Best Buy has its fancy little iPhone 3G , but it'll be Wally World offering up the G1 outside of official T-Mobile outlets. As we'd heard yesterday , 550 Walmart stores across the country will begin selling the Android-powered handset beginning tomorrow, and folks who opt to pick one up here versus a traditional T-Mob store will save $31.11. Yep -- according to company spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien, the new / upgrade-eligible customer price for a Walmart-sourced G1 will be just $148.88 with a 2-year agreement. Wait, what? You already purchased your G1 at the full price ? They always said the early bird pays the premium... or something along those lines. T-Mobile G1 coming to Walmart for $148.88 originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:58:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , T-Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , Android It's one thing to appear on a website before being officially outed. It's another to have a web portal designed specifically for a handset. On the eve of its official debut in the Big Apple, T-Mobile has launched the definitive G1 website, complete with a G1 logo, the time and date of tomorrow's press event, a few tabs sure to be chock full of juicy details just as soon as said event closes, and most importantly, a pre-order button (of sorts) in order to sign up for what we can only fathom to be a notification of availability. 10:30AM tomorrow morning -- we'll be there , you'll be there.

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , T-Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , Android With under a week to go before the HTC Dream is officially unveiled in the Big Apple, the Wall Street Journal has given us something juicy to gnaw on for the time being: a price. Unsurprisingly positioned to compete directly with the iPhone 3G , the Android-powered HTC Dream / G1 will go for a cool $199 (with 2-year contract, obviously) when it launches on T-Mobile, though there's no word yet on what it'll run sans subsidization. So, how do you like dem Apples? [Via Fortune ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Handsets , Announcements digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Google_demos_the_HTC_Dream_at_I_O_conference'; Word on the street is that Google just busted out a live demo of the oft-rumored HTC Dream doing its Android -flavored thing at the company's I/O conference in San Francisco. Reports tell us that the device is a roughly 3-inch by 5-inch touchscreen phone with a slider keyboard. Not a lot is known right now, though apparently the device packs an accelerometer which allows you to tilt the unit to scroll across Google Maps or Street View. A video is on the way, so stay tuned for more information (and images) as we get them. Update: Video after the break!
