T-mobile setup a flash based emulator of their upcoming Android phone T-Mobile G1 which visualizes some of the functionality of the of the first Android phone. The emulator has its shortcomings like displaying the Android phone in the wrong size and some functionality is severely limited.
Taking those limitations aside the Android phone emulator does provide a good overview of some of the functions that the Android phone will offer. It is possible to get a first impression of the Google browser, Google maps and other functions like receiving calls, sms or mms. There is no real interaction with the emulator though. It is for instance not possible to use it to open any websites or actually call someone.
The flash based website about the Android phone contains two additional sections that are important if you want to get an impression of the phone’s dimensions because they seem to display the phone in the correct size.
The above screenshot has been taken from the Android phone emulator while the screenshot below was taken from the 360 view option. The screenshot from the Android phone emulator had to be reduced in size to fit on the screen while the screenshot below depicts the actual size of the original screenshot.
It would have been better if T-Mobile would have used the correct Android phone dimensions for the emulator as well so that potential buyers and interested users would get a real feeling for the phone’s dimensions which is especially important for tasks like web surfing, emails and the phone’s qwerty keyboard.

Just want to learn more about the phone.(have one)
That’s a neat looking phone with a very nice keyboard. Seeing as it’s an emulator, I’ll take it that that’s not an actual phone model. Shame.
we are in android phones market, with different models. choose us, you will believe
nice idea and cool, but rather pointless. it’s outdated (running 1.5), and you can’t even slideout the qwerty keyboard. I understand the inability to call or text, but there’s no logical reason you shouldn’t be able to use the internet. without it, you can’t even download free apps from the market to test them. performance does not mimic real android in the least. In conclusion, this emulator fails to deliver the 2 most important reasons anyone would want to use this: testing apps and data, and testing root and custom ROMs so as not to brick their real phones.
