About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (565)

With under a month to go until the launch of the G1 handset, word is that T-Mobile and Google have high hopes for it, tapping up HTC for 2 million of the things!

They hope to sell approximately half a million over Q4 2008, with the following sales contributing NT$18 billion into HTC coffers into 2009. Two million may not seem a high figure in the face of 100 million units a quarter for Nokia, but to enter the market with a new device, OS and brand is no small feat.

The combination of a low price point and open hardware might make the G1 a success in the short term, but with forthcoming handsets to use the Android offer a different enough experience to warrant attention?

Time will tell.
