Walmart hasn’t said whether it plans to sell the phone in more stores in the US.

In a related story, the T-Mobile G1 has gone on sale in the UK, Vnunet reports. It’s available free of charge with a $70 a month contract.

Jim Hyde, managing director of T-Mobile in the UK said:

“With so much excitement generated by the announcement last month, we’re thrilled to bring the T-Mobile G1 to the UK in time for Christmas.”
