T-Mobile has apparently a huge 1.5 million preorders of Google’s G1 Android OS based phone.This comes just 10 days before the T-Mobile-powered Android’s official launch date Oct. 22. Apple originally thought it would sell 10 million second-generation iPhones Apple this year. The G1 preorders are three times the original amount of phones T-Mobile ordered from Taiwan-based HTC, which rapidly sold out. You might remember one of my older posts that talked about this.. Current T-Mobile subscribers have higher priority on preorders.
A statement on T-Mobile’s Web site:
“Because of overwhelming demand, we’re setting aside even more T-Mobile G1 phones as a special thanks to you, our loyal T-Mobile customers. Supplies are limited, so this is your chance to order yours today before it hits the streets and guarantee you don’t go without.”
Pricing for the G1 starts at $179.99 for T-Mobile customers, plus taxes and fees; pricing is subject to upgrade eligibility criteria and a two-year contract is required. Sucks huh?? Orders taken prior to Oct. 21 will be delivered around Nov. 10.
Preinstalled Google features on the G1 include Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, YouTube and a bevy of other Google apps supported via Google Gears. An application storefront—the Android Market—features apps in addition to mashups of existing and new services from developers.
Some of the mentionable features on the G1 include a touch screen, Web browsing capabilities, 3-megapixel camera, customizable home screen, QWERTY keyboard, IM/text/e-mail, music player, video playback, and 3G network and Wi-Fi access.
Looks like there is going to be a major mobile phone fest this year with Nokia's 5800, Blackberry's Storm, Apple iPhone 3G and the G1. Enjoy the fun while it lasts!!

For T-Mobile’s G1, there will be a bundle of T-Mobile G1 Accessories online to select from; everything from Backup Batteries to Car Accessories, G1 Cases, Chargers, Cables, Headphones, Cradles, Bluetooth Accessories, and more. The list goes on and on, but basically the primary purposes of any G1 accessories are to add functionality, such as where you can use it and what you can use it with, make some features easier to use, and extend the use of the G1 Android phone.
