Awesome! I was searching for this info this morning!! Thanks!!
you guys are funny lol. I was happy to see that I can pre-order the phone without putting money down. lol i was gonna have to owe loan sharks if otherwise. I love TMOBILE!
Awesome Guys thanks I can’t wait till the 22 so I can get my Brown G1!
I have a question for u guys do u know why they didn’t put the screen sensor on it so the screen rotates when u turn it?
already got it printed
i had to call tmo to change my shipping address and pay it off in full. they told me “its guaranteed there BY the 22nd” i can only hope it comes earlier.
oh i just had an orgasm. all i needed to kno is if yu could set ur own ringtones without havibng to buy them. and can! yay lol
lol
ARGGGG!!!!!
Ialready preorderd and i already Brought an 8 gb micro sd off ebay.
Im all ready for Oct 22
I only have ONE Nagging Question
Does this thing have a Friggin BackLight for the keyboard and Phone?????!!?!?!? Thats my only worry
I would hope so. Even the cheapest phones have backlights for use in dark environments.
So wait, I have a question. You can preorder without putting money down? Because that’s exactly what I need…
@ sin city
depends on ur current balance
I already preordered and they said it would be on my Next bill
Actually, as long as your bill is current ($0 balance owed), they will bill you when the unit ships. So depending on your billing cycle, that’s when you will see it on your bill (based on ship date… 10/19-21 or so).
I have a balance owed (but not due until Oct 10th) and I purchased without paying anything upfront.
Ok, I meant as long as you are “current” on your bill. If your bill is not due then you balance is really $0 as of today.
I love the Caring For Your Phone section.
I didn’t read anything about being able to sync up with my computer. What about Thunderbird or Outlook!? If not, somebody in the Android community better get crackin’!
You guys are funny getting all excited over a piece of crap like the G1 never in a million years will that grabage beat the iphone sorry tmo customers g1 suckS!!!! G1 blows hhahhahhahahaha i love my iphone a “real” phone
On page 35 of the User Manual I found this bit of wisdom:-)
“If it rings and you discover it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.”
Thanks T-Mobile!
Keep the iphone i’ll take my chances with the g1 the andriod is sooo cool the open market is gonna kill the iphone download store
@ diordna
lol
i’m so impatient. the days are going by so slow… i can’t wait to get my hands on the G1!
There are a bunch of typos in this manual.
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm30234.pdf?&A2L.SERVICE=Manual
Look at page 25, at the bottom they are discussing voicemail, and all the sudden it jumps to talking about the SD card. Ha, but no visual voicemail SUCKS.
The G1 is truly a CRIPPLE phone and people are talking about it’s going to get better, just wait for the updates, they are going to be new apps coming soon, yeah right! Naw, why would anybody in their right mind set purchase a CRIPPLE phone,{LOL} Would you purchase a CRIPPLE car? One thing I can say, I have never known SonyEricsson to come out with a CRIPPLE phone ever. T-Mobile/Google ran the old Apple 52 fools fake out, Jedi Knight iphone marketing trick on all of you, now check this out http://sonyericsson.com/X1/ …………!
wow, this guy technologyxda is annoying.
G1 blows all you tmo customers are dumm wasting your money on a piece of grabage iphone rules i love my iphone a “real’ phone hahahhahahaha g1 sucks really bad and it looks so ugly ahahahh
Also manual says MICRO USB but the pics show a extusb. Can anyone confirm either way?

I’m telling the truth, the G1 is a CRIPPLE phone, the truth hurts you ….!
@TechXDA – It is simply a difference in preference. No one is hating on u for the choice u made (sony ericsson) so let adults be adults and make their own decisions. I personally don’t care how you feel about the decision I made to purchase the G1…cause you are in no way a part of my life! No one is listening to you anyway…we got our G1’s and who cares how you feel about it!
I’m looking forward to receiving this phone and thanks to TmoNews for all the updates. I’m also looking forward to creating mobile versions of my site in the near future.
