The T-Mobile G1 is available unlocked for $399 under a new name: The Android Dev Phone 1. The Android Dev Phone 1 is the same device as the T-Mobile G1, except it is completely open. Forget going online and giving a stranger your IMEI or following an online guide for some sketchy hardware unlock. All you will need is an Android Market account to qualify. Head over to the Android Market site for more info. There is a $25 registration fee.
The Android Dev Phone 1 is a SIM-unlocked and hardware-unlocked device that is designed for advanced developers. The device ships with a system image that is fully compatible with Android 1.0, so you can rely on it when developing your applications. You can use any SIM in the device and can flash custom Android builds that will work with the unlocked bootloader. Unlike the bootloader on retail devices, the bootloader on the Android Dev Phone 1 does not enforce signed system images. The Android Dev Phone 1 should also appeal to developers who live outside of T-Mobile geographies.
