In about 5 hours – at 10.30 a.m. ET – T-Mobile will present the G1 with Android. Following the iPhone, the first Google Phone will join the mobile world. In collaboration with HTC, the manufacturer of the GPhone, T-Mobile launches the G1 – also known as HTC Dream – equipped with Android software.

What we know about the G1 so far:

•    In-store, immediate sales only available in locations within 5 miles of a 3G covered area. If a store is beyond that range, representatives will walk customers through a T-mobile.com purchase
•    One touch access to: Search, Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Calendar, and Google Talk
•    Gmail account and data plan required
•    GPS
•    3.1 mp camera, no video recording
•    No stereo bluetooth (A2DP)
•    Dimensions: 4.6 x 2.16 x 0.63 in
•    Weighs 5.6 ounces
•    480×320 65K color screen
•    5 hour talk time, 130 hour talk time
•    Expandable up to 8GB

First impression: the iPhone is definitely more stylish. Still, I cannot wait to take a closer look at the G1. Will it outrun the Blackberry and the iPhone?
