T-Mobile G1 Hands-On

Can you cut and on web pages and text messages if how? Thanks in advance.

there are many reasons why i'm unhappy with both my current carrier and phone. one surprise i don't want again, is getting a phone that DOESN'T allow mp3 ringtones. so, does the g1 have that capability?
i'm sure, being an open platform, even if it doesn't out of the box, someone would have created a app for it, but i've assumed before, and we all know where that gets us...

i have just one question, will the g1 ever be available on any other network? t-mobile doesnt get very good signal near me, but i really want the g1, so im wondering if it will be on o2 at any point??

I was wondering does anyone know is there a website where you can view the apps that are available for the G1.
Any info would help
Thanks

All I need is Hotmail access, and I'd be in phone heaven!

TMobile will not be getting Cupcake but you will receive an Over the Air (OTA) update (1.1 RC33) to your G1 between February 5 and February 15. It will take care of the following :

New Enhancements:
The ability to save a picture or file to the memory card from a MMS message by long pressing on the item.
New "Check For Upgrades" feature gives customers the ability to check for system upgrades.
New "Voice Search" feature allows customers to perform a search faster by providing quick access to a Google search box without having to first open an Internet browser and load Google.com
Known Issue Fixes:
Comcast fails to download more than one e-mail.
Error "Sorry! The application XXX is not responding".
Wi-Fi disconnecting forces...

Hey, all.

I have a question about the navigation available thru google. Does it have the capability to give you turn-by-turn directions with voice? or does it just show you a map like a Thomas Guide would?

Thanks in advance,

P.

Is there a way to use this phone in a horizontal position with the keyboard closed?

Is there a way to set it up so that its only in horizontal? im not a big fan of the vertical view.

Does anyone know when the ota release date is 🤨

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just got my G1 today. I ditched my Iphone 3g for it(90 bucks a month is nuts for a phone bill) My question is can the G1 play my Itunes songs? Thanks for any answers.

I was wondering if I am the only lucky person to have a normal working battery? So far the ones I have sold have not had issues either. I am averaging about 10 - 12hrs of juice. That includes using my phone to demonstrate the G1's features. The only time I really dump a lot of juice is when I demonstrate StreetView. Other then that, I have been charging my phone once a day (at night before bed) and it has been just fine.

I am in the P.A area, anyone else out there get themselves a good amount of juice out of the battery? I think the battery issue may only be a issue with the battery itself. Maybe there was a bad batch? Im reaching, i know, but i dont know what else to think. After all, my whole shipment works fine...so far.

I'm curious, if I'm out of memory, and I want to download more apps, can I download it to the computer?

I'm curious because I don't want to lose these apps while they're free, but I have NO clue how to put them on the computer, any help would be great.

I run out of phone memory and i want to download more apps onto this device? does it automatically store onto my memory card?

also, what is the max amount of memory that i can have on this device?

being an iphone 3G user i can admit im kind of spoiled when it comes to phones. when the G1 was first advertised, i thought street view was the coolest thing id ever seen, but with the recent iphone update bringing street view to the ever growing iphone repetoir, the G1 has nothing more to offer thats new. the phone also lacks the "sleekness" that we all expect from the new big thing. yeah, its a great phone, and all the iphone haters now have a comperable alternative, but its no better than apples home run.

p.s. the keybored kind of sucks, but is still there, so i cant complain

Why would you put the white version of the phone if on the 22nd it won't be an option to choose from...won't even be an option this year

I heard that the applications are free until January. My question is if they are free until January do I have to pay for the ones I already downloaded? thanx in advance

It appears that the G1 running Android has been quite a success!

Not bad for a new phone AND OS being out on the market for a limited amount of time. 😁

Does anyone know how to upload photos to websites from the phone.. all it says when i wanna upload a photo is upload disabled.. my wing let me do it and thats one of the things i loved about that phone and i get this phone and doesnt allow me to do it... Do i need to download an app or enable it somehow?? HELP!!!

If u get this phone prepare yourself for serious buyers remorse.This is a phone full of cant do this cant do that. Hard to use keyboard, slow speeds, lacks many standard features. Even street view is slow. Smart buyers beware. 👀

Hey, I just got my G1 yesterday...however it DID NOT come with a user manual..and I was downloading ringtones from myxer.com...does anyone know if those can be saved to the memory card andhow can I specify that certain things be saved to the card and not the phone.....thnx in advance for anyone who can answer this for me!!!
