Well it looks like somebody in the shipping department made a slight error at T-Mobile, and now we are hearing many T-Mobile customers who pre-ordered the HTC G1 smartphone from T-Mobile are receiving the units today.

After discussing the issue with the local T-Mobile store I was told that only current T-Mobile customers were given the ability to pre-order the G1, and with upwards of 1 to 1.5 Million pre-orders to fulfill T-Mobile didn’t really have a choice but to start shipping the units late last week in order to get them out to customers by the Oct 22nd release date.
