G1 Upgrades are only available to those whose contract has reached the 22 month mark! Though I’ve been with T-Mobile 3 years and cannot get the $179 price. There ideas of “world class service” leaves something to be desired.

Bet if I dropped my service, they would come around, but I doubt it.

I don’t really appreciate your comments. I work at Wal-Mart and I do know about the G1 along with all the other phones that we sell. Honestly it really depends on who your talking to at the store. When you called did you ask for electronics or Connection center? and by the way all this info about it releasing tomorrow is not 100% correct nor is the price. My guess is that it will be less expensive than the Tmobile store but to get the good price you will need the data plan. And like most phones what you pay for a new contract applys to the upgrades as well. Althougt I haven’t heard a word about what the plans are so maybe things will change.
