If you haven’t already bought a T-Mobile G1 and still would like to, then you would be happy to know that you don’t have to buy a G1 from T-Mobile and pay the full price. Announced just yesterday (October 28), Wal-Mart stated that they would carry T-Mobile’s hyped G1 within a few days. This was confirmed by an official spokesperson for Wal-Mart.
Melissa O’Brien, the spokesperson, also said that the G1 would sell for $148.88 with a two year contract. This is exactly $31.11 cheaper than what T-Mobile sells it for – $179.99. Roughly 550 Wal-Mart stores across America will be carrying the G1 starting tomorrow (October 29). So, if you are looking to get a good deal on a G1, then you may want to consider purchasing one from a Wal-Mart near you. Since 550 stores are set to carry the phone, I’m sure you will be able to find one near you.
It will be interesting to see if people decide to buy the G1 now that they have the opportunity to buy it for $31 cheaper. Let us know if you plan on getting one at Wal-Mart.

I called Walmart Nov 3rd and confirmed they will be selling the G1 at a discounted price. Unfortunately they will not be selling it until Nov 10th.
