T-Mobile lowers price of G1 admission in the UK to better compete
Engadget —
... it's not a reaction to poor sales, industry analysts are saying otherwise. In fact, a company spokesperson even states that it has chosen to "offer the device free with a £30 contract to make the pricing more competitive in light of recent device launches," even though it is "well on track to achieve [its] sales forecasts." Whatever the agenda, we're all about getting phones into hands for less, so three cheers all around. Except for you early adopters... bummer, eh?

T-Mobile UK cutting back prices on the G1, early adopters not getting screwed for once
MobileCrunch —
... Better yet, anybody who picked up a G1 from T-Mo UK before the price drop can get in on the deal as well, according to Pocket-Lint. While T-Mobile’s not going to go around calling people to say “Hey, want to give us less money each month?”, you can give them a ring to have your £40 monthly fee dropped down to £30.

T-Mobile insists the price drop isn’t a result of poor sales of the G1, but industry sources reckon the £10.00 drop is T-Mobile’s attempt to “overcome fierce competition from other high-end devices.”
