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.
I completely agree with this, but I also remember physical keyboards being kind of a necessity in those early days, you know.
I remember moving back to a full physical keyboard after my first touchscreen and I really didn’t feel like touchscreen keyboards were acceptable until I got a windows phone (remember those?).
Still, as much as I would like the option touch keyboard have come a long way, through a bunch of improvement in touch sensitivity, software, autocorrect working in languages other than English too, swiping, so I suppose even someone who kept on to the physical keyboard like me wouldn’t make the switch back.
