The big question we all want answered is how much is the G1 Phone, or as some refer to it the Google Phone going to cost us?

Well rumour has it that although the G1 Phone has been pre sold in the US at a decent premium, it may be available for FREE in the UK (probably in exchange for a lengthy contract we expect).

None the less, if there is any truth in this rumour, the google phone, sorry G1 phone, is set to banish the iPhone to dark cold lonely cupboards up and down the UK, possibly for good.

Gives us your views on the strengths, weaknesses and comparisons between the G1 Phone and the poor old iPhone.

A recent press release from Hitwise suggested that the UK public are predominantly referring to the new G1 Phone as the Google Phone. However, it is widely believed that this is an early trend led by the lack of UK publicity for the G1 Phone and widespread excitement surrounding rumours of a new phone created by Google.

Lets make this clear once and for all. The phone in question is the G1 Phone, built by HTC to be the first ever phone to run on the exciting new Google Android Operating Platform. Contracts for the G1 Phone will be exclusive to T-Mobile and will be available to the UK market in early November 2008 although will still await an exact UK release date.

One thing’s for sure, G1 Phone or Google Phone, we’re expecting the mobile experience to be taken to new highs when this one flies off the shelves in November.
