Get a replacement now!

[RDILLZ]

first of all, anyone with squeaks, send your phone back now! I just recieved my replacement G1 friday and its so much better than the preordered one. No sqeaks, and the battery last about 4× longer. It also came with an adapter so you can use all of your old head phones! Didnt get that with the preorder. The keyboard is better as well. I get more feedback from the buttons. Everything is faster. BTW, It also came with the update RC28.

it came with an adapter? 3.5mm? damn if it did ima hit up tmo for a set. that would be so wrong if loyal customers didnt get it and newbies or peeps that got the phone after the pre-order did. ima raise hell in a tmo store! thanks for the info.

you dont have insurance? that sucks. atleast you have your 1yr manufacturer warranty. yea if it creaks or you have manufacturer problems then im almost 100% sure you can bring it in. they have to exchange it, cuz its not your fault.

I second that!

My original G1 creaked when pushed in the lower right corner of the screen.
Got the replacement on Thursday. No creak + headphone adapter + RC28

GPS seems a bit worse at finding my location though but as RDILLZ said the battery
life does seem much better. I wonder if that has anything to do with the GPS. I did notice that my original G1 would have times where the GPS icon would be on quite a bit (couldn't turn it off from OS or other apps) and the battery life seemed to be quite a bit worse when this happened.

Overall I'm much happier with then new G1

think I may go down to the local T-Mo store Monday then, the keys in the left corner are pressed in. Do I just bring in the box and all the contents and do the replacement there or do they send away for it? if they send away, do i get to the keep the phone until it comes in?

bring everything in and demand a new phone. give them hell. (thats what i would do) they might give you a new phone right there since its defective. but whatever happens you should update us on this thread. im sure we would all like to know what happened. good luck.

I called T-Mobile end of October and they sent the replacement after about a week. I got my original from the T-Mobile web site and delivered on 10/21.

I would try the store first then try calling customer support.

When Did you order the replacement one? I sent mine on Nov 5th and hopefully I will get the new batch. Unfortunately I'm getting a black one now I wanted another bronze but they tell me they are sold out
