Mobility Today were invited to the T-Mobile HTC G1- Google Android launch event early this morning and got to test out the phone first hand. It is the world’s first Android-powered mobile phone in partnership with Google exclusively to T-Mobile customers . The T-Mobile G1 features a touch screen component in addition to a QWERTY keyboard with popular Google applications like Google Maps Street View, Gmail, Youtube and my favorite Savy Shopper all running on Google’s new mobile OS, Android. Watch the video highlights of the event after the break.

Well it looks as though PC Magazine had this one spot on with this being a feature phone and not a smartphone, it has been confirmed today that the latest Google Android G1 handset will have no exchange support, no A2DP, can only read office docs like word, excel and powerpoint with no ability to create the documents. No skype support and it will sync over the air to only Google Services. No desktop client is available and you cannot tether it to your laptop as a modem.
Microsoft has informed some of its partners that it has had to delay Windows Mobile 7, a much anticipated update to its cell phone operating system.
