CellHut is now offering the T-Mobile G1 apparently without a contract. Some of you want the regular version of the T-Mobile G1 without purchasing the unlocked developers version even with the cool graphic on the back.
The “T-Mobile Google G1” as they call it wont cost you the $699.99 that is advertised on the CellHut website, but the sale price of $499.99, this may be a lot of money but hey you get free shipping! . At this point we just recommend just getting the unlocked developers version, at least you get the cool design and save $100.
For those who are still a bit new about this type of phone, an unlocked handset is one in which you can use on any GSM/ SIM card enabled network with supported radio bands. For example the T-Mobile G1 is factory locked to only work with T-mobile, if you get an unlocked version you can then use it with AT&T, Cricket and MetroPCS phone plans.

Here is a link to a Washington post story about Cellhut and the credit cards that were stolen and used.

do they offer a bulk discount? say, 2 for $1500?

I believe L.A Times vs Free Republic would hurt the Fair Use argument.
I could have done an excerpt and link, but then again I would be providing a active link to the story.

Do the math. $500 for the unlocked version is not a good deal.
G1's on ebay UNOPENED go for about $330 - $450

You can buy a locked G1 without a contract at Wal-Mart for $375. At least, that's what I paid for mine in late October. Now, I have no intention of unlocking mine, but I suppose if I needed to, a simple call to T-Mobile would get me the unlock code I needed.
I have read that T-Mo requires that you have the phone in service for 90 days before they give you an unlock code. I've also read on other sites that some CSRs are refusing to give any unlock information, but if you get the right (or a higher-level) CSR and tell them you're traveling to a foreign country, they'll e-mail you the codes you need.
Even if they didn't give you one, you could probably buy one on line for about 15 bucks.
So, why would anyone want to pay 500 bones for their "service."
What's also ironic is how they describe all the wonderful features of the the G1, most of which only work if you have T-Mo's data plan.
