Official Thread: T-Mobile G1 Q&A - Your Questions Answered

[stopcrazypp]

just a quick question.. maybe i missed it but where can i find complete specs in print?

These are the complete specs from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/g1/specification.html

T-mobile page if you are interested:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/...h-Google-Black

If you google "t-mobile g1 specification" you'll find some other ones probably, but those aren't official.

I was wondering about the quality and functionality of Google Calendar on the G1. Is it as intuitive and easy to use as the web-based application? What are your thoughts on it?

Hi everyone, I have a simple question:

Can you boot the G1 wihout SIM card at all? Can you activate connection to google account using wi-fi?

Thanks for any answer!

[DDM123]

Nope. Need a sim.

As of right now I think that only Gtalk uses data, and the other IM apps (MSN, AIM) use text.. I don't have the phone so I'm not sure, I just think I read that somewhere.

The calendar is very intuative - you can set it for month, week, day view - scroll through these views, times...etc. Find your day/time to add an event, press & hold to create a new event, set parameters - it's very thorough - quite a few reminder options, etc.. I was concerned about this feature because I used my calendar on my Dash for everything. I'm very happy with the G1 calendar set up.

I didnt even know they came with a sim card...
Well, you better use the new one then and trash the old!

Maybe call 611 from old phone for further clarification if you dont feel comfortable with the answer
