Android Community is hearing from multiple T-Mobile G1 users that Android 1.5 “Cupcake” is being pushed out as an OTA upgrade. The system update, which was released officially to developers earlier this week, will be rolled out to handsets throughout May, according to one report.
Cupcake 1.5 brings with it an on-screen QWERTY keyboard, necessary for the new breed of Android devices which lack hardware keyboards, such as the HTC Magic and Samsung I7500 (which will have the new version out of the box). Other improvements include direct photo and video uploads to Picasa and YouTube, respectively, together with various behind-the-scenes improvements such as faster browsing courtesy of new JavaScript and webkit engines. Video demo here.
Reports are telling us that the update is reaching users in the US and Europe. The Android 1.5 system update is a 44MB file, and as yet there’s no way to artificially trigger its download, only wait for your carrier to push it OTA. Keep track of progress in this forum thread.
Yep, but if i've imported the G1 to switzerland ??
I don't want to put a non official firmware on it ...
I just go back to the main screen to read them.
Here's hoping I get my update soon!
it seems the user who have received the OTA can find it in the logcat output "adb logcat" and search for a url "http" should be good enough.

--Edit: erm, nevermind... I now see you only came for cake.
I haven't much luck with JF before as my phone got locked into a continuous loop, twice.
Apps2SD isn't a problem, I have 33mb with browser taking up 12mb, so 45mb if I clear it.
Only thing I'm missing is custom theme?
For some reason, my phone is running much faster stock than it did rooted and modded.
Possibly because I dl'ed a bunch of apps. I don't know. I'm not really missing the custom theme that much.
I should be receiving this in a week or so then. Joys of the UK

Strange i thought you didn't need to have a sim card in the G1 in order to get OTA updates onces the G1 was already activated? Can anyone else please help me verify this please?
@Kommie, we need more big bangs around here to keep you around then, huh?
I have my WIFI running all night with out my SIM card in my G1 and my G1 is already activated and i am hoping that i would still get the Cupcake update over WIFI.
relax guys.
Johnny - I am a bit off topic but I notice you are in So Cal. Do you have 3G off or just not in a 3G area?

but 10 mins away i have 3g lol
I think google would be the one to ask on this though. - tMobile will almost definitely give you as many answers as they have tech support personnel..
I went over by 75 minutes last month. I called and gave them some excuse, and they upgraded my plan and back dated it so that not only did I not have to pay for the overage, but I actually got minutes back. This is one of several instances when they have gone above and beyond for me. As for how they treat customers who haven't reached my leet 5 year status, who knows.

I discount anything anyone says until their PR goes out.
I don't believe this at all but if two different people have told him then. :/
Well in my case it didn't.
For example:
Not all widgets have been added yet such as calender && voice recognition (idunno how you write it =.=) didn't work for me.
Videorecorder works and the improved auto rotation is cool tho etc.
I didn't check everything yet since my battery died on my way home from school.
I'm not sure if this is a test version what I've been reading about but it's better than nothing ^-^
