T-Mobile Stops Accepting G2 Pre-order Due to High Demand

There's no way to tell if this is a legitimate shortage, or just a ruse to stoke the fires of demand, but T-Mobile says they cannot accept any more pre-orders of the T-Mobile G2. They claim the reason for this is high demand. The phone goes on sale officially tomorrow, but some stores have already been selling it. Customers will be able to order the phone as normal tomorrow, but T-Mobile isn't making any promises about shipping times.
The G2 is a sliding QWERTY Android phone that is very much the spiritual successor to the original G1. The phone runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and supports T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ network. Some early reports of loose hinges and missing storage seem not to have hurt demand too much. Customers might even find devices scarce tomorrow, depending on how much of the stock T-Mobile sold through on pre-orders.
Let us know if you manage to pick on up. If you've already got one, is it living up to the hype?

I have had my G2 almost a week now, and I love everything about it. It does seem that I only have 2GB of ROM, but with the 8GB SD card I dont think that will be an issue for now, I hope they do right and fix the issue. The keyboard is not the same as the G1, you have to "ALT" to get to the numbers and a lot of symbols are hidden. If all you do is text, then its a great lay out, but I find it annoying that I have to constantly alt to type numbers, and enter the symbol menu for certain characters.
