So the good news is that T-Mobile has decided to keep right on taking pre-orders for the G1 through October 21, just one day before the handset's official launch. The bad news, though, is that it doesn't mean you'll be getting your Android on come October 22. Turns out that the initial allotment of G1s set aside for pre-orders is now sold out completely, and any names taken between now and launch will be allotted phones being shipped "at a later date." It's not clear if a "later date" means a week, a month, or a decade after the 22nd, but for the sake of everyone involved, we hope its the former.Update: T-Mobile's site says that pre-orders taken from here on out will be delivered "as early as November 10," so it looks like you early birds are going to have a nice little period of exclusivity. Thanks, everyone!

what happens if we pre-ordered it yesterday?
Then you get it by October 22nd. As long as you preordered before 5pm Pacific Time on Oct 3rd you're okay.
i talked to a T-Mo CSR yesterday and she said the SRP of the G1 isnt even set yet. in other words, theres a slight chance the price could go down from what its listed at now on the site. (although highly unlikely is my guess)
My wife tried to pre-order yesterday and had issues trying to complete her order on line. She waffled when I asked her if she wanted to order it when I order mine about 2 hours after pre-orders began on launch day. What sold her was viewing a .pdf I have had for a few months that shows several programs that will be available for the G1. Don't listen to the whiners the software is what makes this phone!
