For those of you who did not get a chance to pre-order the T-Mobile G1 and still would like to get your hands on it at least a few hours early, then today is your lucky day. There is one store willing to bend the rules a little, the catch is you have to be in San Francisco on Tuesday evening.

For those who just have to have an eleven hour head-start on the east coast at least, you better get down there quick. The T-Mobile store located at 699 Market St. in San Francisco will begin selling the T-Mobile G1 tomorrow at 6:00 PM PDT. Although no-one knows for sure just how many they will have on hand, a T-Mobile spokesperson is urging interested customers to line up as early as possible as their supply is “severely limited”.

Customers looking for a chance to get the G1 early are expected to pile up at the doors very quickly. All T-Mobile locations will be opening their doors to lines of excited customers at 8:00 AM PDT (5:00 AM on the east coast) on Wednesday. Personally if I lived in San Francisco I would be down there already. Do you think that the G1 is worth standing in line for hours just to get your hands on a little early?

  2. i will be there!
  3. Introsting, maybe this is Tmo's way of Hypeing the G1 a bit more before its release.


    Im sure they are hoping for a Huge line with news camera to document it on the news that night.


    hehehe i would love to see a "LIVE" from the line.

    hint hint matthewboii
  4. def def, just give me time to get pics up since i will be working with my p.o.c. ocean until i get my g1 haha
  5. ^Haha, there ya go!
  6. I'm not getting a G1, but I can head over there later and see if there really is a line.
  7. i should be leaving santa rosa around 230 i hope, so i might be there by 330, if you are there earlier then that you should totally pm me and let me know how it looks, im so anxious to get there early bc if you are one of the first 100 you get a free 4gb sd, hah, hella
  8. If mine wasn't already out on the UPS truck to get delivered I would definitely be considering getting in line for one... very excited.
  9. leaving now! will be sure to update as things occur ^_^
  10. I was over there at 3:00pm and there wasn't really a line. Don't know if they passed out tickets.

  11. It's on the news now, CBS 13.
    Well, was there. The line is much longer only after an hour from stopcrazypp's pic.
  12. Any pics of the line now?
  13. Sweet! This is the exact same store I bought my G1 at. I got the e-mail invite, but couldn't go on that Tuesday night because of class.

    I did go the following night (22nd), probably a half hour before they closed, and got my G1 with no problem (thought they might've sold out). There were only 3 people in there, and two of them were me and my wife.
