T-Mobile's G1 Could Be a Tough Sell

The G1, the highly touted phone using Google (GOOG Quote) software, will hit stores next month, but the device may not be enough to put a dent in AT&T (T Quote) and Verizon's (VZ Quote) subscriber growth.

The phone, which is being made by HTC exclusively for Deutsche Telekom's (DT Quote) T-Mobile USA network, was introduced earlier this week as the first handset device to use Google's Android operating system. The G1 will be available at T-Mobile retail stores beginning Oct. 22 for $179.99 with a two-year voice and data agreement.
