T-Mobile have confirmed that from January 2009, the Android G1 handset will be made available for sale from independent phone stores.

‘We offered it as a direct exclusive initially, and it was always the plan to open it up to the rest of the market [in time]. The Android software is fantastic, there are so many strong applications on offer.

T-Mobile UK have recently announced price reductions from £40 per month to £30 in an attempt to boost sales for the G1 handset.
