Amazon just posted a product page for the white, bronze and black colors of the new(ish) T-Mobile G1 Android phone. While these phones are not yet in stock at the online retailer, their product pages are up and promise $5 of free MP3 downloads. Amazon appears to cover their bases with full disclosure that T-Mobile’s 3G is lacking by posting this notice:
A Note About 3G Phones and Internet Usage
3G phones are optimized for use with T-Mobile’s high-speed 3G network, but many of this phone’s functions will also work well on our moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you best.
Current estimated shipping time is 4 to 6 weeks though in practice the availability could be much sooner. UPDATE 12-21-08: Both the Black and Bronze are shipping now – the White still shows a 4 to 6 week backorder.

The comment about Edge/3G…I am waiting for it to come to Columbus but I have tried it on Edge and it’s not bad. Wifi is the best and my top 3 places I go have wifi in it…Church, Work and Home.
