Update: Since we published this article, we’ve received some specs from a few people/places. Click here to see a compiled list of the inner beauty.
It’s time to put this rumor to bed once and for all. We’ve seen a handful of mockups online these last few weeks guessing as to what the first Android handset is going to look like. We even saw a video that divided many fanboys, including us AndroidGuys. Well, thanks to a trusted source claiming to be close to one of the three parties involved, we’re here to show you officially what the G1 is going to look like and it’s very similar to what you guys have been seeing lately. There are only a couple of things to this design that we didn’t see coming.

We love the 5 row QWERTY keyboard with the spaced out buttons, reminiscent of recent Sidekick devices. We’re curious to see what that “menu” button is for as well. Obviously, we think we know what it’s for, but with this thing
Check out the back of the device where it shows “With Google” on it. It tells us that T-Mobile and HTC are using the brand recognition to help sell the handset. It’s also nice to see HTC’s name on the back as this will put them on the map in a major way. They deserve to see a little love for all the other handsets they’ve been pumping out over the years.
The more we see this thing, the more it’s growing on us. A black version of this handset will look very sharp, with brown and white iterations likely pulling in some fans too.
