American Express was offering a deal on the T-Mobile G1 that was too good to miss. For a very limited time they were offering 200 handsets for only $125 each. Needless to say they sold out pretty quickly, it looks like a few people got really lucky this holiday.

We also came across a video of the Nokia n810 booting Android. Although we cannot vouch for the authenticity of the video, we have seen some pretty interesting devices running Android. T-Mobile is now reportedly training employees on the pricing and conditions of the new data plans that they are putting into place. They are reportedly going to be strict with the 10GB data cap, but we shouldn’t be worried about it too much as it is a high amount of bandwidth.

One user racked up $102.85 in data roaming charges while on a trip to the UK even though all data had been turned off. He placed a call to customer service before the trip to make sure there were not going to be extra charges and was told that he didn’t have to worry about it. We then found out that data roaming in UK models of the T-mobile G1 is turned off by default and must be activated it order to be on. We cannot even begin to imagine why this was set up this way.

If you haven’t noticed by now, the UK seems to be getting all the luck with the G1. From the white version, 2GB SD card and free handset, to the disabled data roaming, the UK always comes out on top. Now T-Mobile is slashing the monthly price plans for the G1 by 25 percent, bringing it down to only £30 (about $45 USD). FotMob is a football application that gives you live updates of your favorite team from Premier League, Championship, Bundesliga, Serie A, Primera Division, SAS ligaen, Tippeligaen, Adeccoligaen and Champions Leagues anywhere you go.

We have good and bad news to report as far as the next Android-powered handset. The Kogan Agora Pro is not the best phone in terms of specs, but if you’re in Australia and have to have and Android, you may want to pick this one up. For $399 you will be getting the full version and for $299 you will get a stripped down version missing features such as the camera, which isn’t missing much. If you pre-order now your handset will ship on January 29th.

At CES 2009, Hop-on will be announcing their new gambling software for Android. The mobile gambling market has been doing surprisingly well at fueling the addictions of those who enjoy gambling a little too much. Shazam has been adding to their database of songs. In fact 2 million have been added to give users a better experience searching for songs. This is a huge addition of 30 percent to their database.

Google is now pressing forward with pushing development for Android by offering fully unlocked G1 units. These units are only available to those who register as developers. The cost of these handsets is $399 and they are both SIM and hardware unlocked. Another perk to getting one of these is the newly added graphic design to the back casing. Lastly this week a new Brower that goes by the name Steel was released into the Android Market. While still buggy this browser shows great promise with the addition of an on-screen keyboard in future updates.
