T-Mobile G1 Unlocked

You know the thing about something that you knew was going to happen? When it does, do you still call it news? That's a little of how I felt today when I read that Android has been unlocked. Yeah, I know. Surprise, surprise, right? The only thing newsworthy about it is that, for once, the iPhone isn't the target.

Thanks to the kids over at Unlock T-Mobile G1, any owner with a few spare moments and $22.99 can open their handset up for use on AT&T or any other GSM network across the globe. Initial tests have shown that calling and texting work just fine on non-native networks, but the inability to even login to Gmail (and thus, the Android Market, etc.) puts a real damper on things.

It isn't exactly DIY like some of the methods for the iPhone, but who knows? Maybe we'll see something like that in a couple of weeks.
