T-Mobile G1 coming to continental Europe by the end of the month

The first Android-based phone T-Mobile G1 is just about to be released in several European countries, according to an official by Deutsche Telekom spokesman. Initially released in October, the G1 was only available in the US and UK so far.

According to the T-Mobile CEO, Hamid Akhavan, the G1 will hit the shelves by 30 January in the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Austria. Germany and Poland will follow a bit later on (2 February).

Combined with a two-year T-Mobile contract the G1 will only cost 1 euro in Germany. There is yet no information about the pricing of the handset in the other European countries of the second wave.

We remind you that the T-Mobile G1 costs 179 US dollars with a two-year contract in the United States.

In the same time, T-Mobile UK offers the G1 for free when you enter into a year-and-a-half contract for a 40GBP monthly plan.
