On Tuesday evening, a San Francisco store will be the first to sell the hotly anticipated Google Android-powered phone -- getting an 11-hour head start on the rest of the country.
The T-Mobile store located at 699 Market St. will begin selling the HTC T-Mobile G1 on Tuesday at 6 p.m. PDT. A T-Mobile spokeswoman is advising interested buyers to line up early, as supply is limited. She did not specify how many units the store will be carrying.
All other T-Mobile locations will open doors early at 8 a.m. PDT Wednesday (yes, 5 a.m. on the east coast) to begin selling the phone.
The G1 will be the first handset running Google's Android operating system. Though some early reviews express concerns about the handset's bulky, "fugly" aesthetic, consumers and developers are generally more excited about the implications of Google Android's open-platform market, which, in theory, will allow programmers to code any applications for the OS without restrictions.
