The T-Mobile G1 phone, unveiled on September 23, 2008, carries the Linux-based open source Google Android platform. Early reviews praise the G1's operating system and smooth integration with Google services, but feelings are mixed regarding the camera, connection speeds, and the jutting "chin" at the bottom of the phone.Engadget: T-Mobile G1 review (October 16, 2008)
