Cellubration

The T-Mobile G1 Google Android phone isn't shipping until tomorrow, but we were lucky enough to get our hands on the device before its official launch date.

The Quad-Band GSM device has a really nice all around build factor, not surprising considering HTC manufactured the device.  After a quick walk around the one "possible" troubling factor was the sliding mechanism on the device, it appears to be a little flimsy, but again that was just a first impression, for all we know the springs inside are made of titanium, it was just an impression.

I was personally surprised by the small size of the HTC G1, while the keypad was still pretty accessible and I didn't feel like I was going to fat finger the device.

I also really liked the curved design which you can see on the side view photo i've posted below

I've also included some pictures of the retail packaging from T-Mobile, its probably some of the most interesting and best packaging I've seen to date.
