Here in the States, we can’t wait until T-Mobile officially releases their G1 powered by Google’s Android.  Already, 1.5 million Americans placed their order for the new phone, and very few have ever seen how Android works.  This number will probably jump way up once it is released, but already you can see how popular it is, and I expect something similar to happen in the UK.

Within a short 15 days, those who live in the UK can get their hands on T-Mobile’s G1.  Now, the G1 will be available for free if you decide to get the “Combi” plan or the “Flext” plan, which both cost 40 Euros per month.  Also, both of these plans come with unlimited Internet usage, and varying amounts of minutes and texts.  The UK version of the G1 will come in both black and white, bundled with a 2GB microSD card, and uses UK’s HSUPA network, similar to United States’ HSDPA. 

In addition, Jim Hyde, Managing Director in T-Mobile’s UK division, had this to say about the T-Mobile G1:

“With so much excitement generated by the announcement last month, we’re thrilled to bring the T-Mobile G1 to the UK in time for Christmas. It’s set to revolutionise the way we use the internet on our mobiles: it’s uniquely built for effortless online communication - whether you want to email, text or blog - and with access to some groundbreaking applications on Android market, the possibilities really are endless.”

It will be interesting to see how well T-Mobile’s G1 fares in the UK market.  Stay tuned for continuing coverage.
