<p>On Thursday, the G1 mobile phone was finally released in the UK, and &mdash; ignoring the sensible policy of not getting first-generation devices &mdash; I ordered mine as soon as the website was available.</p> <p>I now have my G1 and have written up my <a href="article/t_mobile_g1_google's_android_mobile_phone.html#first_impressions">first impressions</a>.</p> <p>As I become more familiar with the Android-based device, I will be updating this entry with more details and photos.</p> <br /> <p><strong>Updates</strong><br /> 1-Nov-2008 14:09 <em>first posted</em><br /> 1-Nov-2008 15:30 <em>added photos</em><br /> <strong>Last Updated: 16-Nov-2008 22:35</strong> <em>added more details</em></p>
