G1 hits the white cliffs of Dover

THE MUCH-VAUNTED G1 phone has made it to the UK, much to the relief of Brit geeks and geekettes, tired of being mocked by the Jesus Phone lot.

Actually it hasn’t but it’s almost like it’s here.

T-Mobile has started taking pre-orders for the phone and drawn up some price plans that will bind your soul to this little chunk of plastic for 18 months.

40 quid a month will get you a G1 and unlimited internet access, heralds the operator. Unlimited being slightly askew a concept to T-Mobile: so long as you don’t go over a 3GB/month threshold, T-Mobile won’t limit your internet access. Considering the G-Phone has integrated Wi-Fi, you might be better off hooking up to wi-fi as soon as it’s in reach.

Delivery of units will start next week, if there are enough to go around. Available in black, white and Union Jack (not really). µ
