T-Mobile: Android presales better than expected

Posted on Tuesday, October 07 2008 @ 22:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
T-Mobile claims preorders of the G1 Android phone are much better than anticipated, the operator claims presales are three times greater than it expected:
The operator didn't disclose how many devices it has sold, so it's not clear that this is evidence of overwhelming demand for the G1, the first phone to run Google's Android software.

The news follows reports last week that some customers trying to preorder a G1 were told there were none left. At the time, T-Mobile said there were still a limited number available.

T-Mobile now says it tripled the number of phones it had earmarked for presales of the G1 and that customers have ordered them all.
The T-Mobile G1 phone will be available on October 21.
