| The Combi tariff comes with 800 minutes' talktime, unlimited text messages
| and "unlimited" internet browsing on the G1's HSUPA/HSDPA 3G connection.
| Flext also gives you fair-use policy defined unlimited browsing, but you have
| up to 1250 minutes talktime or send up to 2500 texts a month - or a mix of
| the two.

T-Mobile G1 Android Phone already sold 1.5 million Units?
,----[ Quote ]
| We already reported that pre-orders for the first Android smartphone are very
| strong. Now Fool.com puts a number on how well the T-Mobile G1 pre-orders are
| actually going. If the number is correct, early adopters already ordered 1.5
| million T-Mobile G1 phones. It looks like the Google controlled Open Source
| Phone is off to a great start.

| The first phone with Google’s Android operating system boasts excellent
| ergonomics and call quality, but it’s held back by the lack of such basic
| features as a standard headphone jack.

Handset OS - Can Android break up the status quo?
,----[ Quote ]
| T-Mobile's launch of the G1, the HTC-built device built on Google's Android
| platform and OS, generated big headlines recently. But, with Samsung and
| Motorola also slated to produce Android handsets this year, and with Symbian
| taken in-house and then due to be open sourced by Nokia, are we witnessing a
| deeper change in the mobile OS market. Far from consolidation in smartphone
| OS, it seems that operators are being asked to support a couple of major
| flavours of Linux (Android and LiMo), as well as Symbian, Windows Mobile, as
| well as Blackberry and Apple's proprietary systems.

Motorola's Linux strategy evolves with Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Motorola was one of the first major handset makers to embrace the Linux
| platform. Its earliest Linux-based phones were popular in China, enabling the
| company to sell over 5 million of the penguin-powered devices by 2006.
| Following that initial victory, Motorola brought its Linux phones to the US
| with its global launch of the Razr2 in 2007. Motorola's current Linux lineup
| features eight LiMo-compatible handsets and the company boasts that its total
| sales of Linux-based phones has exceeded 14 million as of this year.

First look: latest Google Android SDK a big improvement
,----[ Quote ]
| I tested several of the applications that come with the SDK, including the
| mapping program, the contact book, and the web browser. I also tested the
| experimental Google Talk chat integration feature. I was able to connect to
| Google Talk and receive messages, which are displayed as items on the
| notification panel. The performance and usability of the bundled applications
| is pretty decent.
