Loading ...Update: Pre-order is back up. Thanks A-Tron! We heard from our friends at T-Mobile today and here’s the official statement:
“The T-Mobile G1 microsite experienced a technical glitch this morning, and is now back up and running. Since Tuesday’s announcement, we’ve experienced heavy demand for the device. A small quantity of T-Mobile G1s are still available at this time for T-Mobile customers. Please visit http://www.T-MobileG1.com for details.” -thanks Kristen!
Note that there are only a small quantity of the T-Mobile G1s are available. That means if you want a G1, you better hurry because T-Mobile is running out!
With the overwhelming response to the announcement of the T-Mobile has run out of available devices for the G1 pre-order. Hundreds of people immediately jumped on T-Mobile’s site to pre-order their device. So many in fact that the site was down for several hours.
Very quickly users came forth reporting that customer service representatives were stating there was a very limited supply. Three days after pre-orders started it has been confirmed that there are no more devices available for a pre-order. There is no word on production levels, nor whether dealers will have any models on hand come the official release. Rumors of the white G1 experiencing paint chipping seem very possible with the lack of the white model for pre-order.
Those who have not yet pre-ordered their T-Mobile G1 may not be able to purchase the device from their local T-Mobile store if they are not within the 3Gcoverage area. It seems many dealers do not know any more than anyone else about the situation. I wonder if the G1 will be plagued with short supply.

Guys and gals, our friends at T-Mobile just contacted me to inform that pre-order is back up, but the bad news is there are only a small quantity of the T-Mobile G1s are available. That means if you want a G1, you better hurry because T-Mobile is running out!

Hey Vincent, do your contacts know how many there were available? So far, I don't think there's a confirmed number. --Just rumors, confused further by the white paint chipping issue. Do you think you could find out how many, once all the black and browns are sold out, had been sold?

Also are these preorders shipping with the headset dongle thingy so people can use 3.5mm headphones? I've read elsewhere that some early batches didn't include it which is going to suck hardcore for all the early adopters.

The user manual shows the contents of the box and all it shows is a USB headset. But who knows it can happen.

I'm not eligible for a full upgrade until Oct 12. What are the odds of the pre sale still being available?

I really wouldn't worry too much. It definitely sounds like demand is higher than the anticipated, but they are advertising the phone and should have at least some available for you to get launch date if you are unable to preorder.

Nope, everything will be sync via Google service, hence you will need a gmail account. So start writing those contacts down 
by remister

The only way to check tmail addresses is through the sidekick APN, which is only accessible from handsets with an IMEI in the Sidekick range.

I guess it's good I don't really use my tmail address.

I talked to a Tmo rep and she said that there selling out as fast as they can get them, she said yesterday they ran out and today they have them back. There must be a daily limit.

SOLD OUT~ you sleep in this game and u get rolled over. by franCyx
said, they are likely to expand that but there was no word "for sure"
either way. by Vincent
oh wait, everyone that did a preorder also has to wait until the phone actually ships. I'll continue waiting until I can upgrade to one for $179, not this $299 shenanigans. by ickyfehmleh
Not to brag, but mine is preordered
If you're just worried about getting your contact info from your Sidekick to GMail, try spending the $10 for Intellisync for Sidekick (available for purchase through your Sidekick Desktop Interface inside my.t-mobile.com). It will download all contacts and calendars into your Outlook on your computer. by snoslicer8
