Are you an Android developer looking to test your apps on multiple GSM networks? Are you anyone else, simply looking for an unlocked HTC G1? In either case, Google and T-Mobile will apparently be happy to hook you up. A special “developer version” of the G1 is now available from T-Mobile 100% SIM and hardware-unlocked. Woo! The handset can be purchased from T-Mobile’s G1 site and shipping within the US is free. It is also available to be shipped internationally to 18 different regions. There is a catch of course but it’s hardly a big one. Since the unlocked G1 is intended for developers, you will have to register on the Android Market site and pay a one-time registration fee of $25. That brings the grand total of this fully-authorized unlocked G1 to $424 shipped. Yeah, we’ll take it.

    I’ve had a chance to play with the G1 phone for a bit and I kind of like it. Pros: It has a large touch screen for good interaction, it has a full keyboard(a thing Apple needs to add.), the touch interface works pretty good, it has a fairly good sounding speaker phone, the idea of it having an open operating system for tird party developers to develope software is cool. Cons: Needs to support office word documents. (Java Office would be cool. It supports MS Office as well as stand alone. Maybe Java developers will create a mobil version.)It’s first generation design isn’t all that attractive, needs to support larger memory cards, 32 gig would be nice. Maybe a 5mp camera. Needs to support 3G or faster networks and a key pad that lights up if it doesn’t already. I can’t remember if it does or not.
