Open source code without approval from Google means attracting hackers and anti-virus developers. Looks like this bait is not fishy but rather hooking us lab test guinea pigs. I'll just fold my arms and see what happens in the next decade. I love Google app but not their business style.
I'll say the same, thanks but no thanks :) This round, i'll pass.
Cheers.

It was designed to c... moremake sense much? no. what doesn't it have the compete? the fact that it's not only touch screen but open source with a QWERTY keyboard AND a trackball? or the fact that it has a 3.2 mp camera? or the fact that the apps are easier to find, obtain, install and use? or the fact that it's cheaper to buy and cheaper to use monthly on a 3g network that has a free spectrum of any and all traffic other than TMO....use your brain about the plan as well LOL

Victor-
Thats not true! If your paying a $19.99 internet data plan, we would remove that and add the $24.99 data plan including 400 mms/sms. The G1 $24.99 data plans are the normal $19.99 blackberry or total internet plan plus the $4.99 for 400 mms/sms inlcuded.
G1 $34.99 data plans are the normal $19.99 blackberry or total internet plans plus the $14.99 unlimited mms/sms.
I am a tmobile employee and from first hand experience the phone is a 8 out of 10. The design is wack and so is the battery life. It will die after about 6 hours of heavy usage.
Watch out for the open source!!
Other then that GO TMOBILE!!!!!

I am very disapointed with this phone. It was designed to compete with the Apple Giant, though it was not given the feature set to compete. I am also sad that tmobile has embraced the industry practice of treating their existing customers like idiots, charging them extra for data services that could be provided under the existing $19.99 plan. Tmobile is telling me that I must pay an additional $24.99, on top of the $19.99 that I am already paying for data services. They report this is because the G1 uses its own data connectivity package (Even though it operates on the exact same band as the rest of their 3g phones). Existing customers beware, for your next bill may be very interesting.How can they justify this, when the entire point of a sim card is to switch between multiple devices?

T-Mobile in the states is kinda like Telstra here in Australia, they both rule the telecommunication markets. Here Telstra have the "sidekick" or as we know it the HipTop, so I'm assuming that if I can get my hands on one of these, that it would work on Telstra's Next G network. If not, I'll settle for just 3G... It's good enough.
I've seen the advertising for these phones, and I am seriously drooling. I really really really want one.

the g1 will only work on the t-mobile network. you will be very unhappy if you try to use it with another carrier. same deal as a sidekick basically.

only thing i dont like is that they making you get that 3g stuff and bad part for me is that both the place where i live and go to school have very weak signal of 3g so for now its worthless for me to get this phone and end up paying 35 more on my monthly bill adds up to 840 dollar for two years hmmmm can get a really good device for that price

android platform is still far from stable. i recently programmed two softwares for that platform and experienced many issues with the api. i would not recommend an android-powered cellphone right now.

"...depts?" Are you referring to "depths" I do not understand you. How can you post on a public site and sink to the depths of English illiteracy.
