Thanks, that sucks about the multi-touch. I’m sure its not that bad. But still it will probably get pretty annoying.

We will work on getting the timer up this week…I tried putting it back in this morning but something didn’t work right so I’ll play with it in a little bit.

Im with everyone else. I think you guys should put the timer back. It makes me feel a little bit better seeing that time is actually moving since it feels like time is at a stand still.

Will I be happy with this phone’s size if I am a front pocket carry guy and not a belt clip guy? This phone looks chunky from the side.

If my G1 is not in my hands on the 22nd I might have a severe heart attack. Like no joke. The days are going by so slow!

@T1/SheShe – I miss the countdown timer too. :( Please put it back. I’m not trippin on if the dates are incorrect/correct, but it’s nice to see it. I’m riding with yall (TmoNews) regardless!!

@Lanslyde – LMAO, I was thinking the same thing…like daaaaaaaaayum…where r u from cause the typos were off the chain!! But…I still got the message! It’s all good! Yea, I’m glad it’s black on black too. That’s what turned me off from the brown, the keyboard is a diff color and I’m not feeling that. The white is cool though with the diff color keyboard.

@drivethruboy168 – I pre-ordered the black, cause its my favorite color…but, the white one looks sweet as hell to me and I don’t even like white like that. So…unfortunately, I can’t help u decide other than to say that the white one will show sratches more than the black. My homegirl has a white pearl and it looks thrashed!!! White picks up scratche more than black … of course.

@Megan #9

You probably could, and if not out of the box, someone will create the app for it. One thing that you should know, however, is that the G1 is not multi-touch like the iPhone. That means the typing will be a bit slower than doing it on the iPhone because you have to actually lift your thumb before putting down the other thumb for it to recognize. From my understanding, Android will NEVER have multi-touch because apple has a patent on it. So unless apple wants to sell rights to use multi-touch (and knowing apple, they wont) you wont be seeing multi-touch on any phone other than the iPhone any time soon. I didn’t realize that until I read up on it, so making games that use traditional D-pad and button controls wont work on Android. It’s a bummer, but the G1 has a trackball, which is awesome still.

Soo… I’m stuck between the black or the white one. The brown looks cool but I have to see it in person. I heard some G1 will be handed out to some managers on October 8th. I’m jelous! ( don’t know if I spelled that word correctly. But yea… Can’t wait to sell my iPhone 3G!

@mp
i dont mean to be a butt about it but, that was bad grammar lol. i shouldnt laugh. i can help u if u want.

if the keyboard was silver it would be off cuz its too far away from black and the black would overshadow it. trust me it wouldnt be aesthetically pleasing at all
