Bound to be a little biased in its favour as they have their own google application they are keen to plug but it has quite a nice video of them poncing about the Google offices with a G1 … [here]

Nice G1 review on Telegraph site
Thursday, October 30th, 2008If you can’t find a picture of the G1…
Monday, September 29th, 2008… just write ‘T-Mobile G1 phone’ under any HTC phone and copy and paste the ‘Google’ logo on it… ta-da!
That seems to be the attitude of the Telegraph online who despite being ahead of the curve on the release of the G1 in the UK still can’t seem to get the right phone for their pictures…
Telegraph exclusive (again!)
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008[edited] The UK’s daily Telegraph is (again) on the bleeding edge in terms of revealing HTC’s plans for the Dream in Europe. Well, either that or they have again got confused between T-Mobile in the UK and the US.
They state again that it will be available exclusively to T-Mobile UK and on the shelves in November. However, the fact that they show the image below with the alt text as “The Google HTC Android phone” (it’s not, it’s the Touch HD) perhaps indicates they are not quite on the pulse.
Meanwhile the WSJ announced that HTC expects to ship more Dreams than most analysts reckon they are likely too. HTC apparently reckon they could ship up to 700,000 devices.
Telegraph predicts Android in UK soon
Monday, September 8th, 2008The Telegraph yesterday published an article saying that the HTC Dream would be available in the UK on T-Mobile as early as November. This is either a real scoop by the Telegraph (who don’t mention their source) or a confusion about T-Mo in the US.
If it is true then I believe T-Mobile UK is a slightly unusual choice for launching the first Google phone. Sure, they were one of the first (excluding ’3′) to launch ‘all you can eat’ tarriffs but I question how much of Android’s target audience they can reach. T-Mobile must be hoping that users will move across to their network in order to get their hands on the first phones. However, I would speculate many will wait for unlocked phones to become available so they can stick with their current provider.
I hope that T-Mo don’t try to use the new phone as an excuse for extortionate monthly subscriptions and lengthy contracts. I have a feeling the first Google phone is going to get a tough ride in terms of comparisons to the iPhone, especially as the Dream looks very much like a rehash of the Sidekick. It would be unfortunate if it was further burdened by pricey contracts.
