T-Mobile has officially announced the nationwide availability of the T-Mobile G1 handset powered by Google’s Android OS. The G1 as you know is the first Google Android phone to be made commercially available and is manufactured by HTC. The reviews thus far have been fairly positive though the G1 does have its quirks. However, for a version one handset, the G1 isn’t bad at all.

Anyone can now purchase the G1 at select retail stores around the country or at the G1 website at http://www.t-mobileg1.com. To support the launch of the G1, T-Mobile has done the following:

• Established an online forum for the G1 at http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/
• All T-Mobile retail stores will be open at 8am today (or later today that is)
• T-Mobile G1 experts will be on hand to demo the phone.

For new T-Mobile customers, the G1 is available for $179.99 along with a new T-Mobile plan. The phone is normally sold for $399.99.
