The Android Site

Yeah, so what we’re a little late on this announcement. But the T-Mobile website is live with a countdown to the preorder date of October 19th, just over 18 days left. Pricing is $199 when signing a new 2 year contract, so it looks like Boy Genius called this one first, when every other blog was shouting it was going to be free on contract. The CLIQ will be available in stores starting November 2nd. As an added bonus, T-Mobile is running a little contest where you can win a free CLIQ and some sort of vacation, I’d almost rather have the phone.

T-Mobile customers and potential buyers, are you excited? Is this your next smart phone?
