t mobile g1 In the US, T Mobile Moves a Million G1s

The headline says it all. Good job T-Mobile, for selling a million G1 smartphones, or 66 percent of your total US 3G sales. Android will be so proud. We’re not talking Apple or Blackberry levels of market share here, but it’s a great start considering the smartphone only launched in October of last year, and with no 3G coverage at that. Deutsche Telekom, which reported the statistics, says 3G smartphones will be a major selling point in the year ahead. Accordingly, T-Mobile will expand its US “points of presence” under the 3G network from 107 million to 205 million. It’s going to be a bloodbath as telecoms try to sell you their fancy handsets.
