Like most people, I am not a big fan of online advertising that gets in the way. I especially hate the types of ads that pop up on screen when you try to click through to content you want to read. I can understand that ads are needed to make the money to support a site, but I don’t have to like them.

Bad news for anybody hoping to get HTC’s latest Sense UI on their existing G1 or Magic. As we suggested might be the case yesterday, HTC have confirmed that due to the licensing terms of providing “with Google” branded smartphones they’re not allowed to offer Sense UI as an upgrade.

The launch of the HTC Hero and seeing how well the company’s new UI works has left many existing Android device owners looking at their smartphones with no small amount of disappointment. So news that HTC CEO Peter Chou has confirmed that “HTC Sense will be available on some other existing devices” has understandably stoked speculation that either the Magic or the original G1 might get an official injection of the slick new interface.

T-Mobile UK are the second carrier to announce that they will be offering the HTC Hero, after Orange UK threw their hat into the ring earlier. Unlike Orange, however, T-Mobile will be renaming the Hero; it will be known as the T-Mobile G1Touch, to better link with the original G1.
The specifications of the device are, unsurprisingly, exactly the same as with the Orange version. Orange claim to have exclusivity on the “graphite” finish, so we can only assume that what you see in these photos is a more generic gray.
The T-Mobile G1Touch will be available from mid-July (no word on whether that means it will land on Orange – who say “early July” – beforehand) priced free as long as you take out a minimum of a £40 ($60) per month contract. That will get you £225-worth of credit to be spent on calls, SMS and MMS messages, together with free on-device data access.
