Available in the UK? Certainly hope so. And I have an 'old' GMail account

Edit: hmm, I joined right back when you sortof applied; my oldest mail is mid-February 2005. Who's got older?

EDIT: I knew I shouldn't have deleted the older messages. Old habits die hard I guess.

From the article you may get a rebate.
"The firm could well demand that a Gmail account be at least five years old, or limit the $100 rebate to the first x amount of people buying the new device but, either way, even at $200, we imagine Google is keeping fairly close to cost price."

Gah! The earliest I have is May 2005 - so very unlikely to qualify. I need a new phone too.

I would'nt worry to much it's all speculation anyway.....
