Open mobile platform T-Mobile G1 gets to 1 million

Just read over at CNN that T-Mobile has sold it’s first million Android based mobile phones. Don’t get me wrong, I like what Android is doing to change the mobile space but 1 million in six months just doesn’t deserve any applause — Apple did it on the iPhone 3G in just weeks and Nokia is selling its 5800 XpressMusic at 1 million a month. If this goes on at this rate Nokia will have sold 15 million 5800xm’s compared to 2 million T-Mobile G1′s.

I’m still waiting for an Android mobile phone to be available locally — maybe I should stop waiting and get an Apple iPhone or Nokia 5800xm. The Nokia N97 might even be first to market globally than the Android mobile phone. This is not good news for me who wants to learn how to create mobile applications on the Android platform but no mobile phone available in the market. I just hope all those pre-announced Android phones will reach the market soon and I mean real soon.
