G1 went dead - now no internet - no activation ...

[NetCom]

Well, it was the matter of the time when my G1 would start acting up.

After definitely noticing better battery life after RC30 arrived to my phone, I have experienced more bad stuff than good.

First problem - phone just froze on it's own. Hard reset with battery out/in helped me to get it back on.

Second problem - today it just shut-off on it's own. Hard reset with battery out/in helped to turn it on. After turning it ON my G1 does not have any kind of internet connection anymore. I did factory reset - did not help: now I cannot even activate my gmail account.

I am calling 611 right now to get this resolved ...

Am I pissed? You bet I am ... and T-Mobile will get hit with the hurricane of my anger!

After 86 minutes of troubleshooting I am getting brand new phone shipped by 3-day express service at no charge to me.

One interesting information for all:
Customer Rep stated since I ordered from T-Mobile.com website (pre-order) there was 20-day return period and he would not be able to get me the brand new one. I asked politely if he was able to ask his supervisor and see if he is generous enough to accommodate that one day that I was running behind and he sure did.

If I knew about this I would most likely return my phone and go back to my MDA. Well, before I open the new one - I will think twice: either to sell it and get something more expensive or just keep it and pray whatever happens :)

Just quick update: order has been processed and it is on the way to me. I was asked to pack my old phone up with everything I received the first time and provide them with the tracking number, which I already did. Pretty simple...
