Just to verify for readers, you're currently looking at the ONLY image/indicator of the G1 at the top of the page. The link goes to an empty page that is on a domain (t-mobileg1.com) owned by TMo: http://phandroid.com/2008/08/26/htc-dream-vs-t-mobile-g1/

G1 isn't the worst name in the world, though TMobile does seem to have a knack for tragic names of their rebranded handsets. I'd rather have seen something that rolls off the tongue like GMo or A51 or frigginawesomeportableadvertisingdevice.

FWIW, the only being able to see the page once logged in would go hand in hand with the information that preorders will be available to current TMo customers only. The page has a link to a popup for the registration, which does not go anywhere.

Popup URL is http://www.t-mobileg1.com/?WT.mc_t=CM&WT.mc_n=g1_WelcomeReg which is fake (it seems), and t-mobileg1.com is registered to Mark Monitor, the leader in online brand protection.

Who cares. I'm ordering my phone soon unless info comes out about an HTC Touch HD w/ Android. The Android SDK/emulator is exciting in the mean time.

Er... after doing some searching, it seems TMobile somewhat quietly rolled out to Houston, Dallas, San Diego, Miami (this Tues), Portland, etc.

Wow. Way to go!

Uhm...does anybody else not see *ANY* Texas cities listed? Houston is what -- the fourth largest city in the country? But Tampa?! Really? So much for my little piggy bank that has been happily awaiting the release of G1.

Please be in the near future of Android/HTC releases, please be in the near future of Android/HTC release... How can T-Mobile/HTC/Google be hyping the fugly Dream at the same time as working on this?

Just the ol' Timex Ironman Triathalon 584. Oh, and since the wristband is freshly destroyed I'm sadly using my trusty Moto V188.

Two fleas past a hair?

Neh, just the ol' Timex Ironman Triathalon 584.

Current wrist chronograph is a Timex Ironman Triathalon 584 w/ heart rate monitor and broken wrist band. Oh, and the rubber face has pulled off.

:\

This reminds me somewhat of the studies involving paralyzed-limb patients moving their other limb(s) in front of a strategically-placed mirror. Often they were able to recover from their paralysis significantly faster than patients without the mirror. You can call it psychological bs, but the mind is stronger than you might expect.

If your goal was to get me to read EngadgetMobile more, you have succeeded. My phone is dilapidated and yours are strong!