G1 sucks plain and simple only a fool would get this phone oh boy do i love my iphone a “real” phone
it did have its few downfalls but they are already being fixed.. like no 3.5mm jack.. its now gonna come with an adapter.. sure its not as good as it being on the phone but an inch longer on your cord isnt gonna kill anyone.. the 1 gb cap that everyone was freaking about is now gone and now a company is already coming out with a free solution to the no exchange server/ syncing with outlook problem and its only been 2 days since it was announced.. i dont understand how its crippled

-Page 33
Excellent!
ha! something isn’t right here… from page 25. i guess you are supposed to remove the SD card when the voice mail number is dialed?
Call voicemail
If you have a new voicemail message, you will see this icon in the status bar. To call your voicemail
number:
1 Open the notifications window to reveal the New voicemail notification:
2 Select the notification.
3 Your voicemail number is dialed.
• To remove an already-installed SD card, push the card in gently, then release. The card
should pop out far enough so you can remove it.
4 Close the SD card cover until both ends are seated.
Important! The phone does not think the SD card is inserted if both ends of the cover are not
properly closed.
“I have a question for u guys do u know why they didn’t put the screen sensor on it so the screen rotates when u turn it?”
THEY DO HAVE IT!
1) accelerometer
2) i’ve seen EVERY g1 video (yup, every one) – one of them shows the third party video player app from one of the g1 demonstrators at the event in NYC, and he shows how if you’re watching a movie in portrait, he simply rotates phone (without opening it up), and the screen flip to landscape
this feature is completely application-dependent
enjoy!
@ jeremy: haha, nice one….maybe a typo, shouldn’t be “4″ but a “*”
For some reason i cannot view
does any one else have a different link
Trollers are so pathetic having to back their decision on buying “xperia” “iphone”. Personally they should all go on an island and stay there with there bias lame comments. I think the G1 is a damn cool device. I might try it out at the store first…I want to check out the keyboard.
G1 sucks when are you guys gonna realize this!!!!!!!!!!!!
iphone lover, you are “grabage” so go play with your iphone in your iroom in your mom’s ibasement.
TechnologyXDA, why are you here again?? Enjoy your phone that has been delayed 47 times. Frames, OMG that is frickin’ amazing, have fun with it tool.
@iphonelover Apple sucks dude. Expensive, over-priced garbage. The only thing it’s good for is graphic design and music…that’s it. So have fun with your proprietary garbage phone when us new G1 owners will be able to 10x as much with our phones.
G1 is awesome. I don’t understand why people seemingly “despise” or “hate on” others for their choices. “G1 vs others” “Xbox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii” “Canon dSLR vs Nikon dSLR” “T-Mobile vs others”
I think there are a lot of people out there that aren’t quite satisfied with something in their life so decide to choose other things people look forward to and try to make them feel stupid for their decision. Or at least comment on how much “better” their choice is. It’s actually quite sad.
I welcome G1 and what it brings to the table, such as how open it is for development by anyone at all – can’t wait for the multitude of applications that will be all over this phone!
Thanks you TmoNews!!! Now, normally I read the manual AFTER I play with the phone for a few days but I might just make an exception here, hehe
Hey TMONEWS. Please please please require registration to keep these Steve Jobs humping asshats off here. Please?
remember everyone. When you think Apple…think corporate douchebag.
@iPhone Lover: U said, “G1 sucks plain and simple only a fool would get this phone oh boy do i love my iphone a “real” phone.”
Wow…I guess you haven’t heard…but, a “real” phone is simply a phone that you can make and receive calls on. LOL.
Why do you haters spend time reading all of the G1 blogs and commenting? Isn’t your iPhone keeping you busy?? Apparently not because you obviously have a desire to keep up with the latest information on the G1 or you wouldn’t even be here.
@ WazzuKirk
Wow. You just wasted a perfectly legible sentence on someone who writes the same nonsense over and over in — seemingly — the same incoherent language ALL virtual @ssholes spew.
iPhone lover blahahahaha the name says it all, that phone is problably the only thing you have to love and do something for you after you touch it. What a looser. People usually bash things that they feel are better that what they have, so keep on bashing iphone humper its only making my point.
Admin, can we please get rid of the iTrolls?
@Cubs
Sorry but I can’t. I simply can’t remove someones posting ability simply because they don’t agree with your/mine opinion. Part of gadget blogs and blogs in general is a difference in opinion and while we all know that he is clearly a fascist pig hell bent on stalking Steve Jobs I can’t just remove him. I won’t stifle discussion just because someone disagrees.
