If you're a T-Mobile customer who's been dozing off for the past few days, you've already missed your chance to pre-order yourself a
G1. With any luck, that won't be a problem and you'll just be able to march into a store on or around October 22 and pick one up the old-fashioned way, but the window of opportunity for an utterly stress-free
Android buying experience is closed. We don't have hard numbers on just how many units were being offered through the pre-order program, but 60,000 is getting tossed around as a rumor, which would work out to about 10 percent of the total outlay
HTC is said to be aiming for by year's end. Of course, if you're
not a T-Mobile customer, this is all business as usual and you're just chuckling under your breath that everyone's stuck in the same boat now, aren't you, you sick puppy?

Update: Well, that was quick -- the "Log in to order" button is working once again. Any bets on how long until they're out a second time?

It's not sold out for me but I'm not getting the $179.00 price either. I'm being told I can upgrade for $299.00 with a 2 year contact extension. Guess they don't like my cheapo "I never talk, just surf all day" plan for my Dash...

Looking forward to the Sprint version of this phone

I think the Tmobile Webmaster needs to make that prompt window a little clearer for 'some' people.
That prompt only meant that the server was 'overwhelmed' with users trying to order all at the same time, or the cart server was being rebooted. I received that type of window the first few hours of the pre-sale, that didn't mean they were sold-out.
