Because there is no real competition btw the big “4″ here in the States.

In Europe there is more competition and people tend to buy phones more often.

Very Exciting times coming, can’t wait to see all the latest reviews once the G1 surfaces.

A great set of ShopSavvy video’s for the G1 has just been added to my blog: http://www.g1phone.blogspot.com

That’s BS. That 40 quid plan is about what I’ll be paying here AND I have to pay for the phone??? Also, the UK contracts are shorter. Why do Americans get the shaft when it comes to cell phones?

Now THIS is how rolling out a new product should go. Sadly, Tmo is the 4th largest national carrier in the US so they don’t get many exclusives, but when they do, boy do they strike. Reminds me of the pearl’s release and the long running Sidekick. I give Tmo a hard time (especially after how they fumbled so long with 3G), but it looks like they’re finally pulling it together.

Credit to the HTC/Google team too, but as we know, carriers are the make-or-break recently in a successful or crash-and-burn-screaming-baby-on-fire release. Who knows, I might actually not switch carriers.
