I have a T-mobile G1 and have to say It is by far the best out there in my city. (Vancouver WA) I love the fact that there are less users on my network. i.e. open bandwith. I have tons of friends with Iphones and every time we do a speed check my G1 totally blowes them out of the water.

If you want to try and look cool by all means please PLEASE get an iphone. I think you look cool with one in your hand. It makes me think(Wow that person has no clue but they will spend whatever to follow the flock) There is only one real reason to buy an Iphone and that is you purchased a bunch of DRM locked music and have nothing else to play them on.

Oh and guess what. I can type wayyyyyy faster on my physical keyboard. and I have a soft landscape for those other times. Its just so much nicer to have the keys open and a full screen to look at.

mboo, just call the retention dept. thats what I’m doing when it comes out. As long as you sign another 2 year agreement (lol!) they’ll let you have it at the optimum 2 year price (like what you paid for the G1)

To: “Brandon says: Honestly, I regret buying the G1. Wish I would have waited to get the BB curve 8900…. you live and you learn…”

I feel the exact same way as you. I totally regret letting the CSR talk me into upgrading to the G1. Worst decision I’ve ever made with phone selections. So now I’m stuck with another 2 year contract. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to wiggle my way out of it when the Touch Pro2 comes out.

People get the 8900 cuz G1 can’t do real business e-mail like Exchange or BB server. They totally missed the boat there with the G1, could have been an iPhone killer but they half-assed it. It’s all about the TouchPro2 now, baby!

i dont understand why ppl would want a 8900 over a g1, is it because the g1 is widely used, is it because its a blackberry, or is it because ppl hate htc……theres nothing wrong with this thing im completely satisfied. i could do anything i want and need and more…all phones have their limitations and problems but seriously a 8900 over a g1???

drivethruboy168, T-Mobile and Verizon are not the only ones using 3.5G. That’s a ridiculous statement. AT&T has the fastest 3G network around followed by Sprint (which is soon to change with Sprint’s release of WiMAX 4G) Verizon is a close 3rd with T-Mobile trailing at dead last of the top 4 US carriers. This is to be expected with T-Mobile having a brand new network. The problem obviously is that T-Mobile has no 3G phones that attract customers besides the G1. That will change with the release of the SK 3G, TP2, G2, and HTC Maple/Snap along with a few more mid phone releases. Of course, this is all makes sense because the network is still new. T-Mobile’s top speed data speed is 1.2 mbps while that is the average speed with Sprint which can reach 3.6 mbps. Verizon can reach those speeds also (they have the same type of CDMA EVDO Rev. A network that Sprint has) while AT&T can now reach 7.2 mbps on the HSPA network (in a couple of areas and yes, that does depend on the device and network congestion). Still, all 3 three networks average speed are T-Mobile’s top network speed. We still have a ways to go but will get there with good phone choices and continuing to upgrade our network (which we are doing but at a snail’s pace)…

I’ve spoken to many Iphone users who complain about battery life. At least, on the G1, you can replace the battery and even get a nice big battery that lasts all day (although you have to pay $50 for it). Don’t come on a tmo network and troll around. Go play with the iphone and stop bashing other phones.

I have serious buyer’s remorse with my G1, I honestly wish I had waited on the 8900. I’m with Brandon up there.

Hello T1

Glad to hear you are well.

I have had nothing but trouble with my G1.

Dont get me wrong the idea is nice, BUT,
I must say after ordering the iPhone, I had buyers remourse and wondered if I did the right thing.
Well let me tell you..
I DID
I have had the iPhone on all day and used it too. Listened to music etc.
Do youknow the battery level is still showing FULL after being on all day.
My G1 would have needed a charge by now and if I was using it for get about it.
It would be red bar in 4 to 6 hours. If I had EVERYThing turned off I would get a days work out of it barely needing to plug it in once I got into the car.
The 3G in New Jersey was garbage also. Faded in and out constantly only to have constant dropped calls, failed sent texts and firend who say I have traveled outside the calling area… WTF was that about… endless calls to TMobile to no avail.
I will say this..
After USING my iphone I LOVE IT!!! EVERYTHING WORKS RIGHT!!!
No dropped calls and NO issues…
I got the 16GB Refurbished for $149.99 and IT IS LIKE BRAND NEW WITHOUT A MARK ON IT.
It came in a refurbished bos but it came with EVERYTHING…
I had to get it….
The APPS are great and I cannot say enough GOOD about it…
Anyway
I DID love my G1… but after using the iPhone.. The G1 is SUBPAR to say the least…
They could have done better….

Anyway enough here ….
BEST TO YOU ALWAYS!!! Maybe I will be back on day with a G5 or somthing…
PEACE ALL!!!
