Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?

In October of 1998 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.

    Ah so nostalgic… HTC making phones lol

    On a serious note, I still think my HTC Desire Z was the bee’s knees… except it didn’t tolerate water that much and I live in a very wet and humid place. Feh.

    Still, one of the best handhelds I’ve ever had. Gotta give it that.

      I remember when that flip clock widget was everywhere. You couldn’t get away from it. I think those originated from HTC.
