High Tech Computer is projecting that sales of the Google Android-powered T-Mobile G1 smartphone will exceed one million units in 2008—maybe. At least that's the word from HTC CEO Peter Chou, who just said as much in an interview with the Chinese-language Economic Daily News, according to DigiTimes.
The blogosphere has gone around on this topic before, though. Several credible reports back in October stated that the T-Mobile G1 already had 1.5 million pre-orders racked up. But the term "pre-orders" is vague and doesn't necessarily apply to end-customer sales. Chou's recent quote of one million confuses matters more, not less. (For comparison's sake, the iPhone hit its sales goal of 10 million units before the end of '08, and BlackBerry numbers tend to hover in a similar range.)
Either way, in two weeks, CES 2009 will likely bring some new Android device announcements, HTC-related or otherwise. It's an open OS, and it seems to be off to a strong start.

I received the G1 for Christmas and within a couple weeks of receiving it the screen cracked. My husband and I both have contacted t-mobile and the repair center and they all say the same thing. Too bad so sad, buy a new one! We are completely disgusted by that!What customer service! Any suggestions?
