rant on the lack of updates--tell me what you think
reading thru the news of virtually all the other carriers announcing their plans to update their android phones to 2.1 makes me really upset. ive had the g1 since it came out and been stuck with 1.6 for what now? a year? how fair is it that phones that just came out a month ago, 3 months ago, 6 months ago get 2.1 and we, with tmobile g1 and mytouch, get screwed. i understand the g1 doesnt have that much memory but this is something they should have thought about or plan a upgrade program for ppl with the g1. i just think its unacceptable. but thats it. thats my rant. please tell me what you think!
i agree

can it support slingbox and skyfire browser ?
I have a winmo phone and am looking into getting the new moto droid by verizon, but i need to know how good is the browser on android systems, does it open up everything like the skyfire browser? and does anyone know if android supports the slingmedia for slingbox application?
window mobile got nothing over the android in features and software, i am not sure if it has that app out there but i am sure there is something comparable to it...the browser however is faster than windows mobile and got more features...

buying used G1 do i still need to get the G1 data plan??? Plz reply
i am planning to buy a used G1 but i am not sure if it will work with my sim card even though it is with tmobile.... can any one help....
I'm pretty sure you must have the data plan to use the G1. Most of the apps need to access the Internet. I could be wrong but i would call customer service to make sure.
...
if u dont wnt tmobile data plan just get it for a week to activate the device then use only wifi to connect and disconnect or cancel ur data

Hero is sweet, was going to wait for the NAM version but bought a Rogers Magic( basically a mytouch with more memory) which works fine on AT&T's 3g network. And in Oct. since the Rogers version of this phone is not a google phone, they will be offeri...

Join app test group
Hey all. I am putting together a test group and would like you to join.
The idea is - a significant number of willing testers would be available to provide app review and feedback in a meaningful format for developers. The developers get useful feedback on tech (bugs, conflicts, interface) features (requests, suggestions) and market (value, price, appeal)... so they can make their apps better. The Android community gets a quality filter and feedback mechanism.
Apps get better, Android grows. The promise of an open development environment is supported.
If you are interested in participating, send me a response with your email address so I can pool testers together and communicate in the future.
You can see my blog on this at h...

if you're using chomp:
1)press and hold on the msg saying you have an MMS and it'll pull it up into the OEM messenger,
2)tap "download" then play.
if you're using just using "messaging", just skip the 1st step and go straight to pressing DL.

this is more for anyone flipping through looking for info on the phone itself to help in determining whether or not to purchase.

32 MB card?
Has anyone tried a 32 MB card in the G1? Wondering if it would work. Having to wait until end of my current contract to get a G1 of my own.
first off, i think you mean the 32gig not mb
and no the G1 will only support up to a 16g card

Device memory
How much memory is on the G1 itself? How many apps (approximately) can it hold?
the g1 has 256MB 128 for os and the other for system installed apps, then that lives you about 70 or less to play with. apps are range from about 20KB to 10MB. u do the math. (that is on a unrooted phone)
rooted phone apps can be install on to an ...

Third Party Applications
Does downloading non-market applications void your warranty? And are there any worth downloading?
not it does not, i have a few apps that are non market apps... such as tether wifi for root users, you can find it on the google project pages but it is no longer on the market.

Android is coming to take the market just not with the g1 compared to other phones and high end user this phone wont cut it. This may be the best phone for t-mobile but is not and will never be the best phone on the market id wait for the g4 or g5 mod...
