Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

I got mine on the 20th :)

Have another one on backorder for November 10th. There was a glitch in their system that let you order two at the full discount, so I'll have another for $180 in November.

Pre-ordered mine September 23rd right after the press conference before the site kept going down.

You should check out www.androidcommunity.com

Only thing I dislike about the phone is battery life, but I'm sure it'll be resolved in future updates.

Badass phone. Good-bye Windows Mobile.

It's $25 a month for unlimited data + 400 text messages. $35 a month for unlimited messaging and data.

I'm going to attempt dropping back to the T-Zones package for $5.99. It uses the same APN so should still give me unlimited data. Although, at 14.99 for unlimited messaging and 5.99 for data, it isn't really too big of a deal.

works great anf fast as ----. i dont know if you can use java on this phone as i didnt read into it much. cant complain. got it gor the 179 plus tax and blah blah blah, so it came out to a litt over 2 bills. still, better than the Iphone and cheaper. Linux ftw!

You sure u can use the t-zones and still get unlimited data? If so that be cheaper than the 35 a month combo deal. Saving money works for me :)

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

It worked on the WinMo phones.

They used to use the APN: wap.voicestream.com and a proxy

Now it's: epc.tmobile.com without a proxy

The new APN worked on WinMo but I dunno if it'd work for this. I'll see if I can change services online and test it out.

Got them in my store today. Its funny, T-mobile 3G :3 its almost no where, and I live close to Ny city. I am thinking of picking one up and unlocking it to put on my at&t plan. BTW the OS is supost to be a open soures type OS, not like the i-phone.

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

yup! that is the word..... the bird bird bird....

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

WOOT...yep i got mine nogs... getting it all setup up. its already pimp. not getting a connection from my place it seems?

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

tell us when you tap out the memory on that bitch.... it only comes with like 1 gb right :X

the only bummer i see with this phone is the lack of memory, which can be fixed with a larger SD card.

also its kinda wack you have to use special head phones...

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

i have never used the headphones on any cell phone. i dont care about music on it, cuz my ZUNE is probably near by.

something i thought was retarded right off the bat was that you need to "import" all your contacts off your sim card. why wouldnt it just automatically do that?

Re: got my G1 phone today...woot!
 

There is 3G in over 120 cities now and it's growing quite fast (fortunately). A month or two ago it was limited to only 20 cities. Also, you can unlock it and use it for AT&T, if you don't want 3G. It uses an entirely different frequency (uses the AWS band) and will not work with AT&T 3G frequencies.

The OS is open source. They released the source code to the entire OS this week. It weighs in at a whopping 2.1gb.

you have 256mb ROM (reserved for OS) and 192mb RAM. It does come with a 1gb card, but I picked up an 8gb microsd for $25 shipped. There are 16gb cards that will work with it (must be class 4 until there's an update) but they cost around $75. This phone + 8gb memory card comes out to around the same price as the iPhone. The only difference is, there will be a shitton more software and support for this OS, it has a better camera (with mechanical autofocus), and you can even remove the battery or memory!

I do wish they had a 3.5mm jack, but I don't use my phone for music that much either. If I did, I'd use the 80gb 6G Ipod.

If you had a WinMo phone before, go to www.nuevasoft.com. It will sync your contacts to Google over the air. I did this because I sure as ---- am not going to manually put in all those contacts. Also, make sure you turn off the option that automatically adds contacts in Gmail or you're going to end up with a ton of garbage.
