The second android phone is now available to pre-order from vodaphone. Pricewise the phone is free on a £35 a month contract (edit and now £30 from phones4u) which comes with unlimited internet and webmail. For anyone who doesn't know, the specs are almost identical to the g1 but the battery is slightly better and it has double the rom so more apps can be installed. It has no keyboard though!
It runs on android firmware 1.5 and the full list of improvements can be seen here but some things to note are:
-soft keyboard in portrait and landscape orientation
-video recording
-much faster acquisition of GPS location
Watch a video of the phone in action here.
Ordering mine tomorrow, I've been wanting an android phone for ages but the g1 seemed too big and clunky. The phone should be released on May 1st.
Any g1 owners going to make the change or is it too similar to be worth the effort?
