Sorry Timbobsteve, I just realized I made a mistake in my previous email: I wrote free device but I did'nt mean free of charge but free of lock, unlocked. I realize it was quite stupid, sorry for my english. My concern is that in my country Android is not going to come until 2009 and I would like to buy a G1 in USA but I don't know if the ones that they sell in T-Mobile stores are unlocked or not. I know that the full price is 399 but will I be able to use the device abroad, with mi SIM? Can you explain me more about the 90 days unlock? I mean, if I came to the USA and I buy a G1 how can I unlock it after 90 days? Is the unlock something like a software update or it is a physical modification? Thank you very much!
