T-Mobile reports heavy presales for G1 Android phone

It seems that T-Mobile has quickly run out of its initial batch of HTC G1 Android smartphones. This comes just after it began taking preorders on the heels of its late September announcement for the company's first ever Android-based phone. The carrier is now claiming that due to G1 sales being better than expected, HTC has since tripled production for launch days. Preorders will continue to be taken through October 21 to be delivered at a later date. T-Mobile has its sight set on selling between 400,000 and 500,000 devices during Q4 of this year, with plans to order as many as two million of the G1s "in the near future."
