T-Mobile G1 update has arrived
I have been largely silent about my first impressions of the T-Mobile G1 Android phone and that is by design. I decided to wait until I received the firmware/ software update that T-Mobile indicated was forthcoming to see if it addressed any issues I was having so far. I finally received the update a little while ago and I intend to see what difference (if any) it makes in the operation of the G1 before I share my thoughts. I can already tell that the G1 is faster with the update so that’s good.
I’ve been wondering when we’d see your review. I’m very curious.
I saw a speedup in the user interface and in web browsing when I applied the patch on Monday. I had to pause a bit when I saw the OTA update button, pulsating, saying “OK” me. I did and it is a better unit.

Would love to know what you think….
This is good news if you actually bought the ugliest most-overrated smartphone in existence, and it comes hot on the heels of today’s announcement that it has been jail-broken….

(Sorry, James… couldn’t resist the dig on buying the G1, lol. By the way… I ordered the Sprint Touch Pro, so I’ll be sure to let you guys and GBM know how I like it when it arrives.)
The only thing the G1 need is flashplayer update. The you tube quality need to be alittle better. If the g1 what to be as good as the I fone these update need to come out fast before buyers start switching fone
Do you know if it is availiable in the UK yet?
