NEW YORK - Google will make its first move into the smart phone market with the introduction of T-Mobile G1 in New York today.

It will be the first phone that uses Google's Android operating system which was created by Taiwanese handset maker HTC.

T-Mobile will be unveiling the HTC Dream, aka the T-Mobile G1 today in New York but will only start selling in stores next month.

According to TmoNews, a T-mobile blog, the phone is 4.6 x 2.16 x 0.63 inches, weighs 5.6 ounces, features a 480 x 320 HVGA display, has 3G, GPS, features a 3.1-megapixel camera, supports up to 8GB of memory, and has 5 hours of talk time with 130 hours of standby.

There has been speculation in the U.S. that the Gphone will cost $199.

The T-Mobile G1 is expected to sell anywhere between 250,000 to 450,000 units by the end of the year, depending on when the phone hits retail stores, says Michael Gartenberg, vice president of Jupitermedia.
