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 built a keyboard attachment for my phone (https://github.com/Dakkaron/Fairberry) because I missed having a keyboard so much. Since it’s easy to detach, I can quickly switch between physical and software keyboard.

    For example, if I want to type really quietly, I switch to the software keyboard. But I really hate it. The physical keyboard is SO much better.
