The first Android-powered phone, T-Mobile’s G1, was officially released today. Â It comes preloaded with a varity of Google Applications (Search, Maps, Gmail, Calendar, Google Talk and YouTube). Â The Gmail app has most of the features of the web version (labels, conversations, etc) and Maps comes with StreetView built-in.

The phone itself isn’t a slouch either.  It has a 3.2-inch TFT-LCD (at 320×480 resolution) and a full QWERTY keyboard.  It has a 3.2 megapixel camera, and 8 gigs 1 gig of storage (plus a microSD slot).  The phone does not have video capabilities, and it’s chained to the T-Mobile network.  Undoubtedly, a unlock crack will be developed quickly.

Here is a video produced by Google showing off the phone:

And here are a bunch of photos of the device. Â It sure looks slick!
