I know from reading the comments and the forums so many of you are among the lucky pre-sale buyers for the G1. Apparently there are quite a few more of you than we previously thought as fool.com is reporting that over 1.5 million G1’s were sold during the pre-sale. The better news, more than that number are marked for availability in the retail channel. About 10 days ago there were reports that T-mobile had hopes to sell 2 million phones before the end of 2009, and now we could be looking at that number being eclipsed before the end of 2008.
This is all amazing news because everybody is buying into Android basically on faith, with the truth being that almost nobody who has ordered via pre-sale has actually touched the phone. This phone needs to be a success right from the gate, the iPhone needs a rival and T-mobile needs a win. I know that loyal T-mobile fans want nothing more than to shove the G1 into the faces of iPhone lovers everywhere and say “haha, I have a bar code scanner,” or something like that.

@Lance Romance
HOw are you going to be able to use both the g1 and the diamond?
It would be pretty cool to have both but i would get confused on which one my real phone is.
I think you will end up using the G1 more!!!!

UPS has received the electronic transmission of shipment detail from the shipper and a label has been created for your shipment. Once UPS has possession of this shipment, the tracking status will be updated.
What should I do?
No action is required at this time. This is the most up-to-date information about the status of your shipment. Check Tracking periodically for shipment progress updates. If you don’t see your shipment status change, you may choose to contact the sender to confirm that they have given the shipment to UPS.

Man its early but IM still freaking excited sorry all of you with ground!
This is BS
>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again.
I have not been able to access my tmobile account all morning?
@Kevman – Yea, join the BS club!
I just called T-Mo and they said congratulations your order was input correctly on the 23rd of Sept. Looks like it was finalized on the 29th.
You did everything right.. Um let me check to see if it has shipped..
Um It looks as if it did NOT ship yet.
Oh I wish we can order ours I am waiting for white…
Is there anything else I can help you with today!!!
I said you can order, she said not white yet..Oh…
I felt like saying aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh shut uppppppppppp…
————————————————————
SHIP MY SHIT!!!
Its obvious they are not shipping by FIFO!!!
Who the heck knows what their criteria is?
My bill is due on the 21st for $52bucks. Could that be an issue? I dont know!!!
I think I am gonna just stop looking. It’s really depressing hearing others who ordered later getting shipped. I am very happy for you folks but obviously jealous too…
Anyway, Nothing happening on East Coast (new jersey) on my end yet for anyone interested… Anyone from Jersey get shipped yet???
This sucks!!!
Apparently it looks like the only customers showing tracking information are on the west coast and the northeast region of the country. So I’m guessing the rest of us should start seeing tracking updates later on today. I hope I get mine early cause I’m just 10 miles from Forest Park, GA.
I just want to add I am “Really Happy” the shippng has started…
Oh and given the chance… I would have rubbed it all over the blog so no worries…
Everyone has a RIGHT to rub it in if its shipped!!!
Its good to know where they are at… Keep the updates coming!!!
We all been waiting!!!
PEACE!!!
I ordered on the 23rd and nothing yet
cutomer service told me mine was going to updated later on today so lets see what it says
by the way can anybody log into mytmobile cause i cant
