I heard that NYC and UK is getting the phone tomorrow, what is up with that? I guess we will find out if you come back with one!

 

[WhoFlungPoo]

From what T-Mobile has told me, they are releasing the phone first to the areas that have the 3G network. Like NY, Miami, Atlanta, etc. As the other major metro areas come online they will expand the phone offer. Supposedly, they are doing several areas per week and should have all the major areas done by the end of the year.

I hope my area gets is SOON. If you look at my cingular 3G coverage my entire county is solid. Being near LA and San Diego helps.

/Rubs his hands together.

Let's see what you can get for us, Rob 'ol buddy..

 

[Phases]

That was a pretty good press release! 45 minutes... pretty good show of the phone.. got some questions answered, etc.

and $179, you really can't beat that!

I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

p.s. On a side note, I wonder if Rob will be shaking hands with the Google guys..

All in all this looked very very good.

I called T-Mobile 611 and they said you could *only* preorder this phone at http://announcement.t-mobileg1.com/

This screen just says (still at 10:54 CT)
"All site content and information about the T-Mobile G1

 

[Dragon]

Okay, I logged into the T-Mobile site and it had "order the G1" in a graphic in the middle of the page. I did that and it is on it's way a month from now!

 

[Phases]

Aww, gotta be current T-Mobile customer to do so?

 

[Paul_K]

Still trying... reload page, click "Get it First", close popup, repeat... :

Ah. You're the one that brought the server down.

 

[Paul_K]

it is on it's way a month from now!

I hate you. I have to wait until the first quarter of next year!! *whine*

Wow Live Blog was Epic Fail for most part. More on that later. I'm going to do a post called, "Confessions of a Live Blog Failure" hehe... should be kind of interesting, actually.

If it will work on any GSM network, it will work on ATT no?

 

[Paul_K]

If it will work on any GSM network, it will work on ATT no?

If it will work on any GSM network, yes. In the presentation however, they said the G1 is simlocked to T-Mobile. It is probably a matter of time before that's hacked, though, as the Android platform is opensource. We'll see.
