G1 really worth the money?

[Drazhar]

seriously, 300 bucks if you are an old t-mobile customer extending your contract..

who can really see many nice apps being developed for this open source?

can it tether as in be used to get a laptop online... if so, how good is it?

adobe have flash for it but we are looking at another year before its release..

i have ordered the phone with the cheaper data plan ""25.99" is there a way to send im's for free? on a web based im service like meebo? or does the phone not have any kind of java to run the site?

im thinking of cancling my order.

We get the best concern trolls here.

[Drazhar]

well if im a troll, you are a retard...

i think its normal for people to ponder over these types of things if they are going to spend 300+ on something un proven (yet).

if you have nothing smart to say for a reply, then keep it shut.

Drazhar, i LOVE my G1. I was skeptical at first because of having to drop some $$. It was a investment I made and I LOVE IT. I went from a Blackberry Pearl to the G1. I will NEVER be able to have another phone unless its android or like the G1. The G1 is such an amazing phone I wouldnt even take a pearl if it was free. The g1 is fast, smooth, built great and has alot of potential.

How are things like phones "proven"? Is the iPhone proven because every yuppie with too much money thinks they need it to be cool?

I know you haven't mentioned the iPhone (kinda), and I'm not attacking you, I'm just curious to what you're looking for in proven.

p.s. The Android, currently, has proven to me to be the best phone for me. But I'm not you...

p.s.s. Hello AIM! is an amazing AIM app...

If you think 300 is a lot to drop for a mini-laptop, mp3,mp4 player, gps, calendar, camera, streaming music player,karaoke machine, with games and custom applications and push email....maybe you don't really need a g1.
Try a go phone, I hear they don't cost much.

I thought existing customers could get the G1 for $179 if they hadn't upgraded their phone for a while. I thought it was 20 months into your 2-year contract or 10 months into your 1-year contract.

The phone isn't $300+ if you've got an upgrade available. I've been with T-Mobile forever and I got it for $180.

If you've had a phone on contract for 11months, then the G1 is $179. I know this cause I just got a G1 yesterday after having a Blackberry 8100 Pearl for a year.

[skesseks]

i was an existing customer. 179$ for extending my contract for 2 years. and 179$ for my wife at the same time.
