Early T-Mobile G1 render shows off a familiar but more eccentric look
A render has been shared by Android co-founder Rich Miner that shows off what the T-Mobile G1 looked like at one point.
In 2008, the first Android smartphone was launched, known to the world as the HTC Dream and to those in the United States as the T-Mobile G1. The handset design was interesting, featuring a sliding keyboard that would swoop out to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. There was even a physical trackball for precise navigation.
