    Hi guys, I'm a developer from Italy, I love Android but, as other technologies, It won't be in Italy until next year, 2Q.
    I'll be in the USA next month and I'm wondering whether it's possible to buy the G1 at full price (I read that this should be possible, at 399$).
    Can someone confirm me this? And, will the device be unlocked?
    Thank you guys!!!

    People were lined up at two of the t-mobile stores around here. Felt bad for them. I've had mine for 3 days now.

    yea u can buy it full price but you will have to pay someone else to unlock it. It is 399.99 if you buy it for full price. Just don't buy it in Chicago, lol, our taxes are 10.25% on merchandise. Good Luck!!!

    I liked the idea of the G1. Tested it at a T-Mobile store yesterday. I loved the touchscreen and the keyboard. Keyboard buttons were a little flat, hard to tell if it was pressed or not.

    The only reasons I wanted the G1 was because it was a "glorified sidekick" with a touch screen. The most important application on a phone has to be AIM because I'm deaf and use that to communicate with friends/family. After seeing the G1 AIM, nothing can beat the sidekick's AIM. Hopefully they'll fix the AIM on the G1 or have a 3rd party develop a better AIM application. There was no idle notifications of screennames on my buddy list and I know for a fact one of them was idle for 5 days. It can be frustrating to IM people and think they're ignoring you when in fact they're idle.

    My contract ends in December, hopefully they fix all the bugs/problems with the applications. Also the bar code scanner didn't work. I scanned a car charger at the tmobile store and it didn't show any results! A Tmobile branded car charger!! How ironic.

    I just ordered mine over the phone since I am in a non 3G city... they said it would ship Nov 10th. I am a bit taken back by the delay considering the increased production. I'm very jealous of all of you...
