HTC Android ‘coming in September’

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’m so over the iPhone. The first Android phone? Now that’s some hype I’m willing to buy into - and thanks to T-Mobile for helping me do it. Yes, according to The New York Times, the first Android will come from HTC (yes, we know) and will go on sale exclusively through T-Mobile first.

Another T-Mobile blog says that T-Mo will only get exclusive rights to the device for a week after the launch - expected in September - and then a general launch with a number of operators will follow. The New York Times however reckons there will be a launch announcement in September, with Android phones going on sale the month after.

The T-Mo blog also reckons that the name of the device will be G1, but that sounds more like a development codename than the moniker the device will bear when it finally hits the shelves. Either way, I have a sneaking suspicion I know what will be on my Christmas list this year…

It'll be interesting to see if the rumors come true and the phone comes out soon. I'm not going to be holding my breath until then, though.

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
