Android Invasion

T-Mobile will soon become the first carrier to offer a phone based on Google’s (GOOG) Android mobile platform. Well, that’s the rumor, anyway. Manufactured by HTC (HTC), the handset is said to feature a touchscreen, a three-megapixel camera and a full five-row keyboard just like the one seen in that YouTube video that’s been making the rounds (see below). It supports 3G connectivity, and, according to those who’ve allegedly seen it, the device is clearly intended to compete against Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, but is “big and bulky” in comparison.

The T-Mobile (DT) handset is expected to price out at $150 and arrive at market in September, as Digital Daily noted in June.
