Is the monthly payments seriously $80/month for only 300 mins? Wow. I don’t even have 3g access here…. sigh.

Reid, yea sometimes port overs can take up to 24 hours, sad but true all depends on when your previous carrier decides to let go of your number.

The rep at the t-mobile store that I bought my G1 from said I would have dual service until my number port went all the way through.. and that the number port should only take 2 hours max. So I waited an hour with this error coming up every time I try to log in with my google account. Then called t-mobile customer care like it said in the error message. They told me that I should just wait another hour for the port to go through… it’s been almost 8 hours since I was at the store. So I called the store to bitch at them, and the lady there told me that it will take 24 hours for the number to port and that I will have no functionality until that happens. This is depressing…

Got mine in Richfield MN couple of hours ago. No lines, plenty of sevice reps in the store. Wow!!! What a great phone!!!! Don’t care much of IM, wish I could delete it of the phone along with some other features. Browser is great. Anyone tried to stream radio??? Most of my fav stations say “Video file is not supported”. An app anyone??? Voice dial is GREAT with numbers, and I mean it GREAT. Not so with names. Not quite enough apps in the market yet. Anybody knows of SAFE alternative sources to get apps? Battery cover seems a little flimsy. KBT is great. Track ball seems to stick out a little too much IMHO. MicroSD cover feels like it will break sooner or later. Overall- no regrets, 9 out 10. Will get 16 gig card as soon as someone confirms that G1 is capable of it (I’ve heard 8gb max).

Called customer service, they said white will be available in November, most likely after Thanksgiving.

I have one on hold to pick up today for $179 upgrade price….but thinking about wiating for the white one.

I saw the black and the bronze in store, they are OK, but the white looks great from what we’ve seen on internet.

I was at work this morning for the launch of the G1 and we had about 20 people in line. Overall I like my G1(had it since friday) and coming from a Wing its sooo much better. The battery life is bad but I use it all the time. And yes taking off the back is hard to do, but at least you can take the back off(stupid iphone).
