The T-Mobile G2 is available for pre-order for current customers as low as $199.00 with a two year contract. The phone will be delivered October 6, the same day it's available everywhere else.
Few can possibly deny that simplicity rules the internet. The most popular websites for particular categories are, invariably simplistic and clean. Craigslist, Facebook (which overtook the cluttered MySpace), Twitter (which I think is more popular than Facebook), and Google are all examples of this principal in action.
