the “Android Developer Challenge” Applications in this store ready to download and use.

Here are some of the android phone specs which can be also found on various sites on the net:

- 3G (UMTS/HSDPA)
- 3 Megapixel builtin camera
- a 5″ long by 3″ wide touch screen
- a slide out Qwerty keypad
- Colors: white,brown,black
