G1 News

It seems like the lucky many who have taken ownership of the T-Mobile G1 yesterday will be getting a special surprise, namely the first over-the-air software update for the phone.

As with most early patches, it is only providing ‘enhancements’ as opposed to straight up bug fixing, kudos to the powers that be for such a swift remedy.

From the main screen, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > Build number.  Look for where it says RC##  If yours says RC19, then you are so last season, as the newest version is RC28.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then you, like me, have no G1.

Uh-oh. The first T-Mobile G1 Ad is a little bit “quirky”. Not sure if I like it. Needs more of a fanfare, not a “this isn’t an iPhone, but try it and you might like it!” feel.

Anyway, have a look.

After much hype and anticipation, the T-Mobile G1 has finally been released throughout the United States.

Whether online of from the comfort of their local stores, people across America have been catching a peek at the newest handset on the block, with Google’s exciting new Android operating system looking after the user experience.

So…is it any good? Will it change the world?

This video shows the build-up and eventual winners in the G1 Game of Life!

Christopher Laddish was number one in the queue, after waiting for almost 7 hours. Not that much compared to some of the iPhone utters, but a good effort nonetheless.

Well…this slightly calmer and more considered video shows you what will be in the box, and how it matches up size wise with the usual suspects!

Not long till the UK gets to taste the G1 loveliness too…
