Screen shots are the best…

By David Beren September 19, 2008 2:27 pm EST Comments (61)

Engadget just posted this little goody. While we await Tuesday, revel in the fact that a pre-registration link is available and it is beautiful. Still, I think we should still be planning on a late October launch as recent rumors have discussed. Just four more days, four more days.

Edit: Those sly devels at T-Mobile already took the G1 advert off of MyT-Mobile.com. Looks like it was just a brief apperance. Do we think it was a mistake, or a well planed publicity stunt? Well we’re not sure, but we do know that if it was a publicity stunt it worked, and if it was a mistake, that guy should get a raise because they got net buzzing with the highly anticipated G1 release.

If that screenshot is real, then what Holden said, hmm…isn’t true….Shows that same design again…..

I was able to sign into my.t-mobile.com and got the welcome screen that showed the G1…It does have the caveat “screen and device images are simulated”…

The link is gone now..not sure what happened. I was too late to see it. Mabye it was put up by mistake or maybe just to teese us about it.
Tammy

Awww I missed the the link – i never saw the welcome screen, it just shows my boring old “my t-mobile page” lol. Can’t wait for Tuesday!!!

Link does not appear when I log into tmobile either. Maybe there is no love for KC MO.

You need to sign in to your my.t-mobile.com account, then type the link in the address bar and it will take you there, the link to http://www.t-mobileG1.com does not work.

the link is still there after this part of your account login:https://my.t-mobile.com add /promotions/welcometemplate.aspx and youll see it
Silence

If you type in the address, after you log into tmobile, that page does show up. If you try clicking the link, it takes you to t-mobileg1.com, which is dead.

sam

can’t see it… :(
Rob

its real, i just took the web address and it made me log in, took me straight to the page… i just got a boner! (metaphorically)

This is funny, when you login and select something like the monthly “scoop” it will take you to the folder “/Promotions/GeneralTemplate.aspx?Asset=Pro_Pro_Scoop” but the address in the screen shot above is all lower case and no URL parameters. Leads me to believe this isn’t a yet published page since the web servers are case sensitive.

@tfan I can’t see it from mine :(

guess they must have got too much traffic on that page and removed it
WazzuKirk

The best part of this whole September 23rd date is that we will get the official announcement of the G1 AND Seattle goes live with 3G (my market)!! Woo hoo!! I’m psyched!
Buster

Not working either, could be regional, I typed the whole url in after loggin in, it does not show it on the top right as it does in this screen shot.

Their IT could of had it up for a test, so I just marked it as my favorite. Will try it once a day!
GreenEyedBandit

Today was a great day, had a focus meeting with the GM of call center and well surprise. Nothing but android galore, he claims the 23rd of sept will be the launch of device during the conference. Call center is getting a dozen test phones to be trained in but is aware that by time phones arrive, will already be released to public before only meaning that phone will launch ahead of the presumed Oct.14th date. And yes the model shown online is the same phone just smoother.

Interesting.. the graphic calls it T-Mobile G1 while the name of the gif file is actually ‘kila welcome tout.GIF’. Does this mean that Kila and G1 is actually the same phone??

===============
i don’t believe i ever said htc. and never said i was in a call center. but that aside as i have mentioned in the other thread the actual phone is the link in my posts. also the above photo of the so called mytmo site is laughable. its a photo shop pic.

And that explains why the link to the actual image on T-mobiles servers 13 posts above your verifies that it is in fact from T-mobile? Here it is again if you missed it:

I checked it out and can confirm that the picture above is 100% accurate. That is exactly what was on the site for a brief time period earlier today.
T1 Connect

dud your saying someone hacked into tmobiles computer purposly put a fake pic of the g1 on thier site to mess with the customers only to take it off i think what tmobile was doing was getting the page ready for the phone, put it up on the site to test it and someone caught it and spread it to the whole world. the phone you showed me b4 with the scroll whell looks like it came of the line with the touch cruise not even htc’s style right now. the white phone we saw was in line with what htc is producing right now. if i was a hacker wanting to pull a bad prank i think common sense would take over and tell him this is freakin stupid.

Such a tease! I CAN’T WAIT! :)

Hey if use the link like jason has posted in that is says screen and ” DEVICE” SIMULATED < possible tease with a FALSE one agian :\ GRr just gimmie Please tmobile i beg of u
wolfepakt

i think that holden is a plant. as a tmobile employee his job is to throw false info to confuse bloggers.

Alright… It is not photshopped… If it was I wouldn’t have been able to load it up on my iPhone. You have to be logged in on my t-mobile.com and then in the address bar put in the link and it should take you there. I called up co workers of mine and they couldn’t load it up on the computer at the retail store. They got the page but it wasn’t showing the “introducing the new T-Mobile G1″ so they might have put it down… But I’ll show them tomorrow when I get to work. It’s real… It’s not photoshopped. I work at a retail store soo @holden it’s not photshopped. I pulled it up on the site. If you lived in L.A I would show it to you because it’s not coming off my phone till I can show everyone! TUESDAY I CAN’T WAIT!!!!
drivethruboy168

By the way… I hate my iPhone… It’s more like my iPod touch with a 2 meg camera on it! Don’t use it as a phone… It’s junk for that.
drivethruboy168

well the update is true…got on my iPod and it was refreshed and tried to get it again but it was gone!
B.

So again. I’m sure that holden is being proven wrong and just can’t stand it. This obviously non photoshopped ss proves it on 2 levels. First THERE WILL BE A PRE SALE ( or at the very least pre registration) and that the phone is looking like the pics we’ve seen ( not the horribly photoshopped pic that’s been seen online for over a year, as he claims) I seriously hope that guy doesn’t work for tmobile. I would be saddened by having him on the team.
Tmonews. YOU ROCK!!!!! Keep up the good work and puttin fools in their place ;)
