Just watched the videos too. This thing is most definitely *NOT* an “iPhone Killer” by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, that 1gb limit has become a HUGE deal for many people, especially with possible iPhone converts. Also there’s no desktop synching. I like the phone but I really don’t want all of my contacts/etc being tied to Google. I have a Mac and use MobileMe and it does its job and stays out of the way. The G1 is just shoving Google down our throats. They are already talking about making more money with Google ads. Sorry, but if I only have 1gb per month before I’m at 33.6 modem speeds, I want it all to be ad-free.

Hrm. I dunno. Count me in with the folks that want to actually see the thing and read real reviews first.

For those of us who are locked into the old total internet service, the internet cap should be exempt to us. I have reviewed the terms of the service, and no where does it mention caps, or speed reductions based on abusive usage. Should tmobile try to enforce this policy the will face a class action law suit, to be led by yours truly. I have been using my T506 as a modem in the heart of Boston, and the speeds I have been getting are disappointing. The first time i used it, my speed was well over 900k, though lately i am lucy to get over 100k. This leads me to believe tmobile has capped my usage, violating the terms of my total internet account. Has anyone else experienced this?

Why does everyone make it a big deal about not having a 3.5 nmm jack? What advantages does that have?

A couple things are confusing to me. #1, reading the words on this page imply that it IS “available in all stores within 3G boundary area”. so can I buy this tomorrow? or should it read “will be available at some point”? #2 What does “open system” mean; can I run software meant for plam OS or pocket PC Windows on it? little help please?

Ty,

You will either need a HTC specific set of headphones, that I believe comes in the box, but expect them to be cheap. Or will need a USB to headphone jack adapter.

You WILL be able to watch movies. Period.

Checkmate,

I don’t call a company’s bluff or make assumptions on a company’s future intention on a 2 year $1800 minimum contract. Sorry.

@ Checkmate

Thanks for clarifying the information for these people. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Anyone else notice that there is no video showing them making a phone call? How does one dial the phone on it? I guess I’ll figure it out when mine arrives.
