I had the G1 for a week, and decided it wasn’t for me and went back to my Blackberry.

Plus the battery life was horrible, whereas by BB lasts me at least 10 hrs. I did like the touch screen, but the keyboard was entirely too flat for me.

I turned off 3g, lowered the brightness, and everything else…G1 couldn’t cut it for me.

From now on I will stick with RIM devices.

I hope the G1 sales are good though.

only can get phones at stores that are located in 3g markets. For all other loyal customers we can only get them from customer care or online

I know its only natural for people to compair G1 sales with Iphone sales. When looking the final prediction of G1 sales try to keep in mind that the G1 isn’t an Iphone and T-mobile is not ATT. The 1st gen Iphone was marketed as the ultimate Ipod with phone added if not all most of the iphone early adapters where ipod owners or mac users. With Apples already owning a largest share of the portable MP3 player market they knew it would be a huge success and if not they made the Ipod touch to fall back on. Unlike the Iphone the G1 had no fan base before they had any release notes on the device. Most of the early adapters of the G1 are the tech minded people who understand that the power of G1 is the Android OS.

When the Iphone was launched Apple and ATT marketed the hell out off it. Promoting with Tv and print ads. One thing Apple does better then anyone else is to market their products and ATT also has a pretty strong marketing team aswell. At the launch the iphone was available at Apple stores all ATT stores and online of course. Att has more stores and customers then T-mobile does. Unlike the Iphone the G1 is only available in stores located in within T-mobiles 20 plus 3G markets and from Tmobile.com.

“Obviously one can’t predict such things but its increasingly frustrating to have every article about the G1 have a comparison to the G1.”

Ordering a $350 phone a waiting over a month to *maybe* see it really sucks. I’m shocked that a company like T-Mobile allowed this to happen. But I guess they didn’t expect it to sell THIS well.

it would be interesting to see 1st gen iphone sales compared to G1 based in US sales.
I agree with on how dumb sites project their figures without limiting certain factors or even what the statistics are based. They just luv to toss numbers 4 a headline. Especially when it comes to US/World figures. So much information is omitted from the reader beliving the crap is world figure. For example news of iphone being number 1 without mentioning where this data came from, does it consist of US sales or world sales. They call them self reporters or journalists by manipulating information to fit their view, scandaltus fucks!
