I have seen the numbers for The Netherlands, and it was close to 450euros.

IIRC Google will include the import taxes in your price.

People have been able to turn T-Mobile branded phones into a Dev phone, but it probably involves taking lots of risks. But that only works with 'root access', and this hasn't yet been achieved for European G1's.

go to http://www.android.com/market/ , sign up as developer (US$ 25), and order the phone ($ 400 ex shipping and tax).
