G1 - tonight we bid you a sad farewell

This is still my Android phone from almost 2 years ago. Its still going strong with the latest 2.2 firmware, when they said it couldn't handle it... I will probably upgrade at the end of the year when i can see the latest and greatest of the new Android selections.
G1 - tonight we bid you a sad farewell: "

The G1. The founding father of Android as we know it today has finally been removed from the T-Mobile website. This device has had quite a run since its launch in the fall of 2008, and we have seen a lot more happen for this device then we ever thought imaginable. The original Android device, the one running "only" a 528MHz processor, may have not been anywhere near the top in comparison to other device specs, but this will be a device that no one will ever forget. From the protoype demo by Andy Rubin to the leaked specs to the long awaited release the device will surely never be forgotten, heck it even landed itself a 2.1 based ROM for all the faithful users. Now, let's all take a minute to remember our fallen soldier. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
