The G1′s are suppose to be available in 500 Walmart stores today.
They’re not in a couple stores in my area.
Anyone know which stores?

From what I have read elsewhere on this news, the discounted price is only available to NEW subscribers who begin a 2-yr contract with T-Mobile. As always, the deals are more attractive to the people who HAVEN’T been loyal customers for years and years! To my knowledge, Wal-Mart has never been able to renew contracts, only begin them, so those who were able to pre-order (current customers) are just S.O.L. :(

@Lerryjee
Since when has preordereing ever been cheaper?
Fact is that you pay a little extra to get it before everyone else.

Nice move by T-Mobile!
I´d buy it from walmart, no questions asked!

Lerryjee,

That’s the price of wanting to be an early adopter. Always has been, always will be.

Unfortunately, as someone who pre-bought the G1, now I’m ticked off that they’re already cutting the cost. What was the point of pre-buying? Horrible work on T-Mobile’s part. And Walmart is crap.

This is an amazingly smart move by T-Mobile and Walmart!

I would. May as well buy it at walmart considering I am already there to buy food, fish hooks, clothes, Cds and pretty much everything else I buy.
