    • Hi Staska,

      only a correction: The Dream/G1 is available in Europe, at least on T-Mobile UK and T-Mobile Germany; DTAG says it'll be launched soon on Czech Republic, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands
    • Thank's for the heads up
    • Anyone know when will it be available in Hong Kong? (I'd buy it without a plan just to try it out)
    • letsmotor
