Ordered white G1 for xmas, a few questions (keyboard, trial period)

[mrsack]

I was home for Thanksgiving break from college and my dad went ahead and ordered me a white G1 for Christmas. I am really excited about getting it, but I've been lurking these forums for a few days and am now worried about the keyboard lighting issues.

I've seen a 14 day trial period mentioned here, when does that start? My G1 will probably arrive between Dec 8 - 11 or so but I won't actually get my hands on it until the 25th, so I'm trying to figure out what to do if I need to exchange for the black.

Also, my local T-Mobile said I could only get the G1 online...is that just my local store or is that the case everywhere in the US? That's another factor I'll have to deal with if I need to exchange for black :/

well the deal breaker is that you have to wait till the 25th to get it and that's gonna be a problem. your 14 days from the day you receieve it not when you decide to register it. so i dunno what to do in your situation.

Call. T. Mobile. Now.

Call. T. Mobile. Now.

For what, do you think they can change the color? When he ordered it, I'm pretty sure the T-mobile guy said the order couldn't be changed after that point before it ships.

Also, if I tell my dad the situation he also may let me try it out before the 25th.

No, call T-Mobile to ask them the terms and conditions of your contract. It could be different for you than the people you're asking.

actually the keyboard light is not bad~~i could type with no problem~~

I don't think there is any problems with the keyboard backlight on it. Its only a problem when there is low light I guess? But if you know a qwerty....you're fine. People make it into a bigger deal than it is.

i just got a white g1 and the lighting is really low, but its not really that big of a problem for me

I called T-Mobile yesterday and the lady said that I would have 30 days to try out the phone, so that should be plenty. If I did think the keyboard viewing was too much of an issue, she said I could order a black replacement and send the white one back when the new one came in. Sounds good to me!
