Posted on its support forum, T-Mobile has told its T-Mobile G1 users that it will only roll out the Android 1.5 updates in early June. The message seems to be deleted from its forum, so it is still not confirmed if the released has been postponed to the next two weeks.

We are working diligently to get Android 1.5 out as soon as possible, while aiming to ensure a consistent, positive experience for our customers.
