Michael Martin over at Google Android News has reported that T-Mobile UK announced availability of the T-mobile G1 on a £40 per monthplan with ZERO intial cost. Yes, that’s right, the poms get free G1s! It’s a bloody outrage I tells ya. They are apparently available from October 30th and 25,000 lucky anglo-techies have pre-ordered the G1.
You poor yanks have to hand over $175 of your hard earned credit crunched dollars, while the tea-sipping nancy-boys in the UK get their G1 for nada. WELL I WON’T STAND FOR IT. (Ok I will)
Here’s T-mobile Uk’s page about the G1..
Now if only they’d make the G1 available in Australia.. I would be a happier man.
UPDATE! Here’s the official press release

If you look at the costs over the two year contract period including monthly payments the US phone works out at 175 USD CHEAPER than the UK deal.
Where the up front price is less in the UK, the cost per month is noticably higher, thus making it more expensive over the contracts minimum time period, and for every month over the 2 years you stay on the contract the total cost of ownership gets more expensive if you buy the ‘phone in the UK compared to buying it in the US.
