"T-Mobile will release a smartphone running Google’s Android operating system in Europe in the late third quarter, the phone’s Chinese manufacturer, Huawei Technologies, said Thursday."
Google really blew this. I've been looking at new phone on and off the last year, and finally went with a Blackberry as I'd used one before. Really wanted to like the Touch Pro when I got it, but the touch was just off.
My biggest wish was to get the Android, however only T-Mobile had one, and their coverage sucks here in the US.
Don't see why Google didn't cut a deal with Verizon to counter Apple's tie-in with AT&T. I definately like the G1, even with the weird swing down and out action. The GUI/OS and display seemed excellent.
With the Iphone 3G at $99, and a chance that AT&T may lower or customize some plans more reasonably, not sure if Android will get the chance to go very far in the future.

Isn't it common knowledge that the next T-Mobile USA handset will be the HTC Magic re-branded as the 'TMobile MyTouch'?
Also for years Tmobile USA (formerly Voicestream) has always been the last to get new handsets.
Google gave away 4000 HTC Magic phones at Google IO this year, it's an excellent handset and perhaps will be one that's released this year as well.
The Google IO phone, called the "Ion" is unlocked and will work on most networks.
I wouldn't really say they leaked it, they announced it via Twitter :p
