T-Mobile has announced that they’re bringing the first Android handset to the United Kingdom on October 30th., a few short days after it’s due to land in the U.S. Earlier rumours were pointing to November, but it’s good to see T-Mobile being a little more optimistic. It’ll be available for free (!) on a £40 monthly contract in white and black; sorry if you were holding out for the brown. Hell, at that price, who can complain about colour?
