Reports have it that T-Mobile is planning to offer up the new T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) with free access to Google’s Gmail service. Makes sense to me.
Now, I can hear you saying ‘But Gmail is already free!?’. That’s true. The catch here is that T-Mobile would offer up the Gmail service without any data charges being added. So basically it would mean unlimited email for G1 users, as long as they use their Gmail account. I should note too, that YES, ads will be displayed (of course), but from everything I’ve seen so far, the ads are non-intrusive, and really not that bad at all.
What do you think? Is this the unique twist that will boost sales of the Android phone? Google has to look for something to drive sales. This added extra feature could glean some rewards… We’ll have to wait and see…
