T-Mobile G1 is OUT!

First Android-based mobile phone has been released in US!
It will be sold from the 22th of October, priced 179$ (plus taxes and fees; two-year agreement required).
You can know more on this at www.t-mobileg1.com. Unfortunately, it will be SIM-Locked.
Some specifications:

• 3.2" Touchscreen display (480x320)
• QWERTY keyboard
• GPS
• 3.1Mpixel Camera
• Qualcomm MSM7210A running @ 528 MHz CPU
• 256MB ROM / 192MB RAM
• GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• UMTS/HSDPA (3G)
• WiFi 802.11 b/g
• Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR

I hope Politecnico di Torino will buy some of these devices. I'll ask if there's a way for getting a G1 for me (I'll pay it, I swear).

Mobile war

Nokia acquires Symbian, creating the Symbian Foundation.
iPhone is equipped by Apple OS.
Google is late in releasing Android on the market.
OpenMoko sold out its first device (the Neo 1973) and is preparing a 2nd launch, with the new Freerunner.

So... Who will win the race to the best OS for mobile devices?
Two of the four OSes are open source. It will be a great fight.
