G1 GET!

The UPS guy was kind enough to deliver me my new toy today. I almost didn’t think he was gonna make it. He arrived at 6:30pm. I was continually running out to the living room to look out the window every 5 minutes for him.

Anyways the new toy delivered was the newly released G1 phone by tmobile and google.
I had some difficulties getting it set up.

However after making a post that went unanswer after a few hours, I sucked it up and called the dreaded tech support. It was almost a night mare, it was that voice command bs. But after saying the magic word “troubleshooting” I got connected to a live operator who new his stuff. This guy had the screenshot memorized ! Problem was the data plan I was supposed to get, wasn’t applied to my sim card, and he hooked it up and I had my access within an hour.

Now I have got to play with to much, but I downloaded a mp4 player app, pacman, meebo IM, and downloaded the Dethklok album from amazonmp3.
So far it seems like its going to be a great toy to have around, waiting on some “military grade” shield wrap to protect from scratches and all, and for an 8gb microsd card, because 1gb is just not enough.

It also seems as if the battery is pretty wimpy. After a few hours it got into orange, ewww. However theres been a lot of complaints about the battery life, so maybe a recall in the future ? One could only hope. Hopefully they will at least have new batteries that last long that we can buy for a discounted and cheap price =D

But anyways, I hope to play with this thing some more and give a better review in the future when theres more apps and such.
